I still don’t see your argument because GS and the GSX are two totally different cars. The GSX is comparable to the z06. The grand sport is nowhere near comparable and would cost more with a markup. Who would intentionally pay more for the exact same body with less power. I really doubt someone would ever do that with their own money in real life. Also, you have to consider the markup is just money being thrown away. If the actual price of the car was that expensive it would at least hold most of that value. I really don’t see it as a “preference” at that point like an e-Ray versus a z06 is a preference but when you have a grand sport, which is basically really just a body kit for $30+ grand in this scenario, it just doesn’t make sense. It’s not even a preference at that point. Maybe i’m crazy, but i don’t see it actually playing out in real-life with real dollars and any dealer asking for $30k over on a basic grand sport is basically dreaming. Hell ZR1s aren’t really getting $30k over anymore
