And people don't get or stay rich (for long) without considering economics.



If everyone did then not a single Lambo, Ferarri, Bugatti, Aston Martin, or countless other exotics, would ever be sold.

You think a guy who's moving into that price range doesn't consider which car can give him the most bang for the buck? (Whatever he considers "bang" to be...)




That's exactly right: "whatever he considers 'bang' to be".

The GT has a different kind of "bang" than a Z06 does. It's not aimed at the guy who's looking for best performance for the buck anymore than the Vanquish is (well, maybe a little more than the Vanquish is). Again, If you're the guy looking for how to get the most performance for your dollar, the GT isn't for you. But then neither are any exotics, since the EVO and the STi would trounce the living crap out of just about any car on the road in "performance/dollar". The number of extremely wealthy people in the world seriously dwelling on the decision of whether to get a GT or a Z06 is probably nil, and can certainly be counted on one hand.
