If you can explain the $6K price difference between the 2 models another way, then please do so. Otherwise, it is pretty obvious that V8's will be reserved for the fat-cats. I had a hard time justifying the $6K at the time I bought mine, and I'm sure it already puts the current V8 out of the reach of many potential customers.
Have you ever heard of "Ockham's Razor"? It applies to these situations.

Why is there $6,000 price difference between a SS V8 and a Lt V6? This is almost too easy! Let`s start in the front and work back.
Things that cost more to make an SS Vs an Lt model;
The front fascia (probably cost more) with factory spoiler.
The radiator.
The engine.
The transmissions(auto&manual)
The differential.
The suspension
The exhaust system.
Four wheel Brembo disc brakes.
20'' staggered wheels with premium Pirelli tires.
There`s probably a few trim items and other things I left out but that was some of the more major items I could think of right off the top of my head.
You really didn`t give it that much thought did you.
