You've seen me on other threads, so you're aware that you have substantially more knowledge and experience with GM products than I do. I disagree with your thought process on why they do so... Maybe you've never shared it, but my guess is that you believe most Camaro buyers tend to be happier with their purchase than a ZL buyer. What if I told you that a high percentage of new car Porsche GT car buyers keep their car for 6-12 months? Same with McLaren 720S, Lamborghini Huracan Performante, Ferrari 488 Pista, etc... It's not the car, it's the "type" of buyer these cars attract when purchased new. The pre-owned buyer of these cars have a different mindset than the new car buyer of these cars. This type of buyer likes the latest and greatest. It's a conquering type of mindset. I'm not putting the ZL buyer in the same financial league as the other cars I mentioned (even though a small percentage of the ZL buyers are in that financial league). The financial league of several that are buying new ZL1's have the flexibility to switch out their cars for something different sooner than later. I believe their mindset is something like "great car, been there, done that, what's next." Of course they're doing it with slightly more "affordable" cars, like a ZL1, Z06, GT350, Hellcat, etc... The mindset is the same with the new car exotic buyer (especially if it's a rare and exclusive version of the "regular" Hurican or 488), they're just doing it with a much bigger budget.
