It changes the value proposition for people who can't, or don't want to, spend that kind of money on a car. Now they can have similar or better performance for a fraction of the cost, 5 years ago this was not an option.

Yes, the European cars have better interiors, styling, and extra bells and whistles available, but I'm only interested in raw excitement and track performance so my ZLE fits the bill. I would like a 911 Turbo, but they are so damn expensive now and with track days, skiing and other travel it's hard to justify.
My daily’s are Mercedes and Audi and I don’t really find interiors or bells and whistles to be any better in those cars over the ZL1. You can’t even get key fob remote start on German cars because it’s against the law in Germany. I can remote start the Mercedes off the Mercedes Me app but not with the fob.
