Why would someone that wants all the creature comforts of the 2SS cross shop a base GT350? They wouldn't.

Actually you're wrong, I did. Most think a loaded A8/MRC/NPP 2SS controvertible will top $50k, and be in the $53k range, some say loaded to $60k. My self imposed 'max' budget is around $57k. I know people will pick apart the price difference, but please check yourself. Some people just want a toy, and while a loaded 2SS convertible, a C7, and a GT350 don't fit your idea of being "in the same arena" regardless of price, configuration, or "use", they are to some in broad categories of just being "high performance toys". That's it, just a toy to tickle a fancy. If you don't get that, you're either a diehard fanboy, or just want to be stubborn and disagree with someone who doesn't hold your opinion.
So I started looking at what else was available in that price range. Obviously that brought in GT350 and C7's.
I'm not a track guy, and my wife isn't fond of really loud cars, so I ruled out the GT350 no matter how cool the track star status is.
For me it's down to C7 and 2SS convertibles, with Wifey, God bless her, leaning towards a C7.
EDIT: Some of you are very hung up on pricing. Please remember, some of us aren't.
