But the number of buyers who do not track their cars is small in relation to the overall sales. On the street, driving around town, going down the highway, etc, the Camaro will not 'feel' any different to the average buyer. It is definitely a better road course car without a doubt - but to John and Jane Doe those performance advantages will be lost and never enjoyed.

I think this is right on point. Chevy absolutely has the highest performance metric in the segment BUT (and this is where they're getting hurt) the level you have to drive the car at to separate it from it's peers is not going to be experienced on a test drive or as you said by John and Jane Doe ever. So you have a smaller car with a high price tag and less comfort.
