If a car stops selling they either stop making it or adjust the price or make people want it through advertising etc. Again if the market keeps supporting new and increasing pricing and GM is hitting volume expectations on various models with theses profit margins there is no reason for them to stop. Not to mention pricing products according to cost and not according to what the market will bear is foolish business.

Along the same point, the SS outperforms the SRT8 Challenger which starts around 45k IIRC. It's actually very close to the GT350, which starts at 50k....for $37k. |

However, if you're not caring about the best performance, or are particularly brand loyal, but just want a big, comfortable V8 coupe with good styling and street manners...the 5.7 R/T is a steal. |

That makes sense, b/c their position on price is more fluid than what other businesses can withstand and a new car on a lot is more commodity like. It's comparison to the other similar products on the market/other dealer lots at that time, and the fact that it's somewhat perishable. Hence the massive price cuts on the in stock '15 Z28 cars.
The hot rodder in me says eff that big price though, I'll find an '06 vette and make it faster for less money.

Think there would be that same demand? I bet not. And what if the base price of the car started in the $70K range? Would it be in such demand then? Probably not. So, if Chevy wants to market these high dollar options, it has to be for a specific model that people want and priced reasonably. At the end of the day, it is still a Camaro to most people like a Mustang is to everyone. But gussy it up and call it a Shelby? Well, now you have demand.

I could not agree with you more but hey, some people with very deep pockets do not care.
