Vortech - I don't think you're a dick, and you have the numbers to back up your claims. I yield to your superior research and background knowledge on the subject.
My claims of exclusivity on the Z06 are based on the fact that I have friends who strolled into the local Chevy dealers with cash in hand, and walked out empty-handed. You might see a lot of Z06's on eBay for cheap (mid $40s) but the fact is, you can't buy a new one from a dealer to save your life in these parts! No doubt Ford enthusiasts will encounter the same with the Cobra. Great car, cheap MSRP, and dealers that mark em up $5-$10K because they think the market will bear the price. Ford keeps production numbers low, not because they can't sell more Cobras, but because they want to keep the price high.
A loaded Cobra costs approximately $10K more than a GT with comparable equipment. My comment of 2/3 the cost post-upgrade was way off base. I must have been coming down of my crack.
