That's true. I guess we just have to get past that period for the car to reach its true price point.

Maybe not to you, but that's why I said value is a subjective thing. Performance step up is one of the most important things for me for my next car, but it's not the only thing. Also have to look at cost, looks, interior, etc. My next car after my Z will most definitely not be one that is a step down in performance. At the minimum it should have the potential to be a step up after some mods.

Exactly, but of course this is the internetz and we will forever argue and bench race without ever even sitting in the car.
