It does have exclusivity as well. You may see pretty many standard C6s, but not Z06s.

Drive one and you'll know.
This got me thinking...
What is the "definition" of supercar?
Well per Wiki: supercar
A supercar is a very expensive and fast sports car. Supercars are marketed by automakers as unusual and include limited production specials from an "elite" automaker, standard-looking cars modified for power and performance, as well as models that appeal to enthusiasts from smaller manufacturers.

If the z06 is coming down in value, it is no more a supercar per the definition Just another sports car on the road...
