Much of it is about "Lifestyle" and what some people can afford! Hi demand for so few quality cars. Its that simple.
If you think musclecar prices are insane. How about taking a 30 day "Exotic Hunt" for Lion in Botswana. You still have time to make a reservation for the 2007 season. It will only run you $139,150 for 30 days!

If you can't quite spring for a lion. That's O.K. How about $58,250 for an Elephant instead. For those of you who are wondering. The average tusk weight is 60 pounds.
Maybe we should stop analyzing the market and let it be!
And no I have no intention of shooting a lion anytime soon.
