Is this based on anything? One thing that is based on actual demographic research, higher disposable income types typically are more flippers than holders......generally. For instance, the NBA.

Yep, pure unadulterated speculation.
It would seem to me that logically, if you're going to dip your foot into the water, you don't buy a $125,000 Kirkham (to use Dave Brown's Kirkham price from above). And they're aluminum, which means to many out there that they dent easy, as opposed to fiberglass which cracks, and polishing bare aluminum is more difficult than paint.

It's not.
If I'm dipping my toe into the water of Cobras, then $50,000 would be the smarter choice, just in case I change my mind, which most do. Too loud, too hot, they leak, no top, wind too much, roll bar, blah, blah, blah.
Also, SPF does a FAR better job of mass marketing than Kirkham. For one thing, it seems I get a few pop-up ads every day for SPF with their products, whether it be the Corvette GS, Cobra, GT40, etc. You want brand new? SPF has a dealer network (queue Rick Muck's appearance 3, 2, 1

) with their HQ in the car capital of the country, SoCal/LA. Inventory standing by right now.
You wanna new Kirkham? Go to UT. And wait a VERY long time.
Seems academic to me.
