9MPG is just another "V8's must get bad gas mileage" BS statement. So the Z06 gets 2MPG less across the board, but makes 130HP more and 163 FT/LB more. Seems like a very worthy fuel mileage trade off to me.
So where is this 100k difference in this "engineering masterpiece?" It doesn't perform better. Interior quality is about on-par now. Z06 is cheaper/easier to maintain and modify too. For 100k more, the Turbo S should perform FAR BETTER than the Z06.
You can buy two Z06's, keep one stock and spend 20k on track upgrades on the other just to spend what you would have in a single Turbo S. Imagine what the Z06 can do with 20k in aftermarket goodies since it already outperforms the Turbo S...

My 991 get 28mi/gal.
Listen...you can rock a Fossil or rock an IWC. Yes! They both tell time but the experience is different. I'll pay the premium, thank you. I can also DD MY TTS year round. Let me see that Z06 in year round driving! Moreover, you do realize you're trivializing track times as if that REALLY is a selling point. Great...a 6.2 liter engine with crazy hp. How novel! The ZO6 is amazing, but hardly on par with the Porsche's pedigree. I love German cars, Italian shoes and bikes, and French wine. Sue me!
and ultimately, it's a Chevy. I'm not spending $100k where I can also buy a Cobalt. Sorry. Just like I'm not buying a Diamond from Costco.
