At that point, a rattle can painted fox body running 10s and destroying the Nurburgring could be considered a supercar because it has performance? I don't think so. So just cuz it performs doesn't make it a supercar.
The Porsche has it all...name prestige, performance, luxury etc. The ZL1 has performance, but that's about it.

Define luxury. I personally think that the way the electronics work in unison in the Camaro is pure luxury and high tech goodness overall. It has one of the best heads up displays on the Market. Maybe BMW is the only manufacturer that compares in that area.
The way the Nav unit talks to the HUD and the lap timers, the precision and dynamic ability of the magnetic ride control interface are next generation stuff that is not found in some of the $400k cars you are mentioning. Everyone can't have a Lamborghini. And because of the cost of the ZL1 in comparison to a Malibu it has a good level of exclusivity in its own right.
There is no limit to how much something can cost if someone is willing to pay. I'm willing to bet the new ZR1 will run circles around a Lamborghini Aventador and be right there with it in a straight line for 300k less and it is every bit a supercar.
