Yup. I thought it was pretty lame when Porsche did this with the Spyder and Honda with the CR. Remove amenities that add a lot of, how to put this, "enjoyability", for 90% of the buyers, while removing only 10s of pounds, and charge more for it.

Putting the LS7 in a Camaro is a no-brainer, but removing what are now basic standard features to save less than 2% weight, leaving the car still 100s overweight is a bit silly and reeks of gimmickry. 1LE with a hot cam would get you the 500+ hp for 10s of thousands less
