It's surprising so many of them sold, given the price. Not exactly impressive from a performance standpoint for $100,000, even by early 90s standards. 
Can't have felt good to buy a $100,000 V12 spaceship in '94 only to find out you'd get left behind by a lowly '94 Camaro Z28 if you faced one at a stop light or drag strip.

No mass appeal to that. I can almost guarantee it would've been far more successful if they had trimmed a little fat and worked on the acceleration and cornering. Compare it to an equivalently priced Porsche from the same era, and it gets dusted in acceleration, corners and your precious autobahn. Plus, you're missing the point. Saying you're going to leave a Z28 behind in a top speed run doesn't impress a soul when the car costs 4x as much, but getting beat or even kept up with from a stop light or in the 1/4mi is pretty embarrassing. It's like when I pulled with an E92 M3, I can say that my cheap turbo E30 kept up with a V8 M3, but who is going to care if you beat a faded E30 in your M3?
