I don't know, maybe I'm an outlier here but there's a lot of assumption in the OP's comments.
First of all there are boorish people that own cobra's, ferraris, and F150 pickup's. To read much into the ownerships demographics and/or knowledge base is based on what exactly?
Also while everybody should embrace whatever approach blows their skirt up, last I heard a "kit" is just that, a partial or full collection of parts or pieces constructed by you, others, amateurs or pros. I built a lot of models from "kits". Some guys build cars from "kits". Long standing factories, in anything, usually beat Joe-Bob, plumber by day.
This is a free market for these cars and there are reasons for a wide price strata.
Your car is your car and if you believe it's the absolute best for whatever reason, hey, great country, have fun, the broad generalizations kinda get a little dicy.

And FWIW I've spent decades in the financial world, so misconceptions and dealing with them is just a part of life. I always figured it was their world, we just get to live in it.
