I can also see the point where our Z's are known/famous for the power key.

I really never had anybody in my Z that asked me to run her with the power key off.
Another point i would like to make is the C6 ZO6 with the exhaust flappers most replace them,does that make it a lesser ZO6? i call it a mod.
It would not stop me from buying it,unless i was looking for a NCRS car.

If someone was looking for a collector low mileage stock Z there are plenty of those and for those that are looking for a clean fast Z plenty of those and they don't have to worry about vacuum leaks.

Either or way people decide to go it's there choice.
I will add it will not effect drivability,w/chip reprogram.
Just my thoughts.
