Upping the price will not lead to more sales.
The person putting down $200,000 for a car is not on any kind of budget - many average Joes can finance a Viper of Vette, even at $80,000 to $100,000.
Adding more crap on the interior would only increase weight - the only reason they ar e even offering "upgraded" interiors, is because people complained.. and it was people who didn't even buy the car who complained.
And exotic material interior costs upwards of $30,000 to produce/replace - so what good is a $130,000 ZR1 just to have a heavier "poseurific" interior?
Nothing.

I didnt say upping the price will increase sales and for all I know the numbers you just threw out are bs. Also you're getting a little extreme with the interior prices and comparing it to a Ferrari. Of course Ferrari sell less cars, but that has nothing to do with the interior.
Average joes cant afford a 100k car.
Adding more crap will increase the weight? Perhaps marginally, not enough to affect performance. Look at a GT3 RS, Nice interior, nice materials, weight savings too. Its more than possible to do.
I'm sure the people that complained didnt buy the car. But maybe they wouldve had it had a better interior.
Upwards of 30k? I dont mean an aston martin interior here, I mean something at least as good as a Golf GTI. Because as of right now, its far from it.
