To me it really comes down to what your actual car interests are, in regarding too, are you purchasing the vehicle for an investment, to drive, or possibly a combination of the two?
Having owned a number of Corvettes over the years. All have been "dd's", except the 74 which is under construction. Yes, did use the ZR-1 for about 7 weeks til I got my 82 back on the road over a year ago. That being said, I have made some $$$ on some of the ones I have sold and have also not made any $$$ on the others.
I bought the 94Z because I feel besides the C5 Z06, these are the best two buys on the market in this decade. I also have a habit which I am assuming that other members have and that is to pick up spare parts from time-to-time, just in case!!!
I'm just happy to own the Vettes that I do, if I sell one in the future, then fine, sell it for what it will bring and be done with it. To me a Corvette is a Corvette, is a Corvette. Sure some Corvettes look better than others, they do because of color combination, wheels etc., etc. So what, if you like, buy it, drive it. If you don't like it then don't buy it.
I've always enjoyed driving Corvettes, regardless!!! Corvettes are in my blood and always will be......investment status means nothing to me, driving pleasure is what it's all about, at least for me.....
