I'd argue the twin turbo cars are more complex electrically especially the 13B-REW which was its demise in the US anyway.


Yes sadly ZR-1s are likely never going to be a great investment car in high demand.


I'm not sure today's kid will always want Porsche's. And long term I think good clean stock low mile 944 turbos have quite a bit of room to grow. Anyone that's drive them know it's a better driver's car than the air cooled 911s, but nostalgia drives price for the air cooled cars.


I once made a list of the best performance bargains under 20K and the ZR-1 is the near top as well as my 996. You can also get 944 turbos and FD RX7s under that if you look really hard and are patient or you can buy a basketcase in any flavor. The newest best absolute value is probably a Porsche Boxster. It's a great car but there are so many of them and the "chic car" reputation has driven the price down. If you replace the IMS with the IMS solution, you'll have a car you can beat on for 200K miles that will still look better and handle better than any of its contemporaries.


The final cars on my best performing list are the C5 Z06 (just now starting to reach the 20k mark), an '03-'04 Cobra terminator and a nice LS1 SS or ram air Trans Am. Those cars are starting to turn a corner value wise as well.


The two cars I am considering trading my ZR-1 for are a nice 944 turbo and a white '01 Z06. Honestly, I'd most likely do some more things to the ZR-1 though and sell it on bring a trailer or go the long sale route. I have a really nice '91 blk/blk with only 68k miles and so many of the normal ZR-1 things are already addressed.
