I can't believe how good that Z/28 looks. I really dislike the new gen Camaro in general but this one is blowing my mind. Loving the subtle fender flares with the front and rear lip spoilers. I think that sets this one apart from all the others including the ZL1 in terms of appearance. Love all the performance stuff, the rawness and that 6 speed manual gearbox. Interior is hurting but that's par for the course so no points deducted. I'm not even a big V8 muscle car kind of guy at all either. Would I spend $75k on it? Maybe. If I combined the performance figures with the exclusivity and possible future collector car I may convince myself.
While I can appreciate the bang for buck and overall performance of the GTR(because it's fucking crazy how good it is) it doesn't do a thing for me at all and I can't see myself ever buying one. On the other side, I'm a big Porsche fanboy and whenever I consider making a completely irresponsible purchase it almost always involves a Porsche. Having said that though, the Z/28 is really doing it for me right now and I'm super stoked like a little kid wanting a sling shot or bb gun.

I still like the overall GTR package better... surprising ending though. That thing must be a beast through the corners.

As awesome of a setup as the Z28 may be, I just couldn't justify spending $75k on a car that ugly.

I highly doubt the Z28 is in the same league of exclusivity.

Plymouth Prowler is another one from recent years that hold their value inexplicably well.
If you can find a Solstice GXP Coupe they won't be cheap
Viper ACR probably won't drop much and might go up in a few years, I have a a feeling the new car might even be helping it a little.
Not saying the car won't depreciate but white rocket is saying it won't get hit with the normal depreciation most cars today face.

^^bingo. Although it will depreciate, I just don't see it worth $30K in a couple years based on production numbers alone.
