Bingo... They'll all be "classic", but that's just a generic term for an old car that didn't suck when it was new. A '66 Riviera is a classic, a '75 Coupe DeVille is a classic, and a '65 Mustang is a classic. And anything that they build today that makes most people smile (for what it is) will be called "classic" someday. But COLLECTIBILITY, VALUE, those terms can laugh at the word "classic" sometimes. The early VW Beetles are considered to be extremely HYPER classic, an icon, but you can still pick up a nicely restored one for peanuts, it's not worth much, but very very "classic". The ZR1 argument made me laugh, has anybody seen how cheap used ZR1's are these days (relatively speaking)?? They sold for around 70-flippin-grand in the early 90's, and you can get one with less than 30K on the odometer today for less than 30K of TODAY'S dollars. When you factor inflation and lost potential on the cash invested, that "classic" was a flat-out foul investment looking at it today. Maybe that will turn around in the future, but I doubt it. A new Z06 will put a total whoopin on a ZR1, so it'll go down in history as a classic and as an oddity, but collectibility will never equal that of an old '67 427 tri-power, or a '57 Fuelie, cars that were more than just performers, but beautiful works of ART. And that's a big point, art. Why do collectors pay over 1 million dollars for a classic Ferrari, or Duesenburg, or Mercedes? It's not how "classic" it is, it's that the car stands by itself as fine art. The newer cars just don't seem to have the "soul" and "art" the oldies did. Their primitive engineering and artistic styling gave them personality, and it's that personality that gives them a God-like status. The newer cars have less and less personality, less art. They don't shake, they don't vibrate, they don't have the rough-edge to them mechanically, and they don't have the fine-art to them aesthetically. They do everything perfectly, computerized, smooth and insulated from the road, but...... That's why Porsche and Ferrari continues to build future collectibles, they haven't lost the art, or the soul and personality and feeling of the machine around you (except that sell-out Porsche SUV, but I digress). Drive one, you'll see 1st-hand how lifeless and robotic our new American cars have gotten. Although they ARE getting better, and the new Mustang is a nice step back to art and style in a Mustang!!
