but would you really pay $775,000 dollars for that car? I like camaros, but personally I would rather spend the money on a ferrari, and Im not even that big of a fan of them... I just would never spend that much money on a car... Unless it was a Lingenfelter Corvette

And here's the major point of the entire conversation: Go buy your Ferrari, go buy your 427 and drop it in the Camaro. See how it sells. For one, most people (especially now adays) don't want gas guzzlers if it's "just another Camaro." A Ferrari, while yes being nice, depreciates. You're buying a Camaro that is an investment, and will never depreciate in value... the longer you keep it, the more rare it is and the more $$$ it's worth. That ZL1 will EASILLY go over a million dollars. The big thing though also is that to the average joe shmo (basically all of us) that's a big price and it's unheard of. These ZL1's and other ultra rare cars are exchanged privately, without the public knowing. You're talking about an ultra-elite group of classic car owners that recognize and understand the value of these cars. You also have to realize too, that with less than 30 of the ZL1's remaining and with how ultra rare they are, the rich people that really want one (Like Jay Leno, but richer) will throw money at these guys to try and get them to sell it, and even then they won't. The ONLY thing you can buy that'd be comparable to this ZL1 is a house, but even then the house isn't going to go up in price like the ZL1 will. Oh, and as for the Ligenfelter Corvette... still has nothing on the ZL1.

Edit: Oh, and one last thing, the ebay auction is just an advertising stunt. Look at all the publicity it's getting, and then they just have to have a buddy be the "highest bidder" and tada, they keep the car, and pay $40 insertion fee from Ebay, and they have all this practically free advertising.

ebay also charges a percentage of the selling fee my van cost me over $100 to sell and it sold for under $1000.Adam anyone can make a clone of a car, but the clone is worth far less to a smart person, teh stupid one spends the money on the fake, it's just like a painting by Monet is worth more than the same one by Joe.

ain't that the truth...


and its that kind of attitude about things that makes some one "the most stupid person in the world". Just because you have no appreciation for anything older than you, that car is incredibly rare, and original, and does entail a high price for that.

I wouldn't spend $1 million on a car. You could make a much better investment with the money. Put it in the bank, and buy a $30,000 Cobra. Much quicker, much nicer.

a $30,000 cobra is no where near as fast (keep in mind the mustang is a slap in the face to the name cobra, a real cobra is a shelby not a ford)a real cobra runs around $300,000 and is very fast (almost scary fast)

the other thing with that is, if you buy a car as an investment you'll lose money most of the time, it's like playing the stock market very few go up constantly

An 03+ Cobra with 1-2k in mods could push 450-500rwhp. That's nice for ~$32k, and it looks good while doing it. Shelby Cobra's are ugly for 300k. Keep in mind this is an opinion thing. Don't let your blood boil Arch.

just like the reference to a 12 bolt is a GM, not a Moser, Strange, etc?
