CS isn't going to make the same mistake twice. The difference between collectible cars today and collectible cars of yesteryear is that today, you pay for it's collectible potential up font.

I understand the concept...I own #4 of 250....is it a limted run of cars or build as many as GT500s? I don't see much collectibility in them.

I agree somewhat but it WILL be collectible although it will never see the appreciation of your #4. I believe it was the same concept back in 65 though.. the GT350 was twice the price of the base model. So $60K in 65 dollars would have been closer to $20K which is my point. CS wants more of the future collectible money up front. That being said, this thread is about dream cars and not it's collectible potential. The two have nothing in common.

Understood...I think I have seen the S197 platform being offered in 82 different flavors. If its yer dream car....that ain't a bad thing.

I think my dream car will be along the lines of the RCR Super Lite Coupe (w/ dry sumped LS7 & a Ricardo Transaxle) for about the same dollars.
