I'm in the "drive it, mod it, and don't worry about resale" camp. Seeing as I bought it 22 years ago for almost exactly 1/2 the original sticker price. It's been a lot of fun, but never a great investment. So what?
It makes sweet noise, and is fun to drive. But I do wish that a 500hp.version wouldn't cost over half the value of the car now.

I love those precious time capsules of former glory like the 67'/435hp cars, and the L88's, but owning one of those would be a burden, and the very value would be an impediment to having fun on the road.

I think that way too many of these C4-ZR-1's were made to ever be a rare collector's item in my lifetime. I'll just fully enjoy the experience, anonymity, and driving fun it has to offer.
