I will have to respectfully disagree with your bolded choices. I am dot busting on the quality or performance of the cars, I just do not see the soulful love for those rides. There are some racers that have done well a few of those cars but even a proven solid platform, the RX-7, never really took hold. Also look at the M3’s and M5’s (gotta like those) - they have been around for a while but never took a hold in the car meets or shows.
that is:
NOT BUSTING on the quality…
I do not like it Sam, I am
sorry to say.
I do not like it
any which way.
I do not like it here or there.
I would not like it anywhere.
On concrete or macadam.
Or stuck in a traffic jam.
I think the design is a bit of a sham.
So sorry to say this Sam, I am.
Dude, you’re crazy. Either that, or you’re going to the wrong shows and meets. M3s are popular, as are RX-7s, 3000GT VR4s, 350Zs, S2000, etc. Lots of soulful love for these cars. And let’s not forget the king of them all, the MKIV Toyota Supra. In fact, I’d put the Supra up as a true example of a collector car, and one that will probably stand the test of time. In 50 years, you’ll see 1993.5-98 Supras being auctioned off for $100K at Barrett-Jackson.
I don’t think so.
Most of the gatherings I go to have more pre 50’s cars than the total number of “ricers” but even at the Fast and Furious type gatherings the number of M3’s, RX-7’s, 3000GT VR4’s, and 350Z’s seem to be almost nonexistent in a sea of economy cars with huge things bolted all over the body.
Come to think of it, AUTOCROSS meets seem to have a very strong M3 following - so that’s one, but in all fairness, the import cruisin’ scene has not had the time to develop and mature. In time I’m sure more will get board with just appearance mods and move more toward those solid platforms that respond well to modification. If the WRX invasion at the track is an indication it may not take all that long.
Believe me! About these types of things I am always right - now about the stuff that really matters such as market forecasting… :dubious:
