Re: is every thing in our power train...
I don't claim to be a visionary, but I really liked the look of the coupe at the Autoshow back in 2004. When they came out with the roadster, I decided that I wanted one. It was re-living my first convertible, a 1974 TR6, that I drove year round until it salt rotted. I made up my mind to baby this, summers only, and keep it forever. (I also have a 1977 Goldwing, hence the moniker.) I bought the SRT6 because the price was so [relatively] low that I did not want to pass up the opportunity of owning low mileage and in the same color as my roadster. I bought it with only 8400 miles. In my mind the SRT6 is a real bargain of a super-car. The 2007 was a compromise with my 19-year old in lieu of letting him get a motorcycle -- he contribiuted his m/c money and I put in the rest. Cheap investment in keeping him alive.
Will they be worth a lot...doubtful. In 40 years it won't matter since I'm 57 now. But I think they will become more rare and like some limited production cars (Bricklin, DeLorean, etc) will have a small cult following that will keep the value reasonable. Besides, I just enjoy driving them. Are they perfect - no - biut never had a car that was. These are just as close as possible at an affordable price, along with a 2003 Audi A6 2.7T MT6 with 143k that I also intend to keep a long time. I have no need of buying something new just to have new car smell or to impress someone. I think it's more impressive to drive up in a 10+ year old sports car that LOOKS brand new. Car lovers know what that means and everybody, who consider cars just transportation, doesn't matter.
