[QUOTE="REX-RACER, post: 11432304, member: 14222"] That's actually not the question I'm asking. I know it won't be a collectable like the '00R and it won't be as rare as the Boss 429 although the Boss 429 wasn't necessarily an instant collector car back in '69 & '70, we only see it's escalated value 40+ years later so who knows what position the 2013/14 GT500 will take? Keep in mind the GT500 is something of a low volume production by nature and I've not heard how many of the 2013/14 are slated to be built. I doubt there's going to be 10,000 of them in each model year so only time is gonna tell on this one and as some folks have pointed out, it's going to depend heavily on what comes next? That's the real question I'm asking is rather will the 2013/14 GT500 represent something of a high water mark no matter how many get built? I would caution against the false assumption of linear thinking that things can and will "always get better". That's the kind of thinking that brings about market bubbles. While I'd certainly like to see the ever increasing "MORE" how realistic is that given there may be outside forces that could eventually slow this whole thing down a bit? Take for example the weird 276 hp limit imposed on the JDM market back in the 80's & 90's or the 155mph "electronically limited" euro sedans due to tire technology. Sure these limits were external but that's kind of the point I'm making. I just think it's foolish to dismiss the notion that 650hp is a lot and it could be something of a last harrah for this particular engine platform. [/QUOTE]
