SS = So Sexy
Collectibility is always a crap shoot but the prettier it
is, the more limited the production, the better the odds.
Don't expect "cloning" one to bring the value up from
a "base model", it'll only make collector types pissed.
Don't bother trying to understand, it's not all about
rationality.
Me, I bought on looks. Just had to have it. I knew I
could get the same performance by modding myself
but there was something about the whole package.
I'm not in it as an investment.
When you're buying, "no difference, same performance"
(give or take). When you're selling, "collectible, limited
production, check out the hood scoop". Dig it?

I bought my SS as appose to an Z28 because I wanted a SS, not a Z28. I know a Z28 has the same performance numbers, for the most part. And I started seeing that the price of Z28 are just as high as a SS, almost.

I bought my SS because of the appearance. SS's stand out from far away, where you can't tell a Z from a V6.
Yeah, you pay more money, but by the time you pay for the parts, why not buy a real SS?
I think cloning is for posers, and shouldn't be discussed on a forum like this, as it cheapens it as well.
