DRIVE IT!!!! These cars were meant to be driven! Whats the point of having it, if you cannot enjoy it. I drive all five of my cars equally, there not collectors by anymeans, but they are all nice and I enjoy everyone of them. You can't take it with you when you die, so enjoy it while you are here on earth.

I would not mod or drive that car regularly. It's a future collectors item.
If you want a driver, find a more common LS1 car, IMO.

I kinda have to agree. I've always got my eye out for a clean WS6 Formula and they seem to be pretty few and far between. If you have the means to keep it as a future investment, I would recommend doing so.

Taking a women out in public will not decrease her condition. Daily driving a car will put it at much greater risk for damage, destruction, and just wear and tear from weather exposure.

Who are you saving the car for? They next guy? Drive it and enjoy it. My car only comes out on nice days. I don't put alot of miles on it but I still drive it and MOD it. I'm not saving it for the next guy, he can get his own.

yes your car is kinda rare, but I dont think it is going to be worth a whole lot in the future. With the trend in cars being more and more about economy, car manufactures having trouble, general gas concerns, etc.. I dont think our cars are going to be worth a whole lot down the road.
Drive the car like it was built for. If it isn't your daily driver then it wont get destroyed.

As an owner of a "1 in 4" car, and as the only thing really making your car rare being a paint colour (this is how we spell "color" in Canada), I would say I wouldn't treat is special at all. I just don't believe this generation of automobile will ever reach "collector status", just my opinion of course... Enjoy it, drive it!
