Though I think you're right about 10yrs, 20+yrs? Maybe not. Here's why:

Extremely rare, with only 440 retail units being made in '14.
Fastest track times for any sub $100k car.
Last car to use legendary LS7, likely the last "big" engine made by GM (think LS6 back in 1970).
First and only regular production car to ever use the MultiMatic DSSV dampers (only other car was the Aston Martin One-77 @ $1.5mil).
Largest brakes ever fitted to a ponycar, and only application or carbon ceramic rotors in same.
These along with many other unique features (thinner rear glass!) will contribute to the *potential* value of the car in the future. Many cars, including the early 70's Mopar Hemi's, Superbirds, and even the '87 Buick GNX ($11k more than regular GN, and 547 made) were sold off at discount.
