And if Gen 6 is say 3500lbs - they could have the makings a car that will whip the Gen 5 Z/28.
At that point would you still pay 55-75k? Probably not. Another factor is what will the GT350R sell for?
IMO - this Z will be highly sought after. It will take at least 20 years if there is a gen 6 Z/28 that is NA.

There will always be faster cars. If you look at these from an investment standpoint, they have quite bit going for them. Relatively low production,track based no frills purpose built- just like the L72 and ZL1 first gens,(and they couldn't give those away either) They also share those three magical numbers, which links them forever in GM performance DNA. There has never been a factory Z28 with a 427, quite fitting for a curtain call that it goes out in a Camaro. GT350 R is a great car, but the woods are full of various collectable late model performance mustangs.
Good article, but they have one glaring omission-
