Good advice. The Tbirds and Gt40s come to mind as far as the hype reversing itself.

They all reverse themself, except maybe VERY limited production cars, like the Enzo Ferrari.
Remember these:
Mazda Miata
Corvette ZR1
Dodge Prowler
PT Cruiser
Honda S2000
Hummer H2
Corvette Z06 (The old one)
Everyone of those was a huge hype at first, sold way over sticker price.......
Then the production caught up, and everyone who had one,
lost their shirt in resale value.
In 99 I bought a 1990 ZR1 from a guy who paid $97K for his new Corvette - car #356.
Price was: Sticker + dealer markup + luxury tax + Sales Tax.
9 years later, I paid him $27K with only 7000 miles on it.
Sold that monstrosity a few years later...
The Shelbys are VERY nice, but in 4 years - They are just going to be another used car.
Hold it for 25 years and MAYBE get your investment back.
Only if they don't sell a million of them. And you NEVER drive it.
This is Just my opinion, there is definitely some value to being the first one out enjoying one of those.
But for $20k over sticker??? "I work way too hard for my money"
I'll be the one buying YOURS in 3 years.
So don't drive it in the rain.
Saw a 2007 GT-H a few days ago - VERY COOL!!!
