Looks like the Z06 owners will be happy.

That list lost all credibility when they put the VW Golf on it.

What a crock. It is way too early for anyone to know if those cars will ever be collectible or not. Too many variables come into play when you deal with collectability.

Of course, Z06 to be immediately replaced with C7 ZR1 or C8 Mid-engine or C8 Z06 on these types of lists. Take the Ford GT - sky rocketing prices over the years, now with the new one coming out, the market is already sagging. Only 25+ years will show us.

Yes, those are the "collectibles" for the day. Take it for what it is worth. Any of these lists are subjective anyway.

Most likely I'll be in the ground when my C7 is 'collectible' and gets restored! So in the meanwhile, will mod her, put on some miles and have some fun!

Id think that with the new Ford GT coming out the old ones would increase in value. The older GT's actually have an engine worth the sheet metal its surrounded in, the new FGT has a V6 from a truck with a couple turbos thrown at it. No thanks I'll take the old FGT any day of the week over the new one.

No it lost all credibility when they said this: "Z06 delivers faster lap times than 2014 Corvette ZR1 when fitted with the track-minded Z07 option package"

It has to be true...its in an article! It kind of reminds me of a Beanie Baby collector book my daughter had once. All BB's would be worth hundreds of dollars someday....yea right, never happened.

Didn't know a Corvette ZR1 was on the assembly line in 2014
Yup noticed that accurate statement too

Good grief. This isn't even relevant. The C12 Will be out before these are collectables. And only then out you have a fully optioned out model with 5000 miles.

The ZR-1 would've made any "future collectible" list in 1990. It never lived upto the hype obviously. Nobody really knows.

My guess is that no modern 'Vette is going to be collectible with current production numbers. They would have to produce a unique model (like GM did with the Z/28) to have a chance.

Cars were meant to be driven. Drive it and enjoy it. By the time the C7 is collectable there may be no cars and every car will be a collector item
