Actually I loved my first new car, a 1967 Corvair. Could get those with 180 hp turbocharged engines and it weighed only ~2500 lbs. Once I install wider 14 inch wheels and those Continental 714 tires before Plus 1 and “Low Profile” were words it could run with the best of the Porsche’s “of the day.”
Porsche obviously knows sports cars way better than Chevy.

A '67 Corvair today is not worth $5K. A '67 911S is $225K. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...s/2178377.html

Was buying the Corvair to have fun and drive-not as an investment. Bought my C7 for the same reason. In fact would have even smarter to buy a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 for ~$25,000. One sold for $10,000,000!
Yep the wife can pass her Gucci bag on to the Grandkids, my C7 will be sold so I can buy a C8!
