I mean, the Lambo Reventon was similar, and so was the Nismo Juke that had the GTR engine. I favor cars that were meant to be driven, not stashed away as "investment vehicles."
Obvious collectors car or not, if it somehow managed to end up in my garage, it would be driven. Not as a daily, but it would see the road where it's born to be, not in a clean room.

Iunno, just seems like a waste of a paint scheme. Unless you saw the piping on the rims, from afar, you would think the car was just another generic black vette.

That would be the same as any car? If you didn't see the Nismo badging, you would think it was just a base model Z with a crappy kit and stolen Corvette wheels... So I still think any true vette lover would know, just like any true Z lover knows the difference. And if you don't recognize a beautiful car when you see one, you can

Um, it's a lot easier to notice that a Nismo Z is not a standard Z. The body kit sticks out a country mile, and yes I sensed the troll/sarcasm in your post.

But srsface, only car nuts will know what the car is, and they won't know it from afar.

Honestly, I like it that way. I don't want fucknuts coming up to my car asking "what is it??" only the intelligent need apply.

If I was overpaying for a collector's edition paint color, I'd want knowledgable car guys who are maybe 50 feet away to tell the difference between it and a base model black vette with vinyl-striped rims.

I don't care what other people think anyways, I'll know. And that's all that matters.
