The REAL Orange County (OC), unlike the one in CA.

When I got my newer car the dealer was interested in getting the Z as part of the payoff but I just couldn't part with her. Most people won't understand the difference when the car is special to you. I would hate to sell it and find out it was destroyed.

IMO, there are certain cars that are mass-produced but still something special about them. I traded in my s2k for my first Z and while I have no regrets, I do miss the s2k.

20 years from now, you will esp. appreciate that you did not give her up.

*J*ap***V*et*

I definitely agree. If you can, keep them all. S2k would fetch a pretty penny today

Mine was an ap2 CR. It took me 1 year to track one down for the color and options that I wanted (had to have AC). It was a fun car for sure, but I've always wanted a Z. At that time, I wasn't able to afford taking on another car payment (the CR was basically 2 car payments as it was) and traded for a base 2007 350Z. If I could go back in time, I would have kept the s2k and went straight for a 370Z later down the road.

And yeah, looks like the s2k has a collector status. 2009 CR sold for over $200K at an auction in 04.2022:

Man, if I had the garage space. I would've kept the Z along with the SS.

There's a reason Z's in well condition really hold their value. In 10 to 20yrs when we start to see the price of these really go up for the more rare trim levels, I know I'm going to be kicking myself.

Hopefully, being this might be the last generation (6th) to get a V8 in a Camaro, they also will appreciate in value as time moves on.

So you didn't have to sell to get the Camaro? Even though you don't have the garage space, the SS should stay parked outside and the Z inside the garage.

I drool when looking at a 240Z/280Z. 20 years from now, the 370Z will no doubt still look damn good. Out of the Z line, I really think the 370Z is the best looking.

And I wouldn't worry about future Camaro's coming out with V8's. Everyone is trying to go electric. The Corvette is officially going electric and I'm sure others will follow:

Shoot man the Z, Vette and Red sport are all outside lol daily drivers ftw!

SteveVQ

I hear ya, but I really like my prized possessions to be garaged. Especially when they are just fun toys and not DD's. There was no way I could leave the SS outside and same goes for the Z. The paint is too perfect on both. I have serious OCD when it comes to the look of perfection when it comes to my toys.

Having any of them sit outside would give me serious anxiety.

I get it. I'm just like at the end of the day it's just a car. If I wanted to look at something and not enjoy it I would've spent the money on art hahahahahah!
