Ya I knew this would happen. I posted how IROCS that don't have resale worth a **** are outselling the awesome-selling rx7, and now I'm posting the wrong kind or rx7. Ok

 

Several $3000 - $4000 sticker price Camaros have sold for over 1.1 million dollars. Who cares how rare it was, or what options it had or didn't have. The rarest Mazda ever built, no matter how long from now, will never reach that kind of appreciation, EVER. Those same 1.1 million dollar Camaros were selling for only a few hundred dollars back in the late 70s early 80s. 15 years can make a BIG difference. And remember, this is America, and a domestic branded product, built in the States or Canada, is still an American car and can and often will appreciate with age - especially so with an enthusiasts car. Imports (other than high end European exotics) just don't do that here.

History tends to repeat itself, so why couldn't a 3rd gen car do the same? As you said many are piles of junk on borrowed time. That should wittle down the "dime a dozen" to a select few.

The only RX-7 that will ever see decent resale values are the 3rd gens, as all the earlier cars are crap, plain and simple. Add in the fact that even the best built turbo 13b rarely sees over 60K miles and many of those cars will disappear into crushed piles. They will never exceed original sticker price, even factoring in inflation.

I can build a Camaro solely of aftermarket parts. Not a single OEM part, stamping, frame, or any other piece. I can start with absolutely no shell, no VIN, and build a complete car. Can you? Will you ever?

Seeking sympathy for your RX-7 admiration on a Camaro site is just plain foolish...

 

I'd appriciate it if you lay off the ignorance comments, cause you don't know me like that pal. When it comes down to it, you don't know what in the hell you are talking about either. As far as not appriciating what you call a "fast" car, you're right, I DON'T. As a matter of fact, I don't really appriciate ANY car that originated from overseas. Maybe I'm just too old fashioned for a 25 year old. So personally, you can take your precious RX 7, and stick it up your ***.

 

well, now that we have run around the block a few times, lets get back to what the post was initially asking. I think that his rx7 option would be a better option as opposed to his 3rd gen option. just my opinion. besides, in the end i highly doubt he is thinking about how he wants to buy a car for the long term investment of it. buy whats fun. a second gen rx7 for the most part is cheap to get, just as a 3rd gen camaro of equal quality.

 

Well now that you are finished making excuses as to why Camaro's aren't going to appreciate..

 

i see the maturity of this forum is not always up to the advanced tech standards. some people with their irocs.

 

12b rotary with a big as sequintial twin turbo setup.i've seen'em kick the poo outta vettes.they just start slow.rotaries suck without turbo's.

 

Don't forget that a car isn't worth ****, just what someone will pay for it. Why do you think they can sell the new shelby's for 20k over MSRP? I would never buy a 40k car for 60k, but im not everyone.

 

awww...someone get some sand in their thong? i will lay off the ignorance comments when you bring a gun to the gun fight. i dont have to know you to remark on your flawed comments and unsubstantiated claims. i obviously know nothing about anything by your way of thinking. believe me, your approval really means diddly squat to me My RX7 would probably boogity over every car in this thread that i've seen. straight line anyways, cornering it may need some help.

i dont want anyone taking this the wrong way, i am by no means saying the resale value for RX7 is amazing or they are super cars, and i am DEFINATELY not saying rotaries are worth anything more then a limp dick and sour creme.

how the hell did we even get into this debate over what will sell for what in years to come!? someone threw this whole **** way off topic because we were talking about the aftermarket suspension support for both and actually having a decent discussion that may have amounted to something then twinkle toes here brings his awesome arguement to the table.

 

LMAO! the least you could have done is compared apples to apples....the damn 1st FB rx7 has more miles than all the damn f-bodies combined!! and were talking 3rd gens here, not 1st gens which are highly saught after and the 454 1st gen?! cmon, that wasnt even a factory option if i recall correctly.. ill show you an FD w/ LS1 if you wanna make it "fair"...which none that you have listed have sold, and are only getting about 1/2 of what the owners want for them. and look well maintained and very low miles....while on the other hand, the apples of a different shape and color are way high mileage, ragedy, beat cars. atleast make it a fair game if your going to do this pricing thing. i wouldnt make a list of ragged out, rear ended 3rd gens and procede to post up immaculate hi-po FD RX7's.

 

I am happy someone seems to level head this one out and get this back on topic. my dad's rx7($6500 total build) hands my camaro($6200) its ***, just my .02
