Good for a track car and early turbo spool, but I think it makes them a pig in traffic with high idle and the noise etc.. :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeport definitely is over kill for street but it sounds amazing and yes crazy on fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted September 3, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 3, 2021 Haha, yeah I watched that the other day. Does make me wonder if certain people are manipulating values of specific cars. I have heard of that going on with the GTR market in Japan for example. Worth watching..

Auction houses influencing the market and fanning speculation? Sounds like Hagerty is guilty.... they are putting out some very good quality YouTube content of late, I think this would definitely qualify as fanning speculation...

For me, the video shows that any kind of bubble is often potentially grounded in some truths. But it is also based on a bunch of assumptions about the future. I do think the true Unicorns, like 400r and Z-Tune, Spirit R or Type RZ and the older 70s models like the 2000gt and 432-R and early Savanna Rotary coupes etc.. will be a safe bet.. but will all the lower spec models perform the same? Interesting they quoted Spirit R at $170k in future. But people have already been asking that for them on CarSales in last 6 months. And SP version sold at auction for similar not long ago. I also got a bit irked when they referred to 432R as a Datsun. Not a Nissan Fairlady Z432-R.. JDM-TOY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a case for the FD2 being a future collectors car, last NA, rev to 9k civic type r. I think if you’re looking at Honda’s in that price range you’d have to consider the FK8 civic type r and dc2 ITR. I think the DC2 Integra Type R would be the best collectors car. All these cars are in the 50k bracket. Though in terms of price growth the DC5 ITR/S is still very cheap and worth a look. Albeit it is not quite as lauded as the DC2.
