Regardless of your feelings on the matter, a stock Nismo is a liability just like 99.9% of all cars. There is some extra value there compared to a non-Nismo Z, especially to certain buyers. But the Nismo version appreciating in value is a laughable thought.
You say this now. But in 30 or so years. You might be thinking differently. Look at the 240, some of the muscle cars. Cars that was under $5K new. You can't touch for 4 times that now. Chellvelle, which would you want the 396 or the 427? Road Runner, which would you pick. The 383, the 440, or the Hemi? Who would thought about Lionel trains.
