Do you think the 370Z is a future classic?

Providing that the car is in great shape, only 6mt 370Z's will be classics.

Of course auto's will still be a classic, just not as desired.

Here's why, in 20-30 years there will be no mass produced 3 pedal manual trans cars made, plus the Z34 was the 1st 3 pedal manual trans car with SRM. Also this will be the last Z to use Nissan's famous naturally aspirated VQ engine and if that's not a classic, I don't know what is.

I have to agree, the manual will be more desirable just like collector cars are today. Classic Mustangs are worth a lot more with sticks than autos....same with Corvettes.

If the z35 sets a trend in reduced displacement / turbo, then I would say definitely. The 370z will be the last of an era when Nissan slowly increased the displacement and each revision could be numbered using that statistic. Beginning with the z35, if they followed the 40 year international naming convention the newer model would have a lower number.

Nothing else about the 370z feels particularly special to me though. There is less of a difference between the 350z and 370z than the two revisions of the 300zx (z31/z32), just significantly lower production numbers.
