I agree with you there, we do live in an age where Honda can get $30K for a special edition Civic, so everything is fucked lol. :rofl
To me the Redline cars are more of a collector/exclusive vehicle. Each one is different and they are offered through only one Chevrolet dealer. I often think of the RLMS Camaros as a modern day Yenko (I am probably wrong thinking that), maybe some day they will be worth millions but its a risky venture if you buy one just to put away and never drive it, in hopes that it will be worth a fortune someday.
I can agree with you though, but in that price range I feel there are so many other options.
