1990 Porsche 944 TURBO S. I think they produced 50 of them for 1990 with left over 1989 parts. AND it was a great car at the time with pretty big tuning potential. There were not many cars that could easily get to 350hp(that weighed less than 3000#) at the time. ---

> [@rage87](#): > > Mazda FD RX-7: All of these damn things will eventually blow up and there won’t be any left at all. Some guys over at [rx7club.com](http://rx7club.com) pitched in and bought a spreadsheet from the DMV. Of the 15,000 or so sold in the US, 9800 are still registered. Not fanboy-ing, just something to think about. Back on topic though, definitely any car that’s recently been completely redesigned. STis for example could be great collector’s items in mint condition. ---

Performance will always be popular, as will style. Luxury, not so much. Economy, no. ---

While I was out riding earlier today this topic popped in my head. I thought about it pretty good and realized there’s only 2 modern vehicles that will become classics: Fox body 5.0 5-speed Buick T-Type/GN\* This is my reasoning. In order for a car to reach a status such as this it has to set a mark that really hasn’t been set before. The T-Type/GN\* was the fastest production car at the time, even out-pacing police interceptors and the Fox-body 5.0 became the standard to what we all judge a cars weight against. I know I’ve said many of times ‘can you beat a 5.0?’ and I’m sure many of you have, too. ---

At the Dunkin Donuts Snday night cruise, someone had a relatively clean 86 Chevy Celebrity :gotme: And it wasn’t just a regular car there for coffee, it was parked with the show cars and had its hood opened and window sticker.
