Unfortunately this applies to many corvettes. Although its a niche performance model, all or most corvettes are alike, and they make them in multiple thousands of units; Therefore they will depreciate or devalue, and often they will not appreciate. With the slight exception of special corvette models, but even with some of them they will depreciate and not gain value. You can still get a good deal on most Z06s, and 1990's ZR1 could still be had in the low teens.

A lot of this applies to Camaro as well, except of course the special edition models. My line of thinking is the condition of my cars. My high standards crave them to be in mint, like new condition. My greatest enjoyment of my girls is returning to them in an unblemished state, where I get to enjoy them by driving and waxing them. But each owner should use their car to their liking, as a car is a car whether they're driven or not.
