In that case IDK if the IS-F will be around in 2028 if 20 years are indicator of a car being a classic. And for the RC-F, you know what of $#%& Lexus will be releasing in 2035? LOL. I guess the question is this, would you rather have a sick 2JZ build over the RC-F right now?

I didn't mean production run, I meant maintained and operational after 20 years. A classic in my mind can by a 1996 Civic if it's well maintained. Its in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone wants a 20 year old Porsche. Some folks would pay top dollar for a 1994 240, because it invokes memories. An E36 M3 still gets my attention and the last one rolled off the line in 99-2000.
Here's the deal...I'm old enough to remember a 1996 Supra and I'm able to afford an RC-F. I guess the answer would be to get BOTH!!! Collecting 20 year old cars is not something the younger, less financially stable crowd does. When you combine wealth and fond memories, it's hard to pinpoint what a person considers a classic and willing to pay for. That said, there are many cars I admired during the 80s and 90s, that would get my attention if they were well maintain and on the road.
