Well, Hagerty Insurance’s CEO, McKeel Hagerty, was recently asked which vehicles he would rank as the future’s most collectible. His list includes:

1. Dodge Viper
2. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
3. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
4. Ford GT
5. Porsche Carrera GT

When asked why he ranked the ZR1, Hagerty responded, “this is the Corvette that elevated the model into a new class of world class sports cars. Nowhere has this news been more prominently displayed than on the recent ZR1, the most powerful Corvette to date. And unlike the big block screamers of the 1960s, like the L88, the ZR1 is totally trackable and downright docile.”

Would you classify the ZR1 as an all-time collectible? Tell us your prize list.
