Build a car right and keep it as is for a while, look at the camaro 6, hellcat, c7z, c6 z06. Built right and stayed unchaged for long periods, then higher more powerful trims came out but those cars mentioned were just as good for the early adopters as the late model years.

Gt500s changed a ton during the s197 era, and s550 GTs changed asap.
That's the risk of being an early adopter. I get what you are saying and that makes sense too. I don't think its as big of a deal if it comes during a MCE or facelift ala 18 GT.

Just look around here though, several members have had multiple 6th gens already for various reasons. IIRC, hotlap had a grey one before he got his hotwheels. Fraxum has had a couple of 6th gens. I wonder how many may have upgraded in 19 or 20 if there had been a power bump instead of just cosmetic changes and the A10. I also wonder how many are leased vs purchased. For the lease customers, what incentive is it to get another one if it's for the most part exactly the same as it was 3 years ago. Hell cars used to change sheetmetal and engines almost every year back in the day.
