Other sports cars that you can drive an wont lose value?

Never satisfied..... what are other sports car options that will maintain there value? i.e. fully depreciated and have some demand?

Please point me to a thread if we have already been through this!

Pre 89 911s have been the same price for years (excluding the special stuff RS,S etc.). I could have bought a 78 SC in 96, for ~ $12K, driven it 50K miles and sold it today for the same. What other cars could I do that with today? I want to keep the discussion <$30K cars if possible.

Probably a:

308/328 Ferrari ?
NSX
Datsun Z car
E30 M3
95/96 e36 m3?????
early Lotus Esprit?
964 RSA
964

What else do you guys think?

I understand the maintainance can be a killer but thats part of the fun for me I just want to get somthing and enjoy it for 5 years and not have it worth half. I would really like a Lotus Elise but those babies are headed south, I worry an F355 Ferrari is not done yet (cant really afford that anyway). Same for an E46 M3, I think those will slide under $20 K in the next 5 years.
