IMO, not many of the newer, higher volume specialty cars will increase in value, and if they do it will be looooooong from now. Look at S197 GT500 values versus original MSRPs.
Too many are produced, plus far too many of them are garage queens. That means an ample supply down the road to choose from if you want one, just pick your color and options. It's not like in the '60s when nobody thought their new '67 GT350 would ever be worth anything so they drove the snot out of them. The specialty cars will always command a premium over a lesser model on a given chassis as you would expect given the difference in initial cost, but appreciation will be fickle at best. Of the S550 GT350s I'd guess that the R would fare much better, but I wouldn't bet my 401k on it.
If you want an investment, there are far better options than late model cars....
