Right now is the absolute golden age of performance cars in my opinion. It is headed down strictly because of government regulations. Go out and buy the best car you can now and hang onto it!

All that being said, if you live at High Altitude like I do forced induction is practically a necessity. Going up in the hills here to 10,000 feet and above cars get very anemic without it.
it is just another change . just like the air to water cooled . gives me hope that are car values may rise some day (may be sooner than you would think). performance N/A cars are becoming a thing of the past .
