- C6Z
- GT500
- C7
- Hellcat (I think they are getting close to $40k)
- M3
- 996 turbo
- lots of other choices...
I'm biased, but the C6Z is a stupid fun toy.
Sports car for $40k or less

C5Z for 20k and a truck and trailer with the other 20k.
GT500 and hellcat are not a sports cars. LOL

3100lb car with that kind of power is a lot of fun. Especially a full bolt-on H/C/I car! My buddies car is a little over 600 RWHP and driving that car at WOT was a religious experience for me.
66 Fairlane GTA with a big cube small block. Or a 2008-2013 M3 with a supercharger.
Yes sir! Mine is/was (sold it earlier this year) a h/c/i setup, doesn't quite make 600rwhp, but it moves out pretty well. I know there are way faster setups out there, but the C6Z really is a great all-around package.
Meh, maybe so, maybe not.
There is no real comparison, so much fun driving a C6Z. My buddies car had a very extreme setup. The biggest cam you could get from LG and heads done by local shop. I personally wouldn't have driven around on that stick, way too violent on the valvetrain. He did hit slightly north of 600, but he traded some drivability and reliability to do it. In fact this cam ate a lifter last year, wiped out bearings and he now has a tall deck 468.
I always had a secret desire for a Porsche 928S/GTS.
Those suckers have a mean V8 growl, and they are just plain cool.

I already suggested a C5Z + truck & trailer.
But what about a kit car? Maybe a Factory 5 Cobra with coyote running gear?

Another vote for a C6Z.
What are the 13/14 GT500's typically going for nowadays? Mid to high 40's?

Another vote for c6z. I just picked up a z06 Carbon a couple weeks ago after going through the same debate.
'65-66 Mustang coupe with Street-Or-Track coil overs all around, 3-link rear, big brakes, rack and pinion, 17" wheels, beefy T5 (Astro) behind a stout stroked small block, and sticky tires.
That might be fun.

x10!
R32 or R33 will be my next toy without a doubt.
Forgot to mention there is nothing quite like the sound of a large single turbo straight six at 7k rpm. OMG. Love love love.
Most 13/14s I have seen have been in the mid/upper 40s. Though I have seen one 13/14 in low 40s, but it also had 75K miles.
I was going to suggest a Cobra kit car.
If I had the cash laying around I would get a 3rd gen rx7 with a 20b in it. 500-600 hp on low boost and much more reliable than the 2 rotor. The market value on them has risen 100% in the last few years and I regret selling mine.
^^ Achilles heel has always been that soft, fragile 13b. I dont know much about the 20b but if is as improved as you say it is, i agree that would be one FUN sumbitch.
Neighbor a few houses down from me has a maroon factory five with 427w in it. I would love one of these cars someday, but I wouldn't build one, instead opt to buy one some other poor sap has spent a small fortune building.
