Sports car for $40k or less

^^ 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.

It isn't as bad as some make it out to be, most of the problem is are people modifying without know what they are doing. Either engine built by a reputable person can last quite a while. With a 20b it is much easier to attain big numbers even on a mild build.

C6 GS add full exhuast, clutch, sticky tires, supercharger. 650rwhp and reliable. If you get a manual coupe, you get a dry sump with forged crank and the z06 differential w/ 31 spline.

If you want to track it, stay N/A with a big cam. A a 100-150 shot for street use. I did this,so I could autocross mine.

I'll take an ls3 over an ls7 any day for reliability.

LS7 is also reliable. Don't start the overblown valve issue again

Buy a beater race car for $5-10k or a new racing kart/safety gear and use the rest of the money to fund years of actual racing.

You, my friend have the right idea. Although I think he wants this thing to be street-able.

I'd pick a C6Z.
Keep the rwhp a touch above 500 and you've got a fun toy.

This is not a bad proposition!

C6GS fo sho, and use the leftover money for some wheels and a H/C setup. You can easily get into 10-11 cars with sub 40k for right at $30k these days.
