I like this. I would go for a GS so you have the looks of a Z06 with the LS3 but you would be way over budget for the mods. CTS-V is another good pick.

I'm with you on this. Awesome looking cars. I'd also consider a Project 818.

50k you could probably buy that sweet Trans Am from the guy down the street!



Sportscar 08+ vette (GS has my vote)
Otherwise V

That's it.


Knowing you, maybe stick to awd and well under 400hp

Think I might be the only one for it so far, but I'd like to buy a 2012 Camaro ZL1. I know it's $56,000 or so, but if I put $50k down I'd only have $6,000 left in payments.
