I'd have to split it. Invest like $10k into finishing my z28, and take the rest to buy a used LS3 C6 and drop a tvs on it for a fun cruiser.

I'd take the supercharger off of my V and put twin turbos with a fast intake on it and let lingenfelter tune it again.

It depends on wether or not you need it as a daily. If it's gonna be a toy I'd get a 67-69 camaro z maybe even a pro touring setup one or a 67-69 Vette. If you wanna daily it or even drive it alot I would get a newer c6 zo6 or grandsport

track car,daily, dual purpose?
STi swap in the forester and you'd still have 35k easy to play with for something else. hell, i figured what i have into my legacy swap after parting the wrx out and lets say you'd have trouble buying a new ball bearing precision 7675 for it so i can't complain.
C6Z or cayman/ 911 would probably get my nod as well. give more info on what you are looking for other than price....

i think something unique and fun cts-v wagon with the stick .

But realistically its a tough choice , you could get a c6z ,viper, or even go old cars that are modded or all original old cars too .

The v wagon would be cool too , and it doesn't take much money to make it even faster.

For a sports car I would get a 08-10 c6 ls3 and put on headers, small cam, blower, methanol and clutch. Drive anywhere, road race, drag race, anything.

I said Z06 vette, however, after thinking, and seeing some real world races, i would go LS3 Vette also, with some mods. and keep the rest.

WOW good picks out there.

This would be a weekend car only. Basically just a fun ride to have, no real dedicated track or auto-x car.

IF all goes well with my new position I'll be looking within the next 6 months.

If it were a car I'd buy a new used CTS-V 4Dr / Used C6 LS3 n boost it or do a pro touring musle car. If if were a truck it would be a new 2500 CCSB D-Max Denali
