For 30K I wouldn't touch a new SS...

Used C6 and add a cam+bolt-ons. Add some nitrous if you want a fun track toy.

I second this. At those prices you could drop half that into your F-body and have a DD that would blow the doors of a new SS

Id go the sleeper route then.. Build a nice bottom end w/ good heads and a tame cam w/ boost... You can have a easy 500rwhp close to stock idle, nice toned exhaust, no blower whine. Nice sleeper car
