That's not a problem on an LS7 unless it's 60k hard miles, which they probably aren't.

If I were in the market for toys, I would love this global economic apocalypse. Should last for a while though. Depending on how things go maybe next year I'll do something stupid. Then again, there's lots of actual investments going for pennies on the dollar in some cases and that's where the big-boy money is going. I should try to tag along.

Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable. Certainly you can get great examples for $25k. While I could do it for a lot less if I had it to do all over again, I'm probably into my LSx C3 for over $30k, but there isn't much I didn't modify or change altogether.  Ah well, such is life.

Anyway, my list. Budget $30k.
The kit cars, all from FFR, roughly in order of interest.
GTM (challenging to do for $30k~, but possible)
Type 65 Coupe
Mk III
Another frankenstein
240z with 2JZGTE (probably could do decent job for around $20k)
Evo IX Cornfed style - problem is I'm a grown up now
Ducati 1198S - that's a lot of class for $20k
Triumph Speed Triple - few bikes say broken beer bottle in the face better
