best performance bang for you buck would be a new Z06, which can be bought for as low as $63K and this comes with a 5yr/100K GM warranty. The reason i know so much about this is my father just got one of these last week.

C6 Z06, GTR, M5, C63, 6GT3 or 6GT2, 08 Viper. Lots available for 70K these days. If you can buy a clean CLK Black for 70K, that would be a great find right now.
