If its going to be a toy I'd go for the Z06. Power, sound and feel will be much more visceral and toy-like

Plus cost will be lower than your target leaving you free cash for headers, exhaust and a tune which should put you just shy of 500rwhp

 

i know i was trying recently to buy some paint to match sport seats that are in PR. so not gonna happen. like 300 per seat to ship. killed what would've been a good deal.
