Back on track to the OPs question, I'd take a modified twin over a Stingray personally by virtue of it being more practical as a daily. More cabin space, back seats in a pinch and more storage for larger items. Also, I love the way a properly setup twin looks way more than the C7.
If I was going to spend $40k USD, converted to CAD is around 52.5k right now. Note that I searched nation wide and that matches the cheapest Stringray I could find in Canada although I'd have to go to Regina to get it.
Here is my 50k CAD build plan:
Used 2014 BRZ Limited with less than 50000kms - 20K
Wheels - 17x9 949 6UL for track and autocross use - 1.3k
Tires - 245/40r17 re71r or rival-s - 1k
Wheels - 17x8 whatevers for daily use as long as they fit over brakes - 0.8k
Tires - 225/45r17 UHP summer tires - .8k
Brakes - CSG spec Brembo GT - 3.2k
pads - Winmax W5 or equivalent for track - 0.6k
pads - Winmax W2 or equivalent for street - 0.4k
fluid - Torque RT700 or Castrol SRF - 0.1k
Coilovers - KWv3 or equivalent - 2.8k
Top hats - velox or something - 0.5k
RLCA - Velox or SPL - 0.8k
Alignment - -3 front, -2 rear - 0.2k
Headers - Ace 350 - 1.9k
Front pipe - JDL Ultraquiet - 0.6k
Catback - Perrin 2.5 resonated - 1.2k
FI - Jackson Racing SC C38 standard - 5.6k
Oil cooler - Jackson Racing - 1k
Tuning - ECUTek cable and license - 0.7k
Tune - Custom dyno tune - 1k
Clutch - Southbend Stage 2 daily - 1k
Total: 45.5k CAD. I would probably stop here and keep the remaining funds to work out issues as they appear. It's well known that the stock axles and transmission and engine bay heat management could be problems and there are solutions but they don't happen to everyone so why spend the money unless you have to.
Power goal is 280whp on 94 octane pump gas which is enough to rival domestic V8s power to weight ratio. The overall goal is to maintain a well balanced car that is perfectly streetable as a daily but can harass the likes of Corvettes and 911s and other really fast cars around the track given enough driver skill.
