My old c5z is selling for 18k and it has 55k on the clock. I mean deals are out there.... IMO it's a wash between a c5z as it comes and a track prepped twin in terms of consumables. C5z parts are cheap and they're reliable out of the box. What would you really need to upgrade on a c5z besides safety? Whereas to seriously track a twin with some reliable and decent hp you're dropping coin. Depends on how far you take hp and how much you're really modifying the car.
I'd probably do C6 Z06 calipers for about $1200 with rotors. Definitely need to add a seat and improve cooling and get wheels. Otherwise, it's probably good to go. I think there are some other small things that need to be upgraded.

I've been looking. No real good deals I've come across. I'm still looking for a good C5
