What I like with corvettes is that you have so many options when your engine goes kaboom at the track. With Corvettes you can buy junkyard iron truck engines for less than $2000 or spend a fortune on expensive racing engines.
The bad options for M96 start at $10k. I don't think you can even rebuild an M96 in your garage for much less than $10k!
With LSx all you need is youtube and Autozone.
But Corvettes do sound awful, it's like they never rev. They just make more sound the more throttle you give them. Like a Harley vs a Japanese sport bike.

I crossed shopped C3s when I went looking for my first "fun" car, but ended up with the 928 because of the back seats for the kids and the performance was better. Corvettes across all the more recent generations are such good HP / dollar propositions. I just don't know where I'd put a second fun car, and I'm not ditching the 996 yet.
Also, every late model Vette I see being driven around here, the guy is always 100 years old. So, I've got some years before I'm allowed to have one. ha ha.
