Default If you weren't into Corvettes, what other sports car would you own/mod?

For me it'd be a Porsche Boxster S hands down. I sold Porsches last summer and got to drive them all and learn about them all. The 987 Chassis Boxster (Cayman platform... they're the same car, 2005+) is hands down the most fun street car I've ever driven (yes more fun than the 997 911 twin turbo). Plus... it's about the only small car I can properly/comfortably fit it. W/ the seat all the way down and back I can fit w/o issue and still heel-toe downshift w/o getting into the steering wheel; Porsche really understands that driving position is everything. The best part of the car is the handling feel and road view... better than anything I've ever driven. Only small issue... they're kind of slow compared to a Corvette, but they're still very fun to drive.

A company called TPC makes a very nice looking single turbo that creates 420ish rwhp on 5.5lbs of boost w/ instant spool.

TPC Racing - Porsche Supercharger and Turbo Specialist - Rolex 24 Champion - Cayman Turbo, available now!

I'll take mine in Guard's Red w/ a single white center stripe (like the Panoz is done up) lowered on full polished CCW Classics Oh and w/ the Turbo Apparently w/ a built bottom-end (stronger rods and lower compression pistons) the turbo will support north of 500 rwhp w/ a little more boost.
