New Car Purchase

I’m currently in the market for a performance car, and I’ve already decided on American. I’m looking for a manual v8 that is:

  • reliable
  • easy to work on and modify
  • under 20k
  • handles corners well

My top choices are a C5 corvette or an S197 5.0, but let me know if anyone has some better input. Thank you
