The C8 is one of my favorites, but I agree, a Miata could be more fun.  I drove a Ferrari Scuderia in Las Vegas (it was a present) and I wasn't really having much fun.  The CTS-V on COTA was pretty fun, but I know I wasn't really pushing any limits.

I think a C8 convertible would be under $100 K and probably is fun at times.

I got to take track laps at Mid Ohio in a Ferrari 430. I got teased about not pushing the car, but I knew it was past my limits.

Michigan history, 1932 : Fort Motor Company Introduces the V-8!
On March 9, 1932, Ford Motor Company introduced the production V-8 in its showrooms, and it was an instant success especially with police departments because of its price and speed.
The V-8 is considered one of Ford’s last great personal engineering triumphs: his “en block”, or one piece, V8 engine. The production was the largest commercially available V8 to the masses. Offered as an option to an improved 4-cylinder Model “B” engine in a low priced car, this compact V8 power plant, with its down draft carburettor, enabled 1932 Ford to outperform all other popular competitors and was conceived as years ahead of its time. The Ford flathead V8 is still heralded today as one of the first pioneers in ‘hot rod’ engines.
This flat head engine powered almost all larger Ford cars through the 1953 production year, and was produced until around 1970 by Ford licensees around the world, with the valve-in-block engine powering mostly commercial vehicles.

Back in 1969, I couldn't afford a Cobra so I put a 327 in a 1959 Austin Healey 100-6.

I'm sure tires are cheap
apparently smokin the rear tires isn't easy to do in the C8
not set up to power brake
best to be sliding the rear end sideways while moving
Oh well, I'll save money on tires
