Wholeheartedly agree Corvettes are awesome. Would love to own one as well!
If you got 50k-70k and don't mind the C4 you can get best of both worlds, a race car for the street and highly collectable. I did a note about them previously.

It’s that $50-$70k I’m very unlikely to do at least anytime soon. 😂 I’m much more likely to try and convince someone just to let me borrow / track race something I wouldn’t own when you start talking those prices. 😎 I would also love to drive the electric hybrid given how they put that together. Also another I probably wouldn’t want to buy.
C3 body style is chefs kiss visually speaking though.
I'm in the same boat.
That said people might be surprised at race car prices, just you won't be taking them on the road though.
This might be more up your alley.

If memory serves, SOME of the race cars can be moded to be street legal (in a way that can be undone “easily” too if needed.)
It’s been a few years since I spent a lot of time thinking about these things. I don’t think the Le Mans Corvettes were in the easy category but some of the others are. OR there’s also the pace cars.
(Without going into details: I’ve spent a fair amount of time at events with Corvettes.)
