This one solves the back seat issue. Bring the wife, kids and a bunch of friends.

Sounds like the Camaro is for you. The 4th Gen Fbodys would be ok and you would save a lot from your 30k

Not much back seat room in a Mustang and definitely none in the Z06. Caddy CTS-V would be a good choice as would the Pontiac G8 GT.

At least 5 CTS-Vs for less than $30k from stock to 520rwhp. The ones I see at the track hold their own pretty well.

4 seater? Ain't no friend of mine worth losing my Vette to, they can walk or drive their own car. UNLESS the three friends going for a ride along are strippers!

CTS is very nice especially the V version but then gas mileage goes down on that model.

Although a 2 seat limitation, the XLR is what I'm quite passionate about.

Hard to give anything with 4 doors the nod over a vette. I needed something 4 doors and wanted it to be fun so I went with this. At the end of they day the truck is fun but the vette is even more fun. After driving this for a few days the Vette feels like a go-cart.

Best part of driving a two-seater is that when multiple people need to go, you can always ride with them and save miles on your car.

LOL, this man speaks the truth
my alternative would be get another "regular" car, and with that budget, you can do both.
I dont even like a passenger in my vette

I had a SRT8 Charger before I got my Vette and those are a sweet car. If you want about the most bad *** 4-door in your budget, that would be the way to go. The G8 GXP is cool too, but it isn't very cool looking. The Charger SRT8 has attitude! Also, insurance is VERY cheap on the Charger SRT8.
