I don't think you can get an HC for $50K just yet. So from the list I'd take a 13/14 GT500. A CTSV is a better choice than a ZL1 and can easily be had in coupe/sedan/wagon versions for less than $50K.

Your mom
GT500. Way more reliable than the kitty.

But, I would do something like a nice '18 auto s550 premium GT with a hellion twin kit or a VMP. Most likely, I would go with the VMP.

Always wanted to own a Viper but will be buying another 13/14 GT500 at some point in the future.

About what I paid for mine with 6K. With tax you'd be over $60K.

13/14 GT500's can be had in the high $40K's to low $50K's. 5th gen ZL1's are not impressive, probably worth treefiddy. 03/04 Cobras are Mecca.
No sales tax in AZ on private party sales but tags would be about $1,100 on it for the first year. $800ish the next

After owning the HC, I think I would put a down payment on a new CTS-V. I went with the HC originally because the new Vs are just too high and finding a used one for a reasonable price was near impossible.

THe HC is balls fast, but there is just something awesome about a car that is fast, luxurious, and handles like it's on rails. After spending a lot of time in my wife's 2015 Buick (It has a sports package and big V6), I am really appreciating the handling and luxury stuff.

No vette for me for now. I still have to haul the kids around and at this point, the cost of multiple vehicles when dealing with $70-100k cars is just getting stupid, unless you're actually rich.

If your looking for a fun car have you considered an older muscle car? You have the cobra that's relatively newer. Might see some appreciation on it as well depending on rarity.
