I'll start with a 1996 N Reg Caterham Super Seven 1.6 litre, £11,750 on Autotrader, it's getting close but not quite close enough, 0-60 in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 110 .. I'm still looking!
edit: Lotus Esprit Turbo, £7995, reputed top track speed of over 180mph, 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, the only problem is it's I believe a 2.2 litre engine, still half of that of the Corvette though, and with a marked improvement of over half a second in acceleration and it leaves your 'bus' in the dust top speed wise.
edit again: perhaps someone else on here could find a suitable contender?
