If you couldn’t buy a C7 (or any Corvette), what would you get?

Is your question referring to a vehicle.of lesser value due to financial reasons?
If yes, probably a used BMW X5M, S63 AMG, or AWD Porsche.
Not much else interests me at or below that price line.

I'd just keep my 328 GTB Ferrari and drive it daily instead of splitting the duties with the C7.

A friend has a couple Vipers and I think he'd sell me one if I wanted it. Used, but completely known and documented entities since new.

I would seriously consider a new Camaro SS or Zl1 if I could swing that. If money we an issue with getting the Vette.

I would probably bite the bullet and go with a Tesla S or the new coupe if it grabs me. Either that, or move into a 911. I also like the Lexus LC 500. With no Vette option I would probably steer more towards the luxury end performance models.

maybe a jag f, 911, or even a newer lex coupe. I once was very close to getting a '92-3 rs America, still like the car but a lot less cost back in '01 than now.
