What car has offers the most performance for the money?

I will have to say the Corvette. $45K gets you 0-60 in 4 seconds.

sdiver68 · 01-02-2008, 05:19 PM

+1 on the 'Vette

mmm def · 01-02-2008, 06:36 PM

down4it · 01-02-2008, 06:39 PM

AWD Addict · 01-02-2008, 06:50 PM

WRX STI

$30K for 300hp and AWD. 300awhp with about $500 in mods.

OBI_agent · 01-02-2008, 07:03 PM

08+ Vett.. BEAST and for the money, NOTHING beats it.
a 335i w/ chip don't even come close to a stock Vett - and they are easy and cheap to mod too.

More like 1500$ in mods but yeah im gonna have to agree with you here. Either the STI or the EVO.

hj058 · 01-03-2008, 02:24 AM

GT-R!!
70k for twin turbo 480hp and look at the 0-60 time 3.3 seconds..amazing.....i say that is cheap

FirstClass · 01-03-2008, 08:08 AM

Spec Miata or pick up a used Elise/Exige and throw one of the many available FI options on it.

Comet · 01-03-2008, 08:13 AM

GT-R.. best bang for the buck

Cheap Performance almost comes off as an oxymoron :/

Cookiemonster · 01-03-2008, 11:59 AM

The Evo RS.....don't think its made anymore. 27K low thirteens 1/4mile, awd and handles with the best of them.......plus huge Mod market! No ridiculous spoiler!

Maestro · 01-03-2008, 12:05 PM

FORD claims the Shelby GT 500 Mustang has the highest HP/$ ratio of any car out there assuming you're not paying the high dealer mark ups of $10K to $15k that most are paying to get the car. They claim low 4's 0-60, and heard with a few mods it can do much better.

Crimson92 · 01-03-2008, 12:40 PM

350z is a good track car...not a straight line monster but it can hang

De catted UP and DP, and a flash.

Shouldn't be much more than $500.

WAYNEBO · 01-03-2008, 02:35 PM

I guess they failed to mention it's also the most weight/hp/$$ as well.

Should I say Nissan Skyline 0-60 in 3.3 seconds for $42K? You are mixing your cars up.

The Corvette LT1 is $47,000 with 0-60 in 5.3 seconds.
The Z06 is $72,000 with a much better 0-60.

I would say Nissan GTR.... just so I can have all my performance under warrenty. For less than a Z06 too
