Fastest car under $20k, $25k, $30k, and $35k

[JohnCU]

name the fastest car for each of these budgets, go!

 

[multiband8303]

SRT4.....for all.

 

[vi edit]

Define fast.

0-60, 1/4, passing speed acceleration? There's different types of "fast". AWD cars typically launch better and have 0-60 times but will typically be slower in 1/4 speeds.

I would probably say:

Under 20k = SRT-4
Under 25k(ok 25,250) = Mustang GT
Under 30K = Probably the Mustang still
Under 35k = WRX Sti

 

[AdamK47]

All GTO

 

[thirdeye]

Under 30k: Evo RS, hands down.
Under 35k: STI/Evo IX (both are too close in performance)

I disagree. A new SRT4 will school a beatup STi

 

[mattocs]

STI ftw.

Too bad there's no such thing as a new SRT4. Plus the only place the SRT4 stands a chance is the highway.

 

[Canai]

Well instead of beat up sti, why not just wrx? Still plenty quick.

Well, formerly. I wonder what the new version of the SRT4 will be like (The caliber version). The SRT4 also wins in the wallet.

is an STi a WRX?

yeah, just with some engine and suspension and other tweaks, and a much bigger spoiler.

Sort of. STi is just a designation for Subaru's performance line. They have STi versions of the WRX and the Forrester(although not in the US).

Kind of like the "M" line for BMW. They have the M3, M5, M6, ect.

yes.its the apex wrx.
the nilla wrx doesnt pack as much punch, but imo, is still an impressive machine.

Please please please can we make this fastest around a track rather than fastest 0-60?

And by budget, do you mean MSRP?

That would then be "What's the quickest", not "fastest".

Why do people always look at 0-60 times?

0-100 FTW.
