Mustang: Shelby GT500

That's gotta cost more than 30 large.

I know. But it's only in my dreams that I'd have $30,000 to spend on a car, so in those same dreams I can probably find one for under $30,000 😉

the 72 Chevelle should be changed to 70, as that was the last really good year. 😛
the engines lost alot of HP after 70.

That depends on which engine you had. The true Chevelle 😀 in '72 had a 400 not a 350.

 

[Gillbot]

I payed $21K Brand new.

Well, I just got an Audi TT Quattro for $31k. And I think your list is a little off, because S4, M, Boxster, NSX, E-Class, and z06 all >$30k.

I'd post pics of my new TT, but it's winter here and it wouldn't look pretty now, so I'll have to wait until spring.

Ah well, close enough. Every car on the list has been requested, $30k is kinda arbitrary, you could probably find decent cars of the above for that much if they're used. I just wanted to make sure the Diablo's, Jag XJ220's and the like were excluded.

 

[Zenmervolt]

An old Pontica GTO. One of the first-generation GTO's with the big-block. 🙂 Mmmm, speed. 😀

[slikmunks]

with 30k....

being vague...

2nd gen, s5 rx7, with a cosmo 20b, huge streetport, huge turbo, fmic, big injectors, big radiator, full i/h/e, haltech, all the necessary gauges to keep an eye on everything, gp knightsports bodykit, tricked out suspension, 275's in the back, 255's in the front, recaros, roll bar, harness, ummm, i'm prob'ly missing stuff, but that's what i'd do... of course, i'm slightly biased towards rx7's..................

 

[ultimatebob]

I'd recommend an Audi A4, but since I own one, my opinion is probably biased 🙂

Of course, you could get 3 new Kia Rio's for this price.

 

[LAUST]

I think it's the ONLY cool car on the market 😉

 

[Nyical]

Hmmm..... New Mustang Mach1

 

[geno]

Silver paint is just ghey

BOOOOOOO!!!! Silver is the best color ever when it comes to 90% of cars.

Boooo 😛😉

 

[KokomoGST]

30k? Man, you can do a lot to a DSM with $30Gs!!! 😛😀
11 second car that can road race? Yum...

Surprised that the RX7 isn't up there, nor the Evolution. Most likely with 30k, I'd prolly take a 2000 S4 and bitch slap it with ~10k in mods. Style, comfort, and runs faster than poo after bad Mexican.

Hey, damn you. Leave my 1991 Festiva alone!

Besides, the container for the NOS would more than double the weight of the thing. You'd have to up the engine to 4 or 5 HP to do that.

 

[B00ne]

If u can get an original AC Cobra for 30000 take it immediately and then sell it immeadiately its worth at least like 200000....
