i agree that the vette is more expensive than a mustang, but i still think it is the best bang for the buck, b/c it is around 50k, but it still manages to compete with almost any supercar you can for for 5-6 times the price.
and as far as the m3, the vette costs less, and blows the m3 out of the water in almost every performance category
i think a vette will compete (although not win) with a mclaren in many categories, and for 10 times less
350Z and the Corvette are two bargains.
There is a lot of nice hardware being listed here but most of them are not two place sport cars.

seconded. The C6 Z51 performs almost as well as the current C5 ZO6. Makes me wonder how much better the C6 ZO6 will be.
i have test driven an Evo, not a STi yet, cuz im in the market for a car with similar aspects. and i can say that the Evo is like a jet with four wheels. Its not just fast, it looks bad ass too.
I guess we can add the 350z to this discussion, but the Evo and the STi (from seeing them at the track) smoke the 350z all day long, stock vs stock.

The STi is also like a jet with 4 wheels. Not very refined, perhaps a little more than the Evo though, but quick as hell.
Funny, the STi/Evo is only slightly slower than the C5 but half the cost and people are saying the C5 is the best bang for the buck? I don't think so. An extra $20k will get you what? A 1/2 second and a fewe mph in the 1/4 mile? Leather interior? That's pretty much it.
umm...were also talking about total performance, not just the 1/4. the 1/4 mile of a car does not and should not, imo, determine whether a car is better than another. I would take a corvette on road atlanta or infineon raceway [sears point] or laguna seca or willow springs over an STi or Evo any day.
EVO RS makes no sense to me. They basically strip down an evo.
Why not just buy a regular Evo and strip it down yourself when you go to the track? At least when you aren't on the track you can put the creature comforts back in.

Ford GT. Sure it's expensive, but it beats the crap out of nearly every other car on the market. I know a lot of you will disagree becuase it costs 4x an STI or evo, but for that money you get one of the fastest cars made.
