sports car with most bang for the buck?

[RedPickle]

Dodge Caravan, pretty roomy. That will be your best for banging.

i think a vette beats the ford gt in almost every category

first you say a vette can beat Stang, then an M3, then a McLaren F1, and now a GT?
are you really that stupid or you just pretending to be so you get some much-needed attention? oh wait, the latter case is equally stupid too.

the vette does beat a stang, and an m3. it is only beat by a small amount by the mclaren, and ford GT. the small difference hardly justifies the price differences (3x for a ford gt, and 10x for a mclaren

Yeah, but it's a total dyno queen...find me a race video that DOESN'T involve the Supra starting from a roll

Still great cars. But heavy. You don't want to turn.

I can't find it now, but I have a clip (done by Top Gear? Car+Driver? Don't remember) with a viper/vette/cobra shootout. The 'vette wins every category except straight drag race (viper takes that), Cobra is last, and the 'vette is the cheapest of the bunch.

It's not in the top ten... That list is not updated. The Carrera GT and the Ford GT is missing. It will probably be pushed down even more if all the cars were tested on a dry track.

I'm not arguing the fact that the Corvette isnt a bang for the buck... because that it is... and that's why I see maybe 20 corvettes a day.

 

[Kroze]

Still great cars. But heavy. You don't want to turn.

Check out ]WOTM.com

it's a 9.7 second 1/4 mile supra with full interior, sound system, dvd player, etc...

STREET LEGAL. over 1000 hp. Turbo Hayabusa killer. 3700lbs.

Also check out Mike Carlin's Supra. his is also 1000horses. TO4R.com

also STREET LEGAL.

Too heavy and you can't turn with it you said???

Ever see the video "Getaway In Stockholm 2"

20 minutes straight they run through stockholm with the Supra Twin Turbo through twist and turns.

Awesome videos.

The Carrera GT was 1:19.8. The Ford GT was 1:21.9.

The Corvette C6 they tested the beat to @%#@$# beforehand and by the time Stig tested it, had a nearly dead clutch and 4 bald tires. It should have done better than it did.

The Noble M400 has finished its run with the Stig, and the review will be released for the autumn. Word is it beat everything on the list so far, and, of course, costs about $55k less than the Ford GT.

well .. an SRT4 costs like 20,000 or so .... sure a Vette would kill the hell out of it. But bang for the buck ... I'm thinkin Dodge SRT 4

if you're only interested in straight line speed, a vette is a good choice. If you're going to be doing any twisties, a vette or stang will leave you planted in a ditch or something. Pick up a WRX STI or Lancer Evo.

You think the vette can't go around corners? Do you have sh!t for brains?

Eh, I dunno, that doesn't look like your average Corvette. Around these parts though I see nothing but white trash driving Corvettes. In fact, I went to a Chevrolet dealer one time and all the people there looked like rednecks, and the gift shop had all kinds of redneck trinkets for sale.

you should really watch the top gear review, and really pay attention to the build quality.

I've watched a couple Top Gear episodes and while I find them entertaining, I find them also INCREDIBLY anti-american. I swear if you took an M3 and rebadged it under a domestic nameplate they'd still find something to bash it about.

 

[compuwiz1]

I'd have to say the SVT Cobra, with 390hp/390fp torque, but if you're young, the insurance cost will quickly extinguish the value.
