I just bought a Dodge SRT-4 two weeks ago. This thing is pretty quick. ....Although he tried, he did not even manage to lose me. This SRT-4 is nice.
I wish I had a restored 1987 buick grand natiional gnx.
gm called this car project vader.
the car darth vader would drive.
3.8 sfi turbo intercooled v6 276 hp - 360lbs of tourque at 3000 rpm.
0 to 60 4.7 seconds
with simple mod's 400 hp and 0 to 60 under 4 seconds was possible.
at one time the 87 buick gn was the fastest stock mass produced 1/4 mile car you could buy in the US.
Sadly, here in the US anyway, the new, inexpensive pocket rocket segment is all but gone.
I'd go for the WRX to get through the section as quickly as possible, but not necessarily for the most fun drive.
For current not-so-expensive cars, the V6 Mustang (2011 model year specifically) would probably be the thrill ride, 300+ horsepower for <$22k (and 29 MPG!)
In the used category, any 90's-era BMW 3-series would work nicely..
Have not broken off any new Camaros and Mustangs yet I'm sure it wont be a problem.
There is nothing better than a honda civic with a turbo as you are getting 30+mpg and eat any corvette
There is no way that thing will see 30mpg and that's being generous. For it being a RWD and 3.7L, its basically just short of a big block with two cylinders cut off.
Also all of the domestics DO NOT get anything better than 30MPG and this is a fact, especially if they have a v8. Unless it is at a stand still or rolling downhill while in neutral. These are physics and you cannot break them or at least surpass them.
