Default I pose a question for you guys/girls...

I'm having an argument down here, would like your opinions. Name me a car that is FASTER and has as many, or more, options than c5 vette, non z06, around $27k....and cars such as a civic hatch with $20k invested in it doesn't count, had to be a car you can buy at a dealership.

Only thing I could come up with was a cobra, which is supercharged and doesn't get 28mpg, but I think it's faster, not sure...

New or used price? I'm assuming used, as your benchmark is a c5 vette.

Also, faster in what way? In the 1/4? On the autox course? On a full road course?

Only thing I can think of that comes close would be an STi or Evo.

Sti/Evo run low 13s/high 12s, same as a regular C5.






Edit: Used E46 M3 (Just had to throw it in there. )

Just as fast, with about the same options and price?

'03-'04 Cobra (faster)
Evo RS (not quite as fast, but close)
STI (not quite as fast, but close)
VW R32 (not quite as fast)
GTO (little over 30k)
LS1 Camaro's and Firebirds (not quite as fast)
