    Agree, i saw online where they were taking a Bentley that was 200,000 and CAd CTS-V 65,000. Showing what the difference is in quality. Even though they roughly had the same horsepower.

    I voted for the 350z

    But also like the G37.

    Also look into Lotus's!!! Or the Cadi CTS -V

    The Genesis is pretty sweet too.

    Some Stuff...
    I'd have to say the Mustang...

    - Best dollar for the car in comparison to most

    - Cheapest insurance out of most of these cars...

    - Most universal "performance" car out there.. You'll never have trouble finding parts or mods for it

    - The amount of performance parts you can add to that car is just ridiculous..

    - Will do exactly what you want it to do.. Break the tires loose and show boat a bit..

    A word of advice if I may.. Yes the NEW 5.0 is great.. Def. first pick outa the mustang line up.. However.. If shes looking to have a BEAST then the smartest move would be to get a nice used car (07-09) for less with the 4.6 in it. This way you pay less for the car.. you still have a bit of a warranty.. AND your already set up to add things to it.. Like new heads, rods, headers, S/C, etc. etc.

    The amount of money she'd save on a used car can go straight towards mods.. Plus you'll get a warranty you wont destroy by doing all the upgrades* Wouldn't be worth it on a brand new car.. I can go on and on about this.. but I figured this might open up the door a bit more..

    Smartest pick of the group IMO would be an 07-09 4.6 Mustang.. great potential for a cheap price.. Just find sum old granny that bought it and never drove it.

    Hope this helps...~Zoggs

    Personally.. Id get a 09 Subi hatch'd WRX STI BUT Thats just me..

    The driveshaft failure has been cured. Tremec (the manual transmission builder for the SS) made some output shafts that were not up to strength. We had one failure at my Chevy dealer, and GM sent us a new transmission over night. I have personally seen very few issues with the new Camaro and most of our customers seem to really like the car. I still prefer the new 5.0 Mustang, but I would not worry about the quality of the Camaro. At least for now, from my experience, it seems like a pretty well built car. JMO.

    Ford if bringing back the 5.0L mustang next year, and it's going to completely destroy this segment. With a good driver, it can apparently hunt Vettes:

    http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/track-test-2011-mustang-v8-wbrembo-brakes/

    Which it has no business doing considering it costs almost half as much.

    I am strongly considering picking one of them up myself after a couple of years so I can make sure the design doesn't have any major flaws.



    The new Camaro is too heavy, and the 5.0L will match the 6.2L for power (possibly exceed it) in a lighter car. The new 5.0 is going to be a MONSTER.

    350z for sure. a buddy of mine had it and it was pretty damn fast. the only reason he sold it was because he could only drive it for about 2-3 months outta the year.
