just out of couriosity .... would you pic the 2010 GT500 or the 2009 GT500 KR?
Which brand new performance car would you choose for under 50k?
- Thread starter wma8706
- Start date
If it were 09, it would be the challenger hands down..
BUT, the 2010 Shelby is ****ING GORGEOUS.. BIG IMPROVEMENTS. 540 HORSE
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

imo they're all nice cars and do well for what they're built for. But I'm a mustang guy and I'd pick the GT500. When it comes to modding, it's hard to beat the "bang for the buck" factor of the GT500. Plus I saw one at the local dealership selling for $47k.
No question I would get the GT500.
what about a base model 08-09 ls3 corvette they've been selling here for around 40K new
Bingo. In a PERFORMANCE car category, the LS3 OUTPERFORMS all of the cars listed in the poll for under 50k. Of course some of the other cars have advantages (more seating is all I can really think of.) But this thread is about performance out of the box. If I had to do it again I would buy the same car.
I don't remember saying that 12s in the 1/4 were something so amazing that it would give you instantaneous wood :dw:. The 335i is not a replacement for brute force that a Cobra, Challenger, or Camaro give you. Its an alternative driving vehicle. I would however, beg to differ that most people on this site would be happy with the performance potential of the 335i considering its not rare to get over 400rwhp with just a tune/intake/exhaust/downpipes. You wouldn't have to spend a huge amount on it either. You'd be looking at M3 performance with a couple grand or so in mods. It depends on the deals and company you go with. It's a great balance of luxury and speed.
By the way OP I'd suggest looking into a used C6 Z06. They can be had for under $50k with decent milage. That would be my choice if you didn't want to go the luxury route. Definately my choice for a Performance car under $50K.

I already voted and posted earlier on this thread and two things came to mind that I couldn't resist commenting on:
1-To the guy that posted the vid on the new V-Max...good grief I luv that machine! Been watchin it for a long time and can't wait to see one in person. I. Will. Own. One.
2-Isn't it nice that we've FINALLY got some nice cars to chose from!??! Seriously! There is obviously a need for all the Hyundai's/Kias/Mazda's/Honda/Toyota's etc out there but shiznitty it's about dang time the big three from Detroit brought the smack down back! Bout time!

Man, thats a hard decision...I deff know the Camaro would be last lol.
If I had 50K saved up just for the purpose of buying a vehicle I wouldn't take any of them. I would buy myself a really nice 1970 Chevelle SS and another Harley Davidson probably a Street Bob.
If I really have to pick out of the list my vote goes to BMW.
