Which brand new performance car would you choose for under 50k?

2009 GT500 grabber orange with white stripes...the 2010 redesign hasn't completely won me over yet, but if they offer a green color of any kind in 2010 on the GT500 I would go that way...I loves me some green!

[USNjocson]

those are 335i's.... oke: but still sexy as hell.

i for one voted for the 135i, i already have a terminator and a nice TT bmw would be nice

What kind of poll is that? Obviously the majority will pick the GT500. :bash:

That's what I was thinking, this is a primarily a Ford site. And I still vote GT500 FTW!

GT500 all the way!!

BMW... the 335i is an AWESOME car, and would be a great DD. The handling and refinement of that car is unbelievable. And it looks like the price tag that it carries. The other cars IMO, unless you are a car nut, look like any other pony car IMO.

GT500 all day, all the way!!

If your brand loyal then I would agree. But I tend to think most people here are performance car enthusiast at heart and would choose the best car for the money. Honestly .... most here if they had sub 50k to spend would purchase a used C6 ZO6 before any other. In my opinion.... all the cars in the poll have great styling... especially with a low stance and aftermarket wheels. The GT500 is probably the better choice due to it being factory supercharged and easier to mod and not to mention being a potential collectors car in the future.

My latest Motor Trend says GM ditched the Z\28 so I'm assuming that means any SS as well due to their financial state. So I voted for the GT500. Otherwise it's very close between all of those. I love the look of the Challenger but Forced Induction FTW in my book!!

the new shelby looks sooo amazing this isnt even a hard choice. i was droolin at the auto show. honestly the beemer is the only other one on that list i would think about, but only if it was an M3

 

[97WHITEVENOM]

I think I would pick the gt500... maybe the camaro if it actually stays around MSRP.

Not for nothing but the new Nissan Z is tits! I love it... the longer hood and sleek roof and rear window remind me of the old 260 and 280 Zs.

 

[kuruma]

if I had 50k to spend I'd be buying an 06-07 C6 Z06 honestly.

If I had to pick between those I'd probably choose the 335xi

This man is on the ball. I'd choose a used z06 as well.

In fact I don't ever see the reason to buy a brand new car, when you can get a car thats a year or two old. Save tens of thousands and still basically have the same thing.

I know it's nice to know you are the first proud new owner, but all it gets you is more debt.

As far as this poll is concerned. GT500. bmw's are overpriced imo for what they offer.

 

[FATPAUL]

man thats hard i love the cobra but i do like the bmw

Yeah me too.:shrug:

 

[cold]

I know the gt500 is alot quicker but, the bmw is so sick with just rims and tint.

 

[streetassasin]

none of the above, the 09 LS3 Vette starts at $49k
