I HATE the way the GT500 and 370Z look, the Chally is as big as my truck, and the BMW just isn't my style. Of the cars in the poll, I voted Camaro. BUT, if I really had $50k to blow on a car, it would be an SRT-10 Viper, hands down.

I'd go with the Challenger in a hearbeat.

the 2010 Mustang/Shelby GT500 looks like ass, the Camaro is a mulletville, trailer trash abomination creation of garbage, and i dont care for bmw or nissan.

Aesthetically, the Challenger is the best looking brand new American Muscle car on the market.

Why are LS3 vettes not on the poll? I've seen plenty of brand new ones going for $48k

BTW did a little searching on craigslist

I found multiple C6-Z06s for under $50k. Hell 3 of them were under $45k and one was $38k with 36k miles and those miles were freeway commuting miles, that's pretty much nothing at all.

You can get that under 50k? Shit I always thought it was around 55 - 60k. If I could get that then definitely the S5. It's basically a faster, more beautiful 335i...

As for faster, I wouldn't say it is. BMW edges it out in this Fifth Gear test.

That is a stock 335i as well. Not tuned. As for the S5's looks, its a gorgeous car. The 2010 RS5 is going to be way better though. It's rumored to have a V8 with ~450hp. Then it'll be in the 2010 M3 CSL category.

You cant get a c6Z for under $50k brand new, thats what the title says, brand new, thats why I chose the ls3 c6

Yes it is we all know how accurate Fifth gear is.


In all these tests the S5 was fastest (straight line and around the track) and comparison test winner.

I'd choose the GT500 vert. I'd love to have that to cruise around in. I have my '03 if I want to drive a really modded one around.
