Did you even read the thread title?

expensive indeed, but its a cornering machine like the Lotus Elise

:D

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO FQ400

2.0L I-4 Turbo
405hp, 355lb-ft
0-60mph: 3.5 seconds
topspeed: over 175mph(282km/h)

the car weighs approx 3,250+lbs and still a bit faster than the Z06 for 0-60mph...with a lot less hp and torque.

the point is...the GT-R is heavier, but with a lot more power/torque, I think it is reasonable to achive the same 0-60mph as the Evo.

You are comparing awd to rwd..
its easier to get a good 0-60 time in a awd car since its easier to get traction

Neon AC-R

for the love of god timpo, please dont turn this into another gt-r vs corvette thread

im so sick of reading the shit you post.

back on topic

i would say the last gen cobra. plenty of power, and i just love hearing super chargers whining

Werd, I'll believe the GTR > C5/C6 platform the day the GTR wins a big event outside of Japan, like Le Man 24hrs.

Agree!

Sport Bikes

Good riddens, obviously a Mazdaspeed3.
It's not that fast relatively, but you're paying a lot less compared to the supercars. And you said ratio.

^ +1.

dL

anything powered by a LSx

the last gen 03/04 cobra had an IRS as opposed to the shitty live axle so it can actually turn

last gen cobras are quite sideways happy :D

the #1 japanophile bashes japan's only supercar until the new GT-R? Yes it has "only" 290hp or so, but it keeps up with cars with over 400hp. It's all in its power/weight ratio and distribution. Sure you have a point, but I'm of the opinion that you get a lot of car in the NSX, much more than an hp number represents.

ditto on fox-body mustangs in response to thread. Off the top of my head I would've said Z06 or SRT4.

im gonna have to go with fox-body even though i don't like them doller / performance unmatchable

How is the fox body better than a 1g awd DSM? I know foxes are fast and cheap, but

Talons are usually half the price 2k-4k as apposed to 5k-8k

Talons are lighter (not by much but I've weighed both one after an other)

Talons are AWD

Talons can squeeze an extra 100hp out for close to $1000

Talons handle better


I havn't run a DSM for a few years now cuz they're unreliable and such, but even stock for stock, Price to Performance I don't know how any other car can compare when you can pick up a good runner for $3k. Add $100 for a boost controller, boost gauge, re-wired fuel pump and an open downpipe and you're putting down over 200hp to the ground through AWD

In before 'crankwalk'

Hummmmmm Camaro SS is Bangin' for buck these days!

t-rex or any sport bikes lol

Mustangs ain't shit, dsms for true street performance. You can get one that will trap 135mph with AWD, hit mid 10's on all seasons for 10k price of the car included. Lets see a rustang do that with some all seasons.

gtr and z06

Lotus Elise/Exige. OR

All for under 10k:
1.Corvette C5
2.BMW M3 E36
3.Audi S4 B5
4.Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo
5.Porsche 968

arn't we talking about price to performance ratio here?

Did anyone forget the Aerial Atom?

Ariel Atom is pretty much a track car. I think the only way you can get it legally on the road in Canada is if you import it in pieces and put it together as a kit car.

Maybe. But the DSM won't take that power level for long until something goes boom.
