Best car in price range (game)

Lets play, best/ most fun car in the price range that money can buy you, lets do 10-50k, so please give me ideas on what you think is the best bang for the buck for a car enthusiast.

Just trying to help a friends consider some fun cars at various price ranges and I want to know what everyone else thinks is a car worth test driving and checking out to compare.

10k - G35 Coupe
20k - 335i coupe
30k - STI
40k - mustang GT
50k - M3/ Final edition Evo X

There are a stupid number of variables involved here, including what the car will need to be used for, how reliable it needs to be, will the owner DIY at all, etc etc etc.

40k-50k - Corvette C6 Z06
7.0L V8 you can fix with a hammer 505hp
Wrecking many vehicles around tracks twice its price range.
Sometimes you can get lucky and find a low km one with a Superchager strapped to it like this that has to be running ~750hp. Change the oil on time and drive the piss out of it and it will never break.

Personal preferences are welcome which is why I need a list of cars in the price range so my buddies can get out there and see what they like.

The average car enthusiast is willing to spend a little more money for an exciting car, so ignore maintenance, DIY and all that fun stuff.

sadly, these days people could care less about the old "built not bought" saying. so many guys out there dont even know how to change a tire or even check the oil on their cars.

10-50k?

- Alpina B12 6.0
- Cadillac XLR-V
- Audi A8L W12

off the top of my head. The Caddy would probably be the most reliable, but who cares.

I sit in the drivers seat push a couple buttons and it tells me how much to add

literally spent 10 min trying to find the dipstick the first time. This coming from a guy who built a ford powered jeep with chevy axles.

People are going to laugh their asses off at me when I fix this thing up:








Going to buy a spare Rampage soon and use this beater to haul parts to fix the other one up!!!


Oh man this is the type of car SAAB owners look at and go "WTF was he thinking?"

G35 isn't a "fun" car. It's an overweight, "luxurious" 350z. If you want the fun car out of the pair, the Nissan is the one to choose.

Either way, much better cars to pick from with the used market at that price point.
