Head to your neighborhood library and read the Oct'06 copy of Road & Track.
That will give you a bunch to pick from, including some you can afford,
and lots that I can't.
If you don't need headroom or a backseat, Corvette wins on performance/price
and Ferrari wins on style+performance IMHO.

The new Camaro???!!! Will be a 'nicer car' than a Mustang?
So you have insider info that GM has changed its views regarding how much
fit and finish they need in it, compared to the last issue?

-- As someone already posted, the Charger SRT-8, as well as its 6.1
liter SRT siblings Magnum, 300 and the lesser versions (and less
expensive) with the regular 5.7 liter Hemi.
-- Pontiac GTO (disregard those who criticize its mild-mannered looks;
this car flat out rocks!)
-- Subaru WRX STi
-- Mitsubishi EVO (There are RS IX and MR -- version starting at around
30K and running up to around $35K)
-- Honda S2000 (though not as fast as a Mustang GT it's an excellent
performance car)
-- Honda Element EX-P (just kidding)

I'm kinda partial to the Bugatti Veyron 16.... they're only rated at 1001
HP, so I'm holding out for something with a little more "zip".

If image isn't that important then the Honda Accord EX V6 (244hp 211ftlb
torque) gives more than reasonable performance and handling with much better
fit and finish than the Mustang. Probably have to go to a BMW 330 or M3 for
a better balanced Sedan. You can get pretty much the same thing in an Acura
for 20% more price.

My wife has a BMW 330 with a manual and she loves it. It's faster than
my 93 GT.

Thanks guy for all the ideas and if you know of more list them too gonna
test drive them all, (except the $250K one).
I's still driving the 93 musting with 8# boost keene bell, tons of torque,
can get rubber in 1,2 and 3 gear,
but it dosent like the Texas summertime, likes to ping a lot, 160k miles.
So I need a replacement. The 06 Mustang seems OK but I dont like the bog
when starting, like they have a torque limiter on all the time, much less
fun, but safer, and the pipes are loud, and not all that classie inside.
The 87 was tuned up hot too, both the 87 and 93 were ex cop cars bought them
at the auction, cheap.
