I don't know what to get
So I have about 25k for a new car, and I'm not sure what to get. I want a car that will perform well on the drag strip and on the track. I've been looking at American cars such as the 02 camaro ss/trans am ws6, the ls2 gto or the ls6/ls2 cts-v and imports like the 370z, s2000, evo, e46 m3.
Any suggestions? I know that this forum is for American cars but please try not to be biased

I had similar goals and decided to build my own. My tube chassis is stronger and wont rust out in 20 years turning your investment into scrap. 400 HP LS1 in a 2300 lb car is hard to beat.

25k for a 'new' car, would get you a slightly used Mustang GT 5.0. One of my coworkers bought a stripped down one, rubber steering wheel, cloth seats, no extra frills but with Brembo brakes! Go figure. I have the '08 GT and no comparisson, the 5.0 runs hard

I have my track prepped C5 Z06 that has everything anyone would need for a road course and it's priced at $19,000. It's not street legal though. But I have my 28ft enclosed trailer to go with it as a total package for $27k total. You won't find a better price out there on a fast car.

If I had $25k to play with I'd get rid of my American Iron Camaro and buy an ST2 corvette or a TA2/SCCA GTA tube frame stock car/Camaro.

Here is my C5 Z06 if you happen to be interested in a track car. Has everything you would need and more... fast and reliable.
