First of all whoever said the best car for the price isn't a Subaru WRX STi is a moron. $35,100. A true all wheel drive car, 12.8 quarter mile, turbo charged and a rally car to boot. By true all wheel drive I mean this, most cars you see that have a 4WD or an AWD are usually not a true all wheel drive car. Most cars claiming the sort have a 3 wheel slip differential, which means to those who don't know, you only have 3 wheels in true rotation with acceleration with a 4th wheel rotating but not with torque.
Secondly you can't put the Hennessey Viper on that list, for the sole fact that it is a prototype car and has to be specially made. Thats like putting the Linginfelter Corvette on the list. Which happens to be twin turboed and by his last specs over 1100 horsepower with a quarter mile of just over 7 seconds.
Another thing, you put down the C6 Z06 Corvette as an option which isn't even a car. The C6 which is the successor to the C5 corvette is a base model corvette with the LS2 engine in it, a 6.0 liter engine with 400 bhps. Not too shabby if I may say so myself, the Z06 is the highest level of Corvette with the LS7 engine at 505 bhphs and runs the quarter mile in 11.7.
The biggest difference between the Corvette Z06 and the Viper SRT-10 is that the corvette has a much faster 0-60 time but the Viper has a lot higher high end speed topping out at about 230 mph to the Corvette's 190 mph. Not to meantion the price range, the Z06 is fully loaded at about 61,000$ with the Viper running at 78,000$ for the RT model, their base.
Needless to say I picked the 69' GTO, true american muscle. 396 bhps and perhaps the meanest sounding car on the list. Though I'd take the 1970 455 cu-in engine with the premium package pushing 500 bhps with a little over 480 lbs of torque, but the 396 hps with the 438 lbs of torque would suffice for me
