    AWD is a huge advantage but if the Super Snake can pull anything close to a 10 second 1/4 mile time, then the GT-R will have huge competition.

    Chad, are we looking at cars right off the dealer lot with any dealer options or high performance cars that you can put money into to put them into the same price bracket and performance bracket? There are differences between the prices of the three on topic now with room for potential.

    I assumed we were talking about stock cars, cause if we are talking modified cars then you can buy a $15k Evo VIII, dump $85K into it and outperform all the cars in this thread(until it breaks).

    The crazy thing is, I would rather spend $85K on a GT-R and do bolt-ons than have that built Evo.

    With 40k, you can make well into the 600+ Reliably w/ out opening the motor.

    New Mustang wouldnt be able to hang stock vs. stock. I know this for a fact, because I ran a 2011 Mustang w/ Exhaust against my 1990 MK3 7M BPU @ 7psi and we were neck and neck.

    $3K Prelude + K20/24 + Built + PeakBoost + CRV AWD 6spd tranny + 200 shot

    It'd be my choice, anyways.

    The CTS-V is a pretty good car but with the likes of the three forementioned cars, it's gonna be tough to compare the CTS.

    Those things are nice as hell! I would LOVE to have one of those as a DD and a GTR as a racecar.

    True but doubt it will keep up either either of the three cars mentioned.

    If we really wanna compare high performance sedans, the Lexus IS-F takes it.

    Here are my picks based on chassis and drive platform.

    FWD: 2012 Ford Focus ST
    RWD: Hyundai Genesis
    AWD: Subaru WRX STi
    Sedan: Lexus IS-F
    Hi-Perf: 2012 Shelby GT500 Super Snake
