Speaking STRICKLY about BHP what car has the best bang for the buck and the worse bang for the buck.
Cars must be a 6 CYL or less , have a import theme and sold in Canada.
All $ are Canadian selling not US conversion.
My vote for worse is a TT Supra $80,000/300BHP=$266/BHP That's bad.
MY vote for best is a 2G Talon TSI $26,000/215BHP=$120/BHP That's OK.
The lower the Dollar per BHP the better.
I don't know every car so everyone post what they can while staying with in the format.

Ah shit wrong area , mod please move this thread sorry. |

I think my approx. 270hp NIssan 300zx for $2500.00 is a damn good bang for buck, even new it was only maybe $28K-$30K....
I don't feel like doing math, but I think the NIssan 350Z and S2K (in their class) are great for the money... better than an audi tt or boxster or z4 for the money IMO! |

I am kinda biased but
Subaru Impreza WRX 227BHP for $35,000
oh ya and the ...blah screw it....even if the rex isnt as cheap as the other cars it still gets my vote
worst = new BMW mini...too much $$$ not enough horsies

| I agree about the Mini, although it's such a cool little car... I would buy that versus a honda any day if it didn't cost so much! OH well... |

| A 1st gen talon would get my vote for bang for buck from new. I think it is a moot point to people who want to go fast/be the fastest. It doesn't take a bang for buck car for that. If a person wants bang for buck it shows they are financially/dream limited. A JZA80 wins my vote for easiest car able to buy off the showroom floor to hit 1000hp. |

| The new neon srt4 is crazy bang for the buck....but is looks like ass :moon: |
|
|
| 1mns13 |
| I second the Neon SRT-4. I was thinking of used cars at new. |
|
|
| redbaron303 |
| It's still a neon.... and won't be a consideration in my books! Oh well.! |

rezarexs mom.... you get a good bang for a buck w/ her!
I was thinking about maybe that new protoge mazdaspeed turbo version? |
|
|
| SlowAzzPorsche911T |
| nahhhhhhh the best bang for your buck is a chevy corvette :D come on think about it... a '03 Corvette is 80,000 and they have 350 hp.... that's 228ish/h.p and with the styling you can't go wrong :) or how about a Dodge Viper RT/10 120.000 and 450 h.p.... 267ish/h.p 'nuff said |

Hey that is probably right up there with the best.
I forgot about that one. |

Let me re-phrase what I said.
Putting everything aside including what you like personelly what 6 CYL and smaller import theme car sold in Canada has the best HP/$$$ ratio and which has the worse HP/$$$ ratio.
Please try to stay on topic and put all personel feelings aside.
Lets just stay with the math , no looks , no cornering , no favs , no bikes.
I still say my origional 2 from my first post.

Care to put a year limit on the question?
Other wise I'll pick a 1967 Datsun 510 with had something like 90hp for $2K:
$22 per Hp!
For new cars the new Altima or Accord, both have 240-245hp, for $29,XXX: ~$120/hp
... and the NSX is the big fat loser: ~$500/hp Ouch. |
|
|
| dogstar |
best bang for the buck:
neon SRT
~220 horses/~26000 = very approximate $118/hp
worst bang for the buck:
mclaren f1
cant remember horses/1000000 = a lot per hoss. |
|
|
| JDC™ |
| still gonna say any generation awd DSM. For the amount of power produced, potential to produce, and the added traction of all wheel drive the price is pretty damn good. |

| SlowAzzPorsche911T |
| alrite my bad.. didn't see the v6 or less thing.. it's definately the WRX STi for current models... for older I'd say a porsche 911 rs america |

==================
You think that is bad? For the exotic cars side, the NSX is one of the better ones. The ferrari F50 for example, would be about $1385/hp. I'd bet you wouldn't call that a big fat loser now would ya? |

Is the F50 a 6 banger or less. |

| mitsuman |
| F50 would be a V12! |
|
|
| darkman |
| CRAP! I've misread again and as usual. My bad. In that case the NSX is terrible! |
|
|
| Loose |
If we're going to include the Neon, we have to include the Cavalier VL!!!
140 hp, $15,785......$113/hp WINNER! :bigthumbup:
Or a strictly import, the Kia Rio S, 104hp, $12,350:
$119/hp :gay:
The Kia Rio S is the best import BANG for the BUCK car of 2003 :bow:, and the NSX is bunk. |

Ya, but BHP isn't everything.
What about weight? Torque? Ratio? |
|
|
| sil_eighty |
the nissan 180sx with a jdm swap is the best bang for the buck....car with blown motor=1500-2000.....sr20det=3000-4000.....
can get 271hp(13.5psi) to the wheels with bigger intercooler, boost controller
exhaust (stright), air filter, fuel controller
so for like 10 000 u have a rear wheel drive moster!! |

The car you describe was never sold in Canada. Worse yet, we are talking about FACTORY performance #'s, not HP aquired with aftermarket parts. Topic. |

How about a stock Pontiac FIREHAWK 345bhp for $52000= 155/bhp
But if you buy mine I'm sellin mine for about $32000 = 95.55/bhp
SO NOW WHAT'S A WINNER :bigthumbup:
I'm serious about selling and you can quote me on this price at any time
Go to Market place and check out the thread if interested

A Nissan Spec-v 175hp/180tq 2.5ltr engine msrpbase approx 25000
142/bhp
the 5k you save can be spent on turbo to push power and torque to 225-250 and have a light tight handling car.
I think talons and Eclipses are good too though |

1986 dodge omni glhs......178 hp/200 lb/ft of torque for arround $6500

This whole thread reinforces my theories on people that are uneducated regarding vehicles buying them for higher HP numbers.

Neon SRT-4 hands down. Boost controller and exhaust= some serious whoop-a$$
Also try using www.google.ca Supra TTs weren't$80,000 Vipers were and C5s were but not Supras.
The worst would be a Porsche 959 $320,000 for 450hp yeesh |
