400 HP or more?

Which unmodified new cars have more than 400 HP, are generally
available, and cost less than $40,000? GTO? Special Mustangs?

As a back-up question, which unmodified new cars generally available
can get from 0 to 60 in less than 6 seconds and cost less than $40,000?

Why would you need that much raw horse-power anyway?

I for one would be totally satisfied with the V8 Stang Vert -- SVT
Cobra, manual trans.

I also want a winter beater car that I can abuse like a new Subaru
Impreza. I'm picturing it with rust underneath, scratched up paint
that's never washed, door dings and dents everywhere, and mud & road
salt all over the place. Oh and a tail light banged up and with
colored tape over it. All beat up in just 2 years of ownership. Can
you imagine that? A perfect winter beater car with AWD, stick shift,
and low to the ground flat 4 boxer engine. Because the engines so low
to the ground it's got a low center of gravity. I can't think of a
better winter beater car than a subaru.

Mitsubishi Evolution
Subaru WRX (2 versions, one fast, one blindingly fast, both under $40K)

-Pontiac GTO

-Dodge/Chrysler cars w/ SRT-8 engine

(the 425-HP 300C is around $42k I think,
Magnum and Charger might be less)

-Ford has the Shelby Cobra GT500 coming in MY 2007 (?) but it's
unpriced for now

350z
WRX
Dodge SRT-4
Honda S2000

Make sure you put one of those "Support Our Troops" stickers on the
back of it for when you're idling in traffic with that gas guzzler.

Altima 3.5SE 5MT should get to 60 in under 6 seconds and costs about $23k
for the cloth interior model. A few minor mods will get you into the low
5's.

My '03 with stock exhaust minus factory resonator: mph and
better than 25mpg if driven conservatively. (that's ~ mid 5 sec 0-60) Not
the fanciest, nicest, or most prestigious car, but you can't beat the
performance/$ ratio except for possibly a new mustang GT.

Only with Communists or Socialists is it about "need",as in "you don't need
that much power".
They like to control others in that manner.
They want to determine what other's peoples "needs" are and what the others
can have.(according to THEIR feelings,of course)

Why they crop up or live in free societies,I do not know.
Maybe because we tolerate them.

You're so full of ****. If anything you're the left lane blocker, and
for your information I do have a powerful car to drive around idiot
LLB's on the road such as yourself.

Subaru WRX can do 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds.

And I'm pretty sure it handles much better than the Mustang with
that solid rear axle.
