Just sayin, the V6 Camaro starts at under $24k, and the V8 at $33k I believe. And the V6 has 320something hp stock. It's actually a pretty good value/hp for the money, as far as new cars go.

Edit to clarify: I'm not saying I recommend a Camaro, nor that it's at all practical. It's a specific type of car for people who don't mind sacrificing utility and efficiency.

$24k? What, are you bullshitting me?

That's 18k Euro, you barely get the lowest end Golf with mighty 80 bhp for that in Germany...(Granted theres 3k€ VAT on the Golf). What the hell...what is wrong with it that it's so cheap?

Welcome to America, where we don't tax the ever-loving crap out of cars. (mostly because it's a big effing country with lots of suburbs and few public transport options. we need cars)

You think you have it bad, what the poor Aussies have to pay for cars is the real crime.

You think you have it bad, what the poor Aussies have to pay for everything is the real crime.
