I was reading the October issue of Car and Driver again today and wanted to pose the same question to you guys as they posted in that issue.

Which of these vehicles would you buy if you were given $25,000 for the purchase and fun was your prime motivater:

2008 Mazda MX-5 (new)


2008 Vokswagen GTI (new)


1991-94 Acura NSX


2002-06 BMW M3


2001-04 Chevrolet Corvette Z06


2004-06 Dodge Ram SRT10


1999-02 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG


1989-94 Porsche 911


1994-98 Toyota Supra Turbo


* All used vehicles are assumed stock and in above average but typical condition for the price.

Quite a good wide variety to choose from. Would you go for one of the new cars for the warranty? The NSX for it's handling and head turning? The Z06 for it's power? The Supra for it's tunability?...

Which one would you select?

Z O SICK =)

runner up being the M3.

the dodge ram srt 10 of coarse... lol it has a viper v10 haha its the obvious choice

BMW M3!

I read this article as well and asked myself the question... I would have a hard time deciding between the Z06 and the M3... I guess it would depend on the condition of the actual car.

I too debated between the Z06 and M3.

mine would be either the nsx or the z06 but i cant find a nsx or a supra turbo for 25 haha

I don't mean this as an insult at all, but could someone tell me what made the NSX so great? From what I know, it was expensive, mid engined, and not all that fast....

They are actually really slow. My brother's friend has one and it's not that impressive.

And my choice would be the Z06 or the M3

Supra or NSX, I CAN'T DECIDE

the Honda NSX ONLY if it is a Targa, otherwise the Supra Turbo.

It was seen as the budget supercar, the poor man's Ferrari if you will. It looked great, it was lighter than the Ferrari 348, the suspension was well tuned, and while 270 hp isn't anything to shake a stick at nowadays, it wasn't that bad for the early 90's when a typical Porsche 911 was struggling to find 250hp from more displacement and the 348 which cost more than twice as much only had 300hp and weighed about the same. Plus Honda had a semi-successful racing program with the NSX, and it's a Honda so it'll run year around with little problem or down time due to repairs. It's not uncommon to find NSXs with over 100k miles, and Comptec makes a supercharger kit for this car that'll help you pull several more ponies from that 3.0 VTEC.

The Corvette it probably has more horsepower than all of these combine. Just joking but the Corvette would be my choice since i like corvettes.

YOU are so right...
