This should be in the cars in general section.

I'd take the Roush Mustang.
 
Closest to what I'd actually get is the SL55.

For that sort of money in AUD (I have no idea how much they're worth in America), a BMW E39 M5 is the one I'd pick.
 
$35k USD gets me an 02 Viper with less than 10,000 miles.

EDIT: I posted without looking at the poll :dopey: I would go with the NSX, or whatever is closest to stock. An aftermarket highly modded Corvette is bound to give you problems. The Aston and Merc would bankrupt you with maintenance, and the Mustang is well, a Mustang.

What the hell is wrong with a Mustang?
 
It isn't exactly a prestigious car, to start with. Or that pretty.

No need to act like someone called your mom horrible things.

Sorry if I came across that way. It's a nice car none the less. And prettiness depends on what you qualify as pretty and year. Each entitle too their own.
 
I'll take that Porsche 550 replica. 195hp in a car that probably weighs 1500lb? Sounds good to me. Plus, it looks like an awesome vintage Porsche.

It's just not for me, I've never liked it. Too heavy, too many models, etc. But of course that's just my opinion. And yes I've had experience with many from the Fox bodies to the current gen.
 
I voted Vette but if the NSX is in good shape I'd take it. Just depends when dealing with older cars.
 
Corvettes are dime a dozen in Florida, and primarily driven by 50 year olds who happen to vote Republican.

I'll go for the NSX. A lot more rare, mid-engined, and it's a Honda.

And ladies love affordable mid engined Japanese sports cars right?

Right???

Highly modified Corvette? Its just a bolt on supercharger. It'll be fine, its an LSx.
 
Right, as long as the owner has receipts for the purchase and install of the equipment. You don't want your charger to have been put on by Billy Bob in his garage with $40 worth of tools.

I just don't trust aftermarket mods, it usually means the car has been ragged out.

Considering most ladies don't know what "mid-engined" and/or "affordable" mean, that might mean a very select group actually care.

Also, I wonder if insurance isn't terribly kind to 20-year-old aluminum-bodied automobiles?
 
The Corvette and the NSX both have an equal amount of votes( and the most) who would have thought? :p
