Pontiac's best ever

Well, on my first post we talked about the Tesla electric Roadster. In this post we're gunna actually get into some of my kind of cars. This whole blog was created to find the best overall performance car in the u.s.a for the price. And a couple months ago i saw this commercial. Most powerful car for under $30,000. And hey that fits this blog perfectly! Incase you haven't figured out what car im talking about it's the new 2008 Pontiac G8 GT.
Let's go over it awesome performance numbers first. It hits 0-60 in a solid 5.4 seconds, and hits the 1/4 mile in 13.7 seconds. Pontiac's designers finally seem to have found the right combination, blending the now non existent gto and grand prix. Inside line claims it to be the best pontiac ever. I wouldn't say so, seeing as though the gto in 2004-2006 had 400 instead of the g8's 361. But i guess engine power isn't the only thing to everyone, just me. lol. They claim this car will be under 30,000. That can be misleading. For 30,000 you get the engine and a base car with small rims and cheap rubber. So for around 33,000 you can have an astounding car that can tear up the track with a 65 mph slalom test speed, on the drag strip with awesome power and on the normal roads with its perfect balance of stiffness and give from the suspension. It also comes in over 5 different exterior colors, and options are abundant.
It might not be as mind blowing of a car as the Tesla Roadster, but for $60 something thousand dollars less, i could live with it.

The little electric that could

As you most likely guessed, this blog was created to try to figure one thing out. Whats the best exotic or modern muscle car in the u.s.a for the price? (obviously im against Obama's strong push on alternative fuel sources) lol. And since i really love big blocks and huge gas guzzling engines that'll get you from 0-60 in the sub-4 second range, im going to go ahead and get out only car that doesnt use gas out of the way. You're probably asking yourself, why is he putting a hybrid in a blog like this. Well actually its not even a hybrid. It's the new 2009 Tesla Roadster, which actually runs 100% on battery. It goes from 0-60 in under 4 seconds, and goes up to 220 miles on a single charge!!!!!! AMAZING!!! It also has a top speed on 125 mph. It charges to 100% battery capacity in only 3.5 hours, less then your remote control car that lasts only about 20 min. The watermelon sized battery that moves this amazing machine generate up to 250 horsepower and 276 pound feet of torque!!!! It's not cheap though, coming in at $105,000. And you won't be getting next day shipping with a waiting time for this car of up to 9 months. It comes in 13 different breathe taking colors and offers over 20 different types of interior colors. As for safety. This is about as safe as you can get, having everything from ABS brake system to all traction tires and traction control. Another point to bring up with safety is that theres no motor anywhere. So if you get hit straight on or anywhere you wont have to deal with a 500 lb engine ending up on your lap thats 600 degrees and has parts moving at over 8,000 rotations per minute. Thats a major thumbs up.
So basically for around the price of a new viper, you can get the same performance, more safety, have that smile that says "im glad im saving the enviornment", and the most unique car on the road.
On the down side, you wont get that gruntle of the 10 cylinder engine, and you wont be able to go past 125 mph.
