Hi, Guest
The Saturn Ion Redline I sat in last month had Recaros... why are they making the Cobalt lose out? :huh:
My first choice if I had $30K to spend would be a 2005 Focus ST or a 2005 Mustang coupe (non-GT). If being new wasn't a stipulation, I'd go used SVT or used 99-02 Mustang GT.
The 05 Mustang goes 0-60MPH ~ 6.5 seconds and still gets decent mileage. You could slap on the factory handling package, then chip it and do base mods and probably go 0-60 in the upper 5s and corner like a champ.
EDIT - the factory handling package is trash. They should just call it "ABS + Traction Control" package.
