Agreed on the Corvette.  However, I just figured both were a little too
far out of the Mustang's price range.

Since you didn't specify a price range.... I could have thrown in
several Euros, but on a price per pound, the Corvette is far more
"reasonable", and the BMW isn't too far out.

As for the Mini, some of those little four banger cars can be a total
blast to drive. I owned an MG Midget. Total fun on the coast highway!
And brand new in the showroom, it cost me $2000, $1 per pound.

love that nose... just something about it but I am not into the whole
station wagon thing.

: 8) Nissan 350Z
it's a mighty sexy looking little thing I wouldn't kick it out of my garage.
Only I'd want it in either the Track Coupe or the 35th Anniversary

: 10) Chrysler Crossfire
too pretty to be so slow, but I have liked them since I first saw them.

: 15) Mini Cooper S
They are just SO CUTE!
I'd drive one any time!

: 17) Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged
They are pretty spiffy!

Uhhh YEA! You missed a BIGGIE!

2005 Vette OH BABY OH!!!
*sigh* twitter*gulp*drool*

Now THAT I would drive, in a Heartbeat!

1) Pontiac GTO
       2005 has awesome power but quite bland looking.
2) Dodge Charger or R/T/SRT-8
       Looks really mean from the front.  Would get the Daytona model.
3) Dodge Magnum or RT/SRT-8
       Love the station wagon look.  Would have to be the highest HP model.
4) Chrysler 300 or SRT-8
       My girl loves this car and I think it is great also.  My boss has
the AWD version.  They should make an AWD version with the stronger motor.
5) Subaru WRX or WRX STi
       STi would be nice but I'd pick the above before one of these.
13) Honda S2000
       For a fun two seater, this is hard to beat.
15) Mini Cooper S
       Vert. only.  Sometimes it might be fun to drive a roller skate.
20) Chevrolet Impala SS
       I always loved this car.  Huge and lots of power.  This would be if
I were going out to dinner with friends.  Either this or the 300.

The Subaru, the Saturn, & the Mini Cooper.
