Best all around car for 35-40k

Ive been looking at cars around this price range. What is up with that new chrysler? Something like 425hp and 415ftlb torque....for something like $38,000....That just seems off to me, but maybe not.

Anyways, looking for a car that is pretty luxourious inside, but one that has at least up around 300hp. Something like an Infiniti G35, but not that one.

Just wondering if there's some that im missing, ive looked at Infiniti, Chrysler, Audi, BMW, Volvo. What would you guys buy?

*BY THE WAY* I realize there are probably some "for only 5k more you could get...." and I also realize "buying a new car is a waste of money and a poor investment". Im just looking for some info on this topic, thanks again.

2005 mustang gt......who needs luxury? although they are really nice inside you can get a convertible for around 32k or a hardtop for 26 or so.

damn dude, you just graduated high school and now you're getting a $38,000 car? Man that is sweet!! Personally I would look into Acura and BMW if you want luxury and performance, not to mention a car that holds it's value better than a ford or chrysler. I do like the 2005 mustang Cobra though.

All I got was a measly 2k, my bet is the crossfire tho.

Can you say Hemi

Because they stopped production for them in 2002?

The Chrysler Crossfire doesn't come with a Hemi, even the SRT version of it, the best you can get from that is the supercharged 3.2L V-6, which puts out 330hp and 310 lb-ft of torque . The only Mopars you're going to get with a Hemi is either the Chrysler 300 or the Dodge Charger, biggest downside to those cars are that they are HEAVY. The fastest of all those are the new Chargers in SRT trim, which have the 425hp 6.1L Hemi, it accelerates from 0-60 in about 5 seconds, which is the same as the 2005 Mustang GT. In all honesty I think for that money the Cobra would be very hard to beat for the price, 450+hp, 450+lb-ft of torque (closer to 500), factory 1/4 mile in the low 12s with trap speeds of 120mph, said to pull over 1.0g in the corners if you get one with an independant rear suspension. I think it'll be wicked.

i dodnt think you can get a mustang with IRS unless the cobar has a differnt axle, the crossfire i was talking about was just a concept i guess. the charger daytona would be cool or 300srt
