I know this is "blasphemy" on an import forum, but I gotta say it.
Best bang for the buck = 1990-1992 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX - gotta be manual trans. Barely over 3000 lbs. 225hp & 300 ft lbs torque stock. Nothing like the sound of that V8 when you open her up and rip into the pavement. No car with fewer than 8 cylinders could EVER soundasgood!

Well, if that's the case, the only car that I believe would top the the Mustand LX is my old 1985 Buick Grand National.
Turbo Straight Six. That's all I gotta say[8D]

Good call on the American muscle, however most of the imports would eat them in the corners....this question really depends on what you want to do with the car. Is this for a road course race or a drag strip?

Grand National = Too rare = too expensive. Back in '99 we bought my Mustang with 80k on it for $4,500. You can still buy one for around $6k. Still best bang for the buck.
For the price of a good condition grand national you could buy a good condition 5.0, slap a powerdyne, paxton, or vortec supercharger on it and say "bye bye". Plus you'd probably still have some $ left over.
