Ok guys, I've got 10k cash at my disposal, and I'm looking for a higher performance daily driver. The best options I've found within my price range are:
>2006 Infiniti G35 coupe 90k miles >2000s nissan 350z with somewhere above 110k miles >2004 mustang GT with 64k miles >2005 mustang GT with 100k miles convertible >2011 Honda Accord V6 with 64k miles
In what order skills I prioritize these? I'm checking out the honda tomorrow, probably not going to pull the trigger on that one yet, though because it has a salvage title and it could possibly have frame damage.

You forgot the almighty LS1 T/A or Camaro
Adam Clark
Get the g35 or 350. They're both pretty good dailies and last a pretty long time (like 175k or more typically). You'll also be able to get a clean one and have like 5k left over.

Putting a beachball sized turbine in a fwd shitbox. Thats a great idea for a fast daily.
All honesty the abaolute fastest you can go is an early C5 Corvette or a F body WS6 or Z28
Most people (who aren't professional drivers) will probably be getting closer to 0-60 in 6 seconds. This gen really wasn't that fast. Not a Mustang hater, just sayin...
Wyatt Watson
3k Civic With a few simple mods ofc
Joshua Stewart
It's the 04 with the 64k I'm assuming it's 6k or under so you can afford the 3k super charger and then run it on premium. Actaully fuck it sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6190144041.html 7k auto... Canadian emissions? Also has an auto for DD.
Anthony Gonzalez
The 2011 mustang has 300 hp and 30 mpg. It's a great car the problem is it will depreciate like dogshit. Actually went on a test drive. It's power seemed about on par with my 2001-2004.
Gabriel Foster
You can get an 08 for the same price but it looks like ass comparatively.
Charles Lee
you must confused, the mustang of that generation came with the 3v 4.6L v8, not the shitty 2v
The 3v is a huge improvement.
260 hp vs 300hp
Jackson Ortiz

Cameron Myers
I can hit under 6 in my 2001-2004. And that's after 9-13 years of horses have left.
Blake Thomas
3k civic with some tasteful handling mods will give you the experience you're looking for.
If the car HAS to be off of that list then get the 2004 mustang. Regardless I don't understand why so many people have been coming on here lately asking if they should get a 350z. Literally 90% of them are going to be clapped out riced to shit boyracer mobiles. Not to mention it's statistically the most dangerous car on the road today in America with the most fatalities from crashes. They're honestly not good cars.

There is no confusion over the differences between a 2004 and 2005 Mustang. I just don't believe that a 2005 Mustang can do 0-60 in 5 seconds. At least not without a professional driver. That would mean that it's faster than my IS350, and I know that's not the case. Plenty of YouTube videos to back that up.
Brandon Clark
summer needs to end already
Zachary Johnson
Just go test drive all of them and decide by the handling and comfort of them. It's no use by asking Veeky Forums as the answer will always be to buy the ls.
Luis Johnson
Get the Mustang GT in fastback, not convertible.
Also, ASFAYDCG is most likely a corvette C5.
If not, a S197 2005+ Mustang GT is your best bet for speed and comfort. I like these better than the New Edge desu.
Eli Flores
Cayman
Sebastian Carter
What do you mean. An auto in the S197 GT does it in 5.0 flat depending on conditions and wheelspin and tires. Not to mention the amount of mods and room to grow you have on a V8 than a high strung V6
>Cost to repair will cost more than purchase price in 6 months.
Adam Clark
In my horrible opinion, any VW 2.0T (tsi?) and spend a healthy amount on mods. Alternative if you want stock power for 10k probably that mustang GT, if I knew the market price for used SHOs I'd fully endorse that route
Isaac Bailey
This if you actually want to go fast.
William James

>Even a v6 mustang can do 5.1 seconds 0 to 60 >350z cucks can't believe a 2005 can do the same or better than that.
Pic related, a V6 Mustang with the performance package can do it almost 5 seconds flat according to Motortren. 3.31 gears do a ton of difference and the GT mustang with similar numbers but more torque should be a lil bit better.

350z hr which he should get and 370z are 4.5-4.7 Nissan is notorious for underestimating their 0-60 and hp
lol @ a shitty e36 m3 with the shitty usdm specs. e36 and e46 are practically the same price I don't know why anyone would choose the older fake M
Ayden Hernandez
C5 corvette is hands down the best performance for the money. just do maintenance and put some nice tires on it.

>Ever considering a 350z with that joke of an engine. It can't even manage 500hp to the crank before braking. The V6 cheap engine can manage 600 before needing forged internals.
>V6 Mustang >Not faster
You need a Nismo 370z to be faster than a Cheap v6 mustang.
Dominic Collins

10K is plenty for a reasonable condition NA + coilovers, tires/wheels, and other mods.
Parker Diaz
Pretty good options, the 350z v6 is stout, the accord is the only honda worth a fuck and the 4.6s have the most room to grow for cheap and go hundreds of thousands of miles.
That being said, fuck a salvage title car dude. I'm telling you now, do not go that route. Generally speaking, everyone in the car world agrees a salvage title HALVES the value of a car.
Next up, the 350/35 will get good MPG, are quick once you get above 5k rpm and fairly sporty.
The 04 mustang will feel the shittiest stock, but you could get one for WAY cheaper first off. The 05 has better heads and aluminum block, but a much heavier chassis. It does increase rigidity by 100% but 100$ subframe welds will literally make the sn95 much stiffer.
Fastest combo apart from a lolrocket?
Look at the other dude posting about buying a GT for 3000$. That car plus a fucking turbo is a reliable 450whp. Pistons and rods for 800$ and you can do 600WHP. Junkyard 4v headswap, better fuel, Sky is the limit.
Aaron Morales
Did you even watch that video? The gt got destroyed by 350z. Also your pic shows the 2006 z being faster than 2010 gt... So it took ferd 5 years to TIE with the 350, by which point the 370 is destroying them again. Ford btfo as usual
Nathan Nelson
>He accepts that a v6 mustang is faster than the track package 350z. >He doesn't know that the V6 mustang is on par with the GT on acceleration but lolcanturn, hence why the V6 is faster at the track.
Liam Robinson
>Destroying them again The 370z cost the same as a GT and it gets BTFO in every aspect by the mustang, right now a v6/ecoboost is the closest competition in terms of performance but not price.

>2011 car finally TIES with 2006 car >an accomplishment How is tying faster? Yea na, the 350z hr can gap gts like in the vid and even more so the 370. Price/hp means nothing with those 5.slows
Brayden Garcia
Good luck finding a clean HR for under 10k
Luis Barnes
>2011 v6 Mustang rekts 350z >This doesn't make the 350z looks bad
>370z >Ever winning against a GT 5.0
This is the top of the line NISMO 370z... It barely managed to win against a v6 mustang by 1 second, the old 2011 5.0 is just in another level. Nissan can't compete in that segment, the new 5.0s? It's not even fair.
Jose Sullivan
the mustangs are probably your best bet, up to you if you want the higher mileage car because convertible
never buy something that's been in any kind of accident.
Kayden Kelly
The v6 didn't rekt anything but ok What track are these from
Camden Edwards
Want straight line power go for Mustang. Want nice straight line performance with very good handling abilities go for 350z. Both cars are rather worry free cars, not many things can go wrong, 350z has very strong gearbox (Many people here use it to manual convert Supras, due to getrags being very expensive) with only weak-points being syncros going out but it is common in sport cars. Both are N/A machines with good reliability, you might find a decent 328CI E36 or 330CI E46 for same price but they are different machines and a bit more expensive to maintain.

Gt just means its a v8 for ponys
Eli James
Didn't know they put truck transmissions in supras xD I said pretty good, it is quite fast car in straight line, not as fast as mustang but still enough to beat most cars on road. Also are you serious expecting car with live axle to perform well in any cornering situations? Finally in new gen they decided that it is time for IRS. IRS new thing in 2015 xD. And it comes from somebody who had an automatic 4.0 facelift for a 2 weeks, and my good friend is a mechanic specialized in 350z/370z. (OP) Also you should look at oil pressure gauge, this car dislikes low quality oil, also keep away with cars that have been drifted on stock oil pan as its simple design makes the oil pressure decrease (Or even starve) due to centrifugal forces (Has been changed on 370z). Generally look for simple things this car is very simple compared to other Japanese cars.
Tyler Anderson
Also the 350z can weigh up to 3600lbs which is the same as an 05 gt
(A 1994 FBODY weighs less than a 350z)
Oliver Cruz
>live rear axle
Install a watts link and your pony will handle better than most factory irs setups
Evan Young

Gavin Sanders
Are you talking about the irs that ford didn't put into production from 2005-2014? Only the cobras had it from pre 2004
Jonathan Bailey
The 350z are a little bit over 1600kg (~3500) irl, while 4th gen GT with Manual is a bit over 1700kg (~3700). Funny thing 350z was actually designed in USA so it might be the reason why it is designed such way with big na V6 and high weight. However the weight itself doesn't matter that much one car can have much stiffer chassis even if it weight this 200lbs more it still might outperform lighter car.
Jose Davis
It's a daily driver which means getting a bike is going to be super inconvenient.
Kevin Nelson
Lets don't go this road of discussion because tuning possibilities are endless in both cases, for the same price he could buy Civic/E36 rolling shell and fully modify it so it will outperform everything on road...
Ethan Bennett
>First bike a 1000cc... Only in Murica >Why not get a lease on H2R instead? Heard they are good first bikes. Seriously it is a bad idea to have an bullet for first bike. But It is hard to disagree that price/performance ratio is much higher on bikes...
Xavier Wilson

Jaxon White
lol sure u can get one under 10k clean
Michael Moore
a possibility of having a well handling v8 coupe is very enticing though
you can make a civic fast sure, but it won't have that v8 character and torque
