Been looking for this topic everywhere cant find anyone’s opinions. I am just interested in peoples opinons on the fastest (top speed) anyone has seen a car do at less than 100k MSRP without adding stuff to the car.
I know most cars have limiters and stuff like that but feel like a MB c63 and a c300 wont be limited to the same top speed.
$59,995 base Corvette C8 will do 198-mph. That’s probably the best performance per dollar. Equipped with Z51 that drops to 184-mph, but acceleration rockets at 2.8s.
For a luxury performance sedan, a 523-hp M550i or even a M340i (0-60 in 3.8s) are fairly quick (yes I know technically you were asking about top speed vs acceleration) for a somewhat reasonable pricing point
Feel like the CTS V might be just as fast as the hellcat when it comes to top speed. Obviously the 0-60 goes to a bunch of different light-weight cars but I’m talking straight free way foot down to the floor which car is winning a 5 mile straight run race
Top speed seems like a bit of a useless metric given how you mostly can’t utilize it outside a track and a lot of the Germans are good for more than 155mph but limited obviously. A 0-60mph or 30-80mph time is usually way more interesting (in my humble opinion)
