The Only Fast Cars I'd Buy

rev up your engines, today by popular demand I'm gonna talk about cars that you can get for under sixty thousand dollars that were really fast I put the limit at sixty grand because who's spending a hundred two hundred three hundred or even three million dollars on a fast car I'm talking about regular people here my all-time favorite car under sixty grand that was fast was a 2013 Shelby Cobra gt500 I had one for a whole week good thing I only had it for a week if I would have any longer there probably wouldn't be any Scotty here making videos to help you out that was the last car that Carroll Shelby had anything to do with making and the thing was a beast but at list priced under sixty thousand dollars now try finding a car that goes 200 miles an hour most of them two hundred three hundred thousand millions of dollars could they really go 200 miles an hour and my answer to that is yes but only in a really long straight line people really didn't have any luck doing on our racetracks but they actually tested them and Europe on a really long road and they got over 200 miles an hour now it requires so much more energy to go 200 miles an hour than it does to go 100 miles an hour it's an insane engineering feat to do so in a car that costs less than 60 grand I just think but a whopping 667 horsepower now did have a supercharger on it to make it go I mean you got to keep a ram in that era and in front of the vehicle didn't even have a grill at a giant hole and they needed a hole that big to suck enough air in to run the vehicle and the coolest so it didn't overheat when I was going 200 miles an hour interesting enough Shelby wanted to make like a hundred GT thousands each year they were gonna have like 1400 horsepower to him but he died and Ford pulled the plug on that I guess they figured making 100 cars wasn't too profitable for them so they stuck with the gt500 never made any of the GT thousands they ended up having to use a carbon fiber driveshaft on the thing because they wanted to use aluminum to save weight but the aluminum ones kept bending so it's a pretty high-tech car for under sixty thousand dollars now the 2020 gt500 they made it's only only goes 180 miles an hour because they realize to go 200 take so much energy and those things with all the tax title and all this other stuff they started like 73 thousand dollars it's a long way from the price of the 2013 it doesn't go as fast that's fast fun car for under 60 grand for 2018 honda civic type-r now sure it's not as insane as the Mustang in a Camaro but for a small car those little rocket ships are fun to drive around I've got customers with them and I love it when they bring it in for oil changes and stuff and I get to test it out that sucker could go 169 miles an hour behind engineers designed it to have the right amount of ground force so what's going fast it still handles quite well if you get in one of those and you're going super fast you're gonna notice the handling it's actually much better than the Mustangs of the Camaro it's also lower to the ground car toe but people are fighting over them now trying to buy them I had a customer recently buy one here and used to gotta go away to Albuquerque to find one that was a decent price because all the local dealers here whenever they had and they were jacking the price up really high so we went all the way to Albuquerque to buy one and when you have a car as small as that seven with 306 turbocharged horsepower yeah that's something that's really gonna do some screamin especially at low to mid-range speed to low your vehicle so we can just take off faster and also stop faster notice with the styling of the type r people either love it or they hate it but all the weird fins and stuff time to put them on to make them aerodynamic so they can drive around at 169 miles an hour and still have great control after World War two when Honda seriously started to make motorcycles and a lot of aeronautical earnt allowed to build fighter planes and stuff anymore so they made motorcycles and went really fast at a high speed so with Japanese bikes with all those curves it was more like wings going down the road the motorcycles the way they're designed so if you want a small car with speed they only come at standard transmissions behind a Civic type-r hey probably the car for you if you value bang for your buck if you decide to drive them slow at certain times they still get really good gas mileage, the Shelby Cobra gt500 I got about three miles again I was driving like a maniac when I did drive the speed limit it still only got about 13 miles a gallon their big gigantic supercharged v8 engine now that looks fast car runner 60 grand Dodge Challenger with the health care engine nothing overall bigger car than Mustang so it's not quite as nimble but it goes 0 to 60 in a mind-blowing 3.4 seconds now there is a faster car than that that's the Tesla Model S when you pay 15 grand for it's ludicrous function it can go zero to 60 in 2.0 seconds that's just insane but then again here I'm talking about cars across less than 60 grand so you can forget the Model S unless you're talking about a used one I had a customer just bought a used one for forty five thousand dollars because they have insane poor resale value he bought one that listed for 125 used with ten thousand miles and then you only had to pay forty five grand they have horrible reset dog but I'm talking about the new price of the car here those Hellcat engines are insane now it is old technology their push rod engines they're not even overhead cam engines I put out a tremendous amount of horsepower of course they're tremendous gas hogs do but we're talking about speed for the lowest price possible here straight-line speed you just like the Mustang they're not cornering marvels they don't corner all that great but if you want straight-line speed you really can't beat these Hellcat engines today Dodge has gone so far that they sell what are called hell crate engines they sell ones that you can bolt on to the old 60s chargers and stuff so you could make them and same personally I would never do that those old ones really didn't handle that well and with 700 some horsepower how are you gonna kill yourself if you do that but they're making the kits available for anybody who wants to try now the next speed car I'm talking about might surprise you it's the Tesla long-range model 3 it was rear-wheel drive they're not making any more because they want to simplify their production if you add in a second motor to it that didn't make the price go up to $50,000 that's still less than my $60,000 base I'm talking about and then that thing can go zero to 60 and 3.5 seconds that's pretty fast electric motors have full power all the time so you should turn them on they go and one of the advantages of Tesla's is they have a low center of gravity and really sharp steering we call battery packs a weight is loadout so they actually handle really well I drove one once and I was impressed by the acceleration and the handling now it is a full electric car and I'm not a big fan of that but if you want speed that's the way to go in an electric car it'll make that particular model anymore but you can probably get a used one and a really decent price if you want an electric car that can really go fast, now the next fast car of 2018 Camaro zl1 1l e a special model and yeah I admit I'm cheating here it's a little over $1,000 over 60 grand but it's close enough the classic muscle car it's got 650 horsepower with a supercharger that's not get so much horsepower just like the Mustang did and it's matched to a 6-speed standard transmission just like the Mustang was it it's a classic muscle car for somebody who wants the stick shifter and a lot of horsepower while the fancy car that's the new one with the mid-engine are going more for the European type market the Camaro pretty much just stuck to its muscle car roots big all v8 pushrod engine supercharger and a six-speed standard transmission for guys that really like shift and that's part of the driving experience of those things, so now you know some super fast cars you can get for under $60,000 if you feel the need for speed, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos remember to ring that Bell
