I like the Grand Prix.
"We love breaking down data in different ways here at Insider. Recently, we decided to look at value through a different lens: cost per horsepower. A healthy discussion ensued, with many of you sharing that you’d gladly pay a little extra for a trimmer body style, a high-performance package, or a V-8."
"To our lengthy spreadsheets we returned, playing with the filters to yield a fresh list. This time, we set the threshold at 300 hp and looked only at two-door models. To keep the selection affordable, we restricted ourselves to cars that cost no more than $15,000. We didn’t want to just be talking about rough examples, either, so all values you see here are for vehicles in #3 condition—well-maintained, driver-quality cars, in other words."
"The choices vary wildly across the decades. First off, no car in the Hagerty Price Guide from the ’80s meets these criteria. Sports cars with 300 horsepower existed in the ’80s, of course, but none are cheap, as defined here. The same is true for the 2010s: Powerful two-doors abound (hello, C7 Stingray), but they’re well into the $30,000 range. We had to head back to 2010 and Ford’s Mustang (315 hp, $13,600) to meet each of our thresholds. A smattering of foreign cars from the ’90s and ’00s fit our filters, but none show up in any prior decade. Together with how expensive ’80s cars have become, this won’t surprise any good student of automotive history."
"In general, you’ll find the richest selection of two-door classics with 300 or more hp in the 1960s or in the 1990s through the 2000s. To make sure no decade is under-represented, we’ve chosen two from each decade—excluding the ’80s, for the reasons listed above."
