Thinking about buying a newer muscle car

[Big Smoke]

I like my Subaru Impreza a lot, but I really miss the rumble of a V8. I am starting to assemble a list of newer muscle cars I could potentially buy to replace my Subaru.

Question is, what should I get?

I really like the new 5.0 Mustangs. Always been a fan of Camaros, but not sure I am the biggest fan of the new styling. A Dodge Challenger or Charger would also be nice. Also on my list is an 03-04 Cobra Mustang. I could get the Cobra cheaper, and have a Mustang that actually has an independent rear suspension and a lot of power under the hood.

Any other cars I should consider? What do you all think about the cars listed above? Keep in mind I am looking to spend no more than 30k overall.

We have had 3rd brake light assembly, crank sensor, sirius antenna, remote garage door opener, windshield wipers malfunction (later recalled after having to drive on a long trip in the rain with intermittent wipers, mostly off), the window switch, and tailgate switch killing the battery. That was really a pain in the ass, like the crank trigger (I had to find that on my own since it was so intermittent)

Most people would have already driven this thing through a showroom floor, but ours is actually a pretty good car now, especially after the recent software update.

Yeah that wiper problem is the one where I said multifunction switch. Lol.

And those crank sensor issues are tough sometimes

You get a very good suspension setup along with the Brembo Brakes. Comes with the Coyote 5.0 engine that is tweaked a bit. Extremely fun in HPDE tracks or even carving some cones.

I've got a 2013 Boss. It's definitely the most fun I've ever had driving.

Bad ass car.

I test drove an 04 Cobra today... and I'm left speechless. Car has some mods. The guy had the dyno sheet and it was rated at 485hp at the wheels. It completely blew me away. If I am able to sell my Impreza soon I am buying it. 55k miles on it. He said he would take 13k for it. Hope to get some pics up soon.

Was his name Kyle by chance?

If pure muscle is what you want, go with a Mustang. They take to mods very well. I've got a couple. My Shelby is street legal with 710 hp to the wheels. Its a kick to drive! The acceleration is brutal! Can blaze down the 1/4 in the high 10's -low 11's (Depending on the hook) and then on a road trip in total comfort without any worries or lifting a wrench.

Very good choice. The Terminators are special. SVT built them right!
