Performance cars are at the heart of every automotive enthusiast's basic desires, whether for the straight-line speed from the massive American V8s or a road course special that can tear through corners. Having a fast car is a point of pride, but more importantly, a point of excitement and enjoyment. With that said, fast cars come with much heftier price tags than their less exciting, slower counterparts. This can often present an obstacle to someone looking for cheap thrills who does not have all the money in the world. Luckily, time heals all wounds, and the years have allowed once unobtainable cars to become quite obtainable.
