4.7 seconds for $24k

Make: Subaru

Model: Impreza WRX

Lowdown: Heres one example of where racing experience really translates into increased performance on the road. The flat-four turbocharged power plant in this rally driver's dream produces plenty of pull when you put the pedal to the metal. Now what does that mean for us? When that streetrace moves from simply dragging greens to something a little more intense -- The Fast and the Furious, anyone? -- you'll be able to hang with the best of them. All-wheel-drive brings you all the grip you could ever ask for and delivers 0-60 times around 4.7 seconds. That's rediculously fast. A $130k Mercedes sl63 amg does it in 4.5 seconds. The Subaru costs $24k. Wow.

Verdict: Fast!
