Power: 3.4-liter H6, 300 hp
Because Porsche styling evolves at the pace of Illinois political reform, a seven-year-old 911 looks a whole lot like a new one. Car geeks and valets will know that the blobby headlights signify an older car, but in terms of performance the 996-model 911 is plenty contemporary. For twenty-five grand, you can have an automotive icon with 300 hp hanging out over the rear axle.
