They start around 40. 
A while back, one of the magazines posted a review of the Corvette Z51, C06 and ZR1, judging which was the best deal for the money. Completely different price ranges and levels of performance.
I'd like to see something similar done for all of the listed cars, price, horsepower, and luxuriousness aside. All of these cars are sporty RWD coupes with a decent bit of horsepower. What if somebody with enough money for any of them but no preconceptions about which brand is "best" wants an honest opinion about how to spend their money?
For the camera guys, I think of this kinda like Ken Rockwell's recommended camera page. In it, he recommends several cameras, ranging in price from ~$100 to ~$5000, saying which ones are best for which people. He gives an overarching recommendation for the Nikon D40, which is far from being the best or fastest camera out there. At $450, it's simply the best for the money. He goes on to say that if you have specific needs, there are better (and more expensive) options.
I'd like the car comparison to end with a similar judgment (including justification) by the writers as to which is the best for the money, and then the specific circumstances under which they feel that certain people would be better off with one of the others.

its really not the same class. just comparing cars to cars. in this case it was domestic to foreign.. no reason you cant compare the two and its not impossible to compare. the bmw is just a marked up car thats it. better materials.. technically the same thing. now if they made the same camaro ss and sold it for 50k, im pretty sure it would weigh a lot less, and probably out preform the bmw.
