High performance and reliability don’t always go hand-in-hand — especially at lower prices. There is no such thing as a new sports car with 400+ horsepower for cheap. The current Nissan Z coupe counts for something, but even it starts at over $40k today. That said, many high-horsepower models sacrifice reliability in the name of performance. In order to find relatively affordable cars with around 400 horsepower and decent reliability, we have to move to the used market.
