Well, I think the Mustang is the better daily driver, but it is indeed underpowered. You could wait for the 5.0 DOHC 400hp Mustang GT to take care of that problem, but then you'd be waiting until probably May or June of next year. The only other option for the Mustang would be to wait until Ford announces the 2011 engines and then try to get a smoking deal on a 2010. If you could get a leftover 2010 in the high 20's, you could get the factory installed supercharger and still be out the door for under 35k. That would also take care of the power problem.

The Camaro is a great car but I think you're going to have a hard time finding one that isn't optioned out to at least 35k+.

The only other option is a Pontiac G8. It's a 4-door obviously, but you can get one for under 30k and it is RWD and V8. It runs on 87octane and is easily modded.
