    You don’t need to spend Porsche prices to get a new car with a bit of pep. Forbes worked with Edmunds to put together this list of the ten quickest new cars for under $30,000.

    Some, like the Ford Mustang GT and Subaru WRX, are pretty obvious — but who knew the Honda Accord coupe with a manual was a tenth of a second faster than the Mazdaspeed3? Let’s find out what other “cheap” cars made Edmunds’ 0-to-60 cut.

    1.) Ford Mustang GT
    0-60: 4.8 seconds
    Price: $29,145

    2.) Subaru Impreza WRX
    0-60: 5.2 seconds
    Price: $25,495

    3.) Ford Mustang V6
    0-60: 5.6 seconds
    Price: $22,145

    4.) Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart
    0-60: 5.8 seconds
    Price: $27,695

    5.) Hyundai Genesis 3.8 R-Spec Coupe
    0-60: 5.9 seconds
    Price: $26,750

    6.) Honda Accord Coupe EX-L
    0-60: 6.3 seconds
    Price: $29,730

    7.) Mazda Mazdaspeed 3
    0-60: 6.4 seconds
    Price: $23,700

    8.) Mazda6 s Grand Touring
    0-60: 6.4 seconds
    Price: $29,320

    9.) Kia Optima SX
    0-60: 6.5 seconds
    Price: $25,995

    10.) Hyundai Sonata SE
    0-60: 6.6 seconds
    Price: $24,345

    **Yes, we know the Camaro V6 should be on this list — but we didn’t create it. By our numbers, it should slot in right below the Genesis R-Spec Coupe. Go bitch at Edmunds and Forbes for not including it.**
