- $87 a horse!
You know how much an actual horse costs?
How can they offer the public that much power
for not that many monies?
I popped my ears when I did that.
There are a lot of great new cars,
but which new car is the best value
when it comes to power, baby?
Today we're gonna find out.
We're talking dollars per HRSPRS.
I'm James.
This is the Monolist,
and this is The D-List.
A big thanks to The Zebra for sponsoring today's video.
(horn honking)
- Ah, how do I fix this thing?
- Hey, replace the so and so
with a new such and such,

(upbeat instrumental music)
(ball clacking)
Woo!
Another hole in one.
All in a day's work, baby!
(mellow instrumental music)
Guys, I found it!
It was in the hole the whole time.
(car horn honking) Guys?
- In this video, we're going off a 2022 MSRPs,
but as we all know,
MSRP are meaningless because society's broken,
everything's fake,
and dealers can charge whatever they want.
You'll own nothing and like it.
Now just to set a baseline,
the absolute cheapest new car that you can buy
in America today is the Chevy Spark.
It has an MSRP of $13,600,
and makes a whoopin' 98 HRSPR.
Do the math.
That is $139 per horse.
Now on the other side of the spectrum,
a brand new, lamber-guy machi Aventador SVJ
costs $517,000.
It as a 6.5 liter V12,
that makes 760 horsepower.
But crunch those numbers
and you wind up with 681 per HRSPR.
Worst value than a Chevy Spark.
Makes you think.
Let's be honest,
Chevy Spark is in the most exciting sports car in the world
and the Lamborghini isn't exactly budget minded.
So, let's talk about everyone's favorite,
budget-ish sports car,
the 2022 GR Supra.
Now the cheapest Supra available today
has a two liter in line four.
That's the exact amount of Mr. Pibb
that Nolan drinks after lunch.
But with the help of a little spinning boy turbo charger,
this Pibster makes 255 HRSPRs.
With a starting price of around 43 grand,
that gives us a dollar per horsepower of $169.
But, just because the four cylinder one
is the cheapest Supra,
doesn't mean it's the best value
because you can also get it
with a three liter six cylinder.
Costs 8,000 more dollars,
but this three liter skeeter
has a dollar per HRSPR
of 135 bucks.
Sorry, Spark!
You've been usurped from the top of the Monolist!
Supra reigns king!
For now. (dramatic music)
I mean is the Supra really even Toyota's best bargain?
Well, let's take a look at his little brother,
the GR86.
It makes less power, 228,
but it also costs less monies.
27 grand, MSRP.
That gives us a ratio of $121 per horse.
But neither of those flagship sports cars
is even Toyota's best value.
Allow me to introduce the TRD Camry,
as in Toyota Racing Development.
That's right.
They did a TRD on a Camry.
And this sensible sedan means business
with 301 horsepower coming from its V6.
Costs a little over $32,000,
giving it a dollar per horsepower of $108.
That's a value.
Now since we're talking about
affordable, front wheel drive sports cars
at this point in the video,
let's see where Honda stacks up.
Now the top is dog offered by Honda
is of course the Civic Type R.
Every pirate's favorite car.
It's supposed to start at $38,000.
Here's a used one that I found at a dealership
that's listed for $64,000.
64 American thousand dollars for a used Honda.
Now we have a whole on this show
about the absurdity of the used car market.
And if you think dealerships are outta hand,

Hit that notification bell.
If you like that kind of stuff,
we make that kind of stuff.
You check it out.
Anyway, 306 horses live inside of
the Civic Type R's, two liter engine.
If somehow you found one
that isn't double the MSRP,
that gives you a DPH of $124.
But, turns out the Type R isn't Honda's best value
for power at all.
It's not the Civic SI either.
It's not even an Accord.
The best dollar per horse Honda we could find
was the Odyssey LX.
This minivan has a 118 dollars per HRSPR.
I didn't wanna include the Odyssey on this list, all right?
It's a list about sports cars,
but the Honda Odyssey is the monolith's favorite car,
and he had a whole team of lawyers threaten me,
so I didn't have a choice, all right?
(lightning buzzing) Now, let's check back in.
The TRD Camry is still on top,
but which car company's
finally gonna step up and kick this sedan off the mountain?
Is it Hyundai with Veloster N?
Nope.
118, tied with the Odyssey.
Maybe VW with the GTI?
Not even close.
123 buck, barely even a value.
I wish I would've spread these out more.
Let's try the Subaru's WRX.
This boxer boy makes 268 HRSPRs,
starts at $27,000,
giving us a dollar to power of
a dollar three.
Boom!
King of the list!
(dramatic music) For now.
And I think it's time to step it up a notch,
so we got a lot of congestion down here.
The new Z boy is coming out next year
and we're fired up about it.
It looks sick and it's gonna have a 400 HRSPR
twin turbo, V6.
Uh, super killer much?
And you can get it with manual.
So what's the price tag gonna be
on this 400 HRSPR Z?
Well, Nissan says it's gonna cost $40,000.
That's a hundred dollars per HRSPR,
ladies and gents.
A cool, crisp, even number.
Finally!
We can do better than that.
All right, let's move on to Inglewood's favorite muscle car,
a vehicle known for making way too much horsepower
for the amount of money that it costs.
I am of course talking about the Dodge Challenger.
But which Challenger is the best value?
Let's start with the king of the pack,
the Superstock.
Now this makes the most power
out of any current Challenger.
807 HRSPRs,
but it costs $84,000.
That's a dollar four per HRSPR.
But down great to the Hellcat Redeye,
and you save about 10 grand.
With 707 horsepower,
we're all a sudden only spending $94 per horsepower.
We're in the double digits, guys.
You can't afford not to get one of these.
Now downgrade again
to a regular, old, grandpa Hellcat
and you're looking at $66,000 MSRP.
That gives you a dollar per power of $93.
But again,
let us downgrade even further to the (beep) pack.
One of the coolest cars named after poop.
Unlike the other challengers on this list,
the (beep) pack does not have a supercharger.
It has a naturally aspirated, 6.4 liter V8
that makes 485 HRSPRs.
That's 322 horsepower less than the Superstock
in the same car.
Yes, but it's also $41,000 cheaper.
So, the humble Scatpack
has a DPH of just $89 per horse.
That's a cheap horse!
You go to the fair,
you see 'em lined up,
you say, how much is that one?
They say $89.
You say, Betty,
that's a cheap horse.
But Dodge ain't the only car company
selling powerful, cheap cars.
Ford has a lot of different Mustangs,
and they put down some pretty good power for the price too.
On the expensive end of the spectrum,
over in here, you got the GT 500
which makes an absolutely normal, usable 760 horsepower.
It costs 73 grand,
meaning the GT 500 gives you $96 per horsepower.
That's a bargain,
but on the cheaper side of the Mustang spectrum,
you can buy a four cylinder EcoBoost
for only 27,000 bucks.
A car people made fun of the EcoBoost for years.
That the Ford ain't have no V8,
so it ain't a real 'Stang!
That's what they said.
They said it all over the place!
They made T-shirts and everything.
And honestly,
I don't think it deserved much hate to be begin with
because that four banger-stanger,
makes 310 horsepower,
giving it a ratio of $88 per HRSPR.
First place!
Better value than a poop pack Dodge.
Surprisingly,
there's another Ford that's an even better value.
The GT's famous, five V8
makes 460 HRSPR!
That is more than enough to have a good time.
Believe me.
I've never even owned a car with that much power.
And you could walk into an imaginary Ford dealership
that honors MSRP values,
and buy this 'Stand for 36 grand.
Good luck,
but theoretically you could.
What's that give us?
A value of $79 per horsepower.
You know how much an actual horse costs?
Do you know how much land you need to maintain
460 livestock animals?
Good on ya, Ford!
But even still, the list ain't done!
I popped my ears when I did that.
Ae still gotta talk about Chevy,
but first I wanna give honorable mention to Rivian,
and we thought about include more trucks on this list,
or more EVs,
but we decided people don't really buy trucks for HRSPR;
however, the Rivian R1-T is very quick.
It makes 835 electric buffers,
hearses,
and costs 67 grand,
giving it a ranking of $81 per electric horse.
That's better than any other truck that we could find,
and it's got a little pocket on the side
that you can fit a Jimmy in.
And with that outta the way,
can Chevy make it to the top of the Monolist?
First up, the Corvette is a pretty good value
for what it is,
but don't waste your time.
It's $126 per HRSPR.
Moving on.
If you're looking for serious budget power,
you're gonna want to get yourself a 'Maro.
A Camaro.
And the biggest chonger in the lineup
is the ZL1, which makes 650 bumblebee horses.
It's 63 grand.
That's $97 per pony.
And just to be clear,
that's before you factor in the gas guzzler tax,
and the destination charge,
and also getting completely, completely reamed
by the dealership.
Just reamed. (man yelling)
But you don't have to pay a gas guzzler tax
on the V6 Camaro 1LT.
It makes 335 horsepower.
It only costs 27 grand,
so it ties with the Rivian at 81 bucks per pour.
We're not even done!
Chevrolet beat the Mustang GT's insane value!
Let's crunch some numbers and find out.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(music skipping)
Fact number one,
the Chevy Camaro LT1,
not to be confused with the one LT
that we just talked about,
has a 6.2 liter V8
that turns out 455 HRSPRs.
Fun fact number two,
the Chevy Camaro LT1
has a starting MSRP of $34,000.
Let me just do a little math here.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(loud explosion)
$75 per horsepower!
The greatest value on planet Earth!
That is the last Chevy you'll see on this list.
In fact, that's the last car you'll see on this list.
