Good evening Opponauts!! Welcome to this week's edition of the Oppo Ebay Challenge. This week: find the combination of sportscar, hot-hatch, and sedan for $136,000 or less that cost the highest amount of money/second which would mean you want to find the fastest cars that cost the least amount of money. Hopefully this can be a weekly thing and if there is enough interest I will compile a follow-up post with the top 10 suggestions.

Rules:

1. Must be stock and street legal. If the car is modified it should be treated as unmodified for the sake of comparison.

2. All laptimes must come from reputable sources.

3. Listings must have a reasonable chance of selling for the price given.

My 3:

Now lets see how well you guys can do! Happy Hunting!

But this means that the slower it is, the lower the money-per-second is.

I don't think your comparison makes sense.

Basically you're asking what's the most expensive way to go... fastest.

The car with the least seconds and highest price will get the highest amount of dollars per second . So if we have two cars that are equally fast, while one is twice the price, the doubly expensive one will have the highest ratio.

Your equation would sorta work in a different manner, though:

[PRICE] × [TIME] =[RATIO]

The lower this ratio, the lower the time and price, which you want. :) There are better ways of going about this, but, eh.
