He bought the Chrysler 200 V6 because it has 286hp. As far as straight line speed goes, its a hell of a bargain at $20k.
MSRP is 22k, but it doesn't SEEM like there is anything else in that range- as in, within 10% of the power and 10% of the price- I don't have the urge to check weight/power ratios. A Camaro and Mustang each have more power and better fuel economy, but they are not four doors.
