Mustang will be the best bang for the buck period.
Especially if acceleration is what you want, worry about the gearing, if you get a track pack with 3.73, you are probably good, but if the price is better on something else, just get the rear gears changed to 4.10s on the order of <$750. After that work on keeping it hooked up with tires, and anti-hop pieces. Later on go forced induction and lay CTS-Vs to waste.

This will be a garage kept weekend driver, so, I feel like I have a lot of time to mod it. The mileage will stay really low. I expect it to have only put 5-7k miles on it per year. Forced induction will most likely be after year two.
Is wheel hop an issue with these?

My 09 Stock had a wheel hop issue. I have since changed the springs and shocks as well as bought new LCAs but did not mount them yet.. supposedly the LCAs go a long way though. I have not been to the strip since though, perhaps this summer I will. All of them were very reasonably priced compared to what I remember looking at for my former 5G Camaro.
