I recently got a C32 AMG and was discussing it with someone at work who struggles to accept that this sober looking estate has 350 horse.

What is the cheapest new car on sale in this country with 350 horse? Not interested in including cars you can remap to 350, this has to be a standard car.

And to keep it clear I'm interested in list prices only.

I'll start the bidding. Vauxhall VXR8 has list price of 35k (although I bet nobody has ever paid 35 for one) and has 420-odd bhp.

That's blown it! I was going to say the Caddyshack CTS-V - 420hp for £57K list.
So if you'll permit imports....

Camaro SS 6.2V8 426hp - $32K US List - but they seem to be £=$ in the UK sellers.

New 5.0 Mustang GT $28k, so around £29-30k here.

It's fairly easy to find stuff if you're allowing imports.

The 370Z gets quite close for 28k but isn't quite there.
