If I had to choose between just those three though, as much as I hate to say it, GT500 unless you get talk them down on the price of the Corvette. The price of that used Corvette is too high considering the prices of new 2008 Corvettes right now. While Ford's quality and reliability isn't all that great, it's a lot better then Chrysler's which means less time in the repair shop and more time having fun.

First off, why do you
hate to say it? The GT500 is a great car and does exactly what it was engineered to do. I have 20K+ miles on mine now, with 90% of those miles having over 600rwhp on tap and I have not had one quality/reliability issue with the car. With about the same miles on my 2006 GTO and at stock power levels, that car had been in for warrany work about 4 times.
Secondly, having owned a number of different Ford, GM and Chrysler products in my time, I would say, in terms of quality and reliabilty for cars built since 2000, that they would rank 1)Ford, 2)GM and 3)Chrysler.
If you have owned and driven cars from each brand and use that experience as a guide (and not what you have read and/or heard from somewhere else) I am okay with whatever opinion you post on the matter.
