When it comes to performance, the most mythical of American cars always delivers a great bang for your buck. Whether it’s with the base versions or the Z06, even the thunderous ZR1, this high-performance sports car has everything it needs to take on the exotic European cars, some of which are sold at double the price. Still available as a coupe or convertible, the Corvette generates between 430 and 505 horsepower, and up to 638 for the ZR1.
