8. 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The Chevrolet Corvette has always been a powerful car, but the Corvette Z06 takes that power to a new level. A supercharged 6.2 liter V-8 producing 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque resides under the hood of this monster of a car. Six gears wasn’t enough for this baby, so Chevrolet installed a seven-speed manual transmission as a standard. An eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters is also available. The Corvette Z06 has a zero to sixty time of 3 seconds flat, and has a top speed of 185 mph. The chassis and suspension are perfectly tuned, keeping the Z06 planted on the pavement as it flies around corners or tears down straightaways. You have the option of a coupe or convertible, so if you ever wanted to know what it feels like to have the wind in your hair at 185 mph, the Z06 can let you find out.
