8. Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Top Speed: 189 mph
Zero to Sixty: 3.0 seconds

With a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 engine cranking out 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is lightning on wheels. The Corvette Z06 reaches a top speed of 189 mph and goes from zero to sixty in 3 seconds flat. You can get there with one of two available transmission options, a seven speed manual, or an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters. A performance package is also available that adds carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, and adjustable aerodynamic add-ons. The Corvette Z06 also has the option for a convertible top, in case you want to see what the wind feels like through your hair at close to 200 mph.
