The exotic Chevrolet Corvette offers an even hotter variant, the Z06, which is the most affordable race-inspired car you could own. Coming in at No. 7 on our list, this car cannot be forgotten. The Z06 resembles the C6-R race car and is a "fastback" with a rear hatch, which makes it more aerodynamic, like a racing car.

The Z06's hand-built LS7 aluminum-block V8 engine contains racing-derived components such as an eight-quart dry-sump lubrication system and titanium connecting rods। This affordable muscle car also has a six-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes. Weighing 49 pounds less than the standard Corvette coupe, the Z06 has a curb weight of 3,130 pound.
