I wonder how many of these glitzy toys are bought by ‘rat elites, who drive them everywhere except to “climate change” activist events.
Yet I can’t even buy a diesel work truck unencumbered by EPA high-maintenance engine-killing horsecrap, unless I get a well-used one.
So I’ll stick with used, I guess. “They’re making it hard for the working man...”

255 HP is plenty if the car only weighs 2350 pounds. The problem with most of the listed vehicles is weight. Not to mention cost.
Heavy cars going fast eat tires and brakes at a furious pace. This English feller named Colin Chapman had this all figured out decades ago.
Here are the top 10.
My son-in-law mentioned that with the Ford family discounts (???) he priced a GT500 at under $50K... only daydreaming, of course.

Ya know what’s funny, is ya look at all these high end hot rods which in the 60s and 70s used to be built and drivin by teenagers and young adults...Now the only ones ya see driving these sleds are feeble guys in the 80s trying to impress someone...Very pathetic..

The stock 3.8 v6 in my FBird was 200 @the crank. Since I intend to keep the car till I croak I’ll rebuild the engine. With a cam, heads and exhaust It’ll hit 300 @ the crank pretty easily. Not bad for a six. The factory V8 was 300 @ the crank IFIRC. Not taking any bets on how long the trans will last after the upgrade...
God I miss that car.
Liars Club is open...
There will always be a small group of enthusiasts that will want the hottest cars around.
