Chevrolet Corvette
By virtue of its 455-hp V8 LT1, the Corvette offers extraordinary performance while maintaining more than acceptable fuel consumption for this type of vehicle. The refined ride and improved interior materials allow it to rival the Porsche 911. The Z06 v is back for 2015 and, with a 625-hp supercharged V8 and the occasional use of carbon fibre, it is essentially a street-legal race car.
