It’s the only modern day muscle car to go as far as moving its engine behind the rear seats for the name for the sake of performance. How many cars on this list can you say you’ve driven in both front- and mid-engine layout? The new Corvette uses a familiar 6.2-liter V-8 engine that produces 490-hp, or 495-hp with the Z51 package. We’ve already settled which Corvette is quicker. We expect an even more powerful 600-hp version soon, which is only a warm-up for the Vette’s ever-growing muscles.
