2025 Corvette ZR1 | 1,064 HP 
It may seem a bit disingenuous to call the newest car in the Corvette stable one of the most powerful muscle cars; with a base price that’s estimated to start around $150K (and a realistic out-the-door dealership price cresting $200K) the 2025 Corvette ZR1 is well out of reach for anybody other than a millionaire. Nevertheless, it should be considered an aspirational muscle car. Its 1,064 rated horsepower comes via the second twin of the Gemini flat-plane-crankshaft 5.5-liter V-8 family, the LT7.

Base price: around $150,000 
Power output: 1,064 hp
