Chevy Camaro ZL1 — Best New American Muscle Cars

Back in the day, the cool kids in high school used to drive Camaros, or at least their dads’ Camaros.

These days, if you want to be one of the ‘cool kids,’ you can opt for the standard Camaro Coupe, which costs less than $25,000 dollars. If you want something that’s supercharged, you’ll have to spend a little more and buy a Chevy Camaro ZL1 Coupe (over $50,000). The Camaro ZL1 boasts an aluminum 6.2-liter supercharged engine that generates 580 horsepower.

For those folks who live in warmer climates, you can even get a convertible model as well. Just be sure that your hat, and everything else that might be loose in the car, is firmly fixed down as you try and break the sound barrier while racing down the zigzags of your favorite roads and highways.
