6. Dodge Viper SRT-10 (2008)
It’s almost impossible not to love the Dodge Viper. A perfect combination of style and power, Dodge Vipers are beloved around the world. And the Viper SRT-10 produced in 2008 is a standout in this line of cars. Labeled a “supercar,” the Dodge Viper SRT-10 was produced to meet the competition from rivals head-on. The Dodge Viper SRT-10 not only competed in the segment, it won hands down. Really, how do you compete against an 8.4-liter V10 20-valve engine that cranks out 600 horsepower? What other car can match that power and take on that challenge? Nobody, that’s who. The engine in this Viper contains several special features that add to its power, including separate ignition coils for every separate spark plug. Engineers claim that this engine is perfect for tuning. In case you have a need for even more horsepower, special turbocharged kits are available for speed buffs who want even more power from the engine. The allure of the Dodge Viper SRT-10 is undeniable.
5. Vector W8 (1990)
Another curiosity from the past is the Vector W8 supercar, produced at the dawn of the 1990s. With style to spare, the Vector W8 was the type of car that was plastered on the bedroom walls of teenage boys back in the day. The Vector W8, manufactured by the Vector Aeromotive Corporation, was more than a pretty face. It also had award-winning power. With a maximum speed of 258 miles per hour, the Vector W8 attracted a lot of attention concerning the engine housed under the car’s bonnet. Tricked out with a 6 liter V8 twin-turbo charged engine with 16 valves and 625 horsepower, the Vector W8 blazed a path across the automotive world similar to a comet back in 1990. Additionally, the engine also had an aluminum small-block with an intercooler and twin turbochargers to make it that much more impressive.
