The Buick Grand Sport of 1965-1970 was a true muscle car marvel, sneaking a 401-cubic-inch V8 under the hood despite a 400-inch limit—talk about bending the rules! By 1967, the Grand Sport brought along its siblings, the GS 340 and GS California, all dressed to impress with fancy badges. Fast forward to 1970, the GS 455 flexed its 455-cubic-inch muscles, offering a Stage 1 that could make even the Chrysler Hemis sweat. And let’s not forget the GSX Stage 1 in Saturn yellow—it was the fashion icon of the muscle car world!

In the ultimate face-off between American muscle and German precision, the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport and the Porsche 911 Carrera S line up for a turbocharged duel. The Corvette flexes its 460hp V-8 muscles, flaunting a wide body borrowed from the Z06 like a bodybuilder in a tuxedo. Meanwhile, the 911 Carrera S, now with twin turbos, churns out 420 hp from its smooth operator of a flat-six. Both cars offer supercar thrills without the bank-breaking bill. So, which would you park in your garage?

Chevrolet’s Corvette from 1984 to 1996 was like a superhero in a sleek suit, returning the convertible in 1986 and breaking speed records with the ZR-1. With digital dashboards and a quirky 4+3 transmission, it kept fans on their toes. By 1992, a revived LT1 engine boosted performance, leading to a 330 hp marvel by 1996. Lotus Engineering even joined the party for the ZR-1, creating an aluminum-block beast with 375 hp. Meanwhile, the Callaway Twin-Turbo became a speed demon on steroids, hitting 254.76 mph!
