from ~$242,000
518 hp · DRS aero
The apex predator. Formula 1-derived aero and a 9,000-rpm flat six. Nothing touches it.
from ~$118,000
670 hp flat-plane V8
The giant-killer. Z07 package, carbon wheels, and a screaming flat-plane crank for half the price of Europeans.
from ~$325,000
815 hp supercharged V8
A Mustang with a transaxle, pushrod suspension, and a Nürburgring time under 7 minutes. Insane.
from ~$164,000

The mid-engine scalpel. One of the all-time great driver's cars.
from ~$142,000
543 hp · RWD
The hardcore M4: lighter, stiffer, faster. A proper track weapon.

420 hp · 9-speed auto
The Z turned up: more power, sharper chassis, track-tuned aero.

from ~$330,000
740 hp · carbon tub
