7. 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 — 4120 pounds
Price: $55,250
The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is big on two things: horsepower and weight. Yet even with the focus on its 580-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8, the Camaro ZL1 still manages to perform on twisty roads: the big coupe set a 7:41.27 lap on the grueling Nürburgring in Germany, a time on par with some of the world’s best sports cars. The ZL1 wears a long list of aerodynamic components to reduce lift at speed, as well as strong Brembo brakes and two-mode magnetic shock absorbers. Yet all those goodies, along with interior upgrades like leather bucket seats and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, pile on more weight. A standard Camaro coupe with the 323-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 engine weighs only 3741 to 3780 pounds, depending on trim. The Camaro SS, powered by a 426-hp, 6.2-liter V-8, is 3860 pounds with a six-speed manual transmission and 3913 with a six-speed automatic.
