10. Pontiac Firebird Formula/Trans Am (1998-2002)
The Pontiac Firebird Formula and Trans Am from the late ‘90s and early 2000s are true icons of the muscle car era’s twilight.
Both models feature the highly regarded LS1 V8, delivering explosive acceleration and unmistakable exhaust notes.
These Firebirds have earned collector status thanks to their aggressive styling and impressive performance, yet they remain surprisingly affordable on the used market.
Prices for solid examples are still well below those of a base Tesla Model 3, making them an appealing choice for enthusiasts seeking classic V8 excitement and long-term value.
