Go Fast on a Budget: 20 of the Best Cars with 300 HP or More for Under $10K

  1. Pontiac GTO

Produced for just three model years, from 2004 to 2006, the last GTO is a true performance bargain. Under the hood is an LS1 5.7-liter V8 that provides 350 HP. The GTO provides enough performance to be one of the hottest American cars for the 2004 model year.

The 2005 model year saw the introduction of the 400 HP 6.2-liter engine and even better performance of 0 to 60 mph times of just 4.6 seconds. But even that didn’t help, so by late 2006, Pontiac discontinued the GTO.
