Right now, if you want a genuine sports car that doesn't break the bank, the choice is somewhat limited in the United States. If you want something affordable, you might even have to contend with more than two doors.
For example, some of the most affordable and practical performance cars sold in the United States in 2024 are the five-door Acura Integra Type S, Subaru WRX, Hyundai Elantra N, Toyota GR Corolla, or the Volkswagen Golf R, and Honda Civic Type R. If you really want to go with just two doors, the choice is restrained to stuff like the GR86 and GR Supra from Toyota, Mazda MX-5 Miata or Subaru BRZ, as well as costly things like the Porsche 718 or BMW Z4, among others.
Frankly, I think one of the most balanced compact sports cars available right now in America is the 2024 Nissan Z, but let's not forget about the Americans, shall we? The choice is small at the moment – you can have either the Ford Mustang S650 in EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse or the much more expensive C8 Chevrolet Corvette after last year, GM and Stellantis sent the sixth generation Chevy Camaro and the L-bodied Dodge Charger sedan plus Challenger coupe into retirement.
Yes, we know that a new Dodge Charger is coming in both traditional two-door fastback coupe and four-door sedan format, but the new generation sitting on the STLA Large platform is not coming out right now to dealerships after it was just revealed in an event showcased worldwide. Instead, if you want something right now with American DNA, there's the best-selling Ford Mustang (GT or Dark Horse, of course) or the C8 Corvette.
The latter starts from $68,300 after successive price hikes, but of course, the hottest versions are the $105k E-Ray and $113k Z06, not the Stingray. Naturally, anyone looking to stand out in a crowd will also choose the current flagship, the 670-hp FPC record-breaking Z06. On numerous occasions, we have discussed how one of the most significant assets for 'America's sports car' was that it could always be treated as a blank canvas to make it your own.
The C8 generation doesn't make an exception, and we are about to show you that it really doesn't take all that much to make the Corvette Z06 particularly stunning. In fact, thanks to the good folks over at Miami, Florida-based ANRKY Wheels, we have an eloquent example to share in the gallery – a Convertible (HTC) dressed with classic-looking aftermarket wheels and a simple yet gorgeous wrap.
More precisely, this Z06 HTC is equipped with ANRKY's RETROSeries RS5.2 aftermarket wheels finished in Brushed Clear, Michelin tires, a Paragon Performance tail light indicator, side marker and reflector overlay tint kit, a front license plate delete, and possibly a "world's first" Inozetek Metallic Midnight Purple Dynamic PPF wrap! So, what do you think?
