More recently, the muscle car returned, with Detroit sending out a fleet of midlife-crisis cars with just two seats geared to the former youth market. But several marques entered the market for the first time. The Cadillac, that most clubbable of sedans, sent out the sleek XLR, modeled on the Stealth Bomber and meant to rival the acceleration of the pricy Italian sports cars.

And Dodge produced the Viper, with its unusual 10-cylinder engine. Talk about torque. Current versions designed by the McLaren racing team have 600 horsepower and hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

NEXT: Chevrolet Camaro
