There are lots cars under $50K, but not too many with that raw, guttural power you crave.
So you’ve got a bit of extra cash floating around and you want to get yourself a car. But not just any car. You want something that’s going to be fun to drive. You want to feel that exhilaration when you lay into the throttle. You need to hear that raspy growl that spools into a high-pitch howl. You’re after high-horsepower, powerful cars.
Good News: Powerful Cars Are Affordable!
But if you didn’t strike it rich on the Powerball lottery, you don’t have a fortune to spend on your new car. The selection of cars available under $50,000 is vast, but there aren’t many that have that raw, guttural power you’re looking for. To help you narrow down your search, here are the ten most powerful cars you can buy if you have up to fifty large.
2016 Dodge Challenger R/T Hemi Scat Pack
One of the most badass and powerful cars on the road is the Challenger, and it comes in a range of models from the poser’s V-6 to the monstrous SRT Hellcat with 707 horsepower. Alas, $50K won’t get you a Hellcat, but it will get you the Challenger R/T Scat Pack. It has the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8, good enough for 485 horsepower from 392 cubic inches. You’ll scoot to 60 miles per hour from a standstill in just 4.3 seconds. Choose either the 6-speed manual or the Torqueflite 8-speed auto for a fun ride. It comes in at $38,995 with the manual transmission.
