Last week, the new Corvette ZR1 set five lap records at the hands of various Chevrolet engineers, which got us thinking: what's the greatest American performance car built for the track?

For starters, there’s the second-generation Viper ACR: a 645bhp V10 powerhouse that glues itself to the road as easily as a second-hand stick of Wrigley’s Doublemint. It came painfully close to becoming the first sub-seven-minute American production car around the ‘Ring; a title ultimately snatched by the wild Ford Mustang GTD.

Speaking of Ford, any raised hands for the GT? Not only was the original a four-time Le Mans winner and certified Ferrari pest, but the modern-day, track-only MK IV secured a 10/10 TopGear.com rating to wave the legendary moniker off into the sunset in some style. And speed, obvs.

On a similar playing field to the GT sits the Czinger 21C, which not only traded blows with the equally circuit-focused Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution by shaving two-tenths off its time around COTA, but is also two seconds quicker around Laguna Seca than a McLaren Senna. That thing does not play games.

Away from the track cars that can go really quickly around corners, America’s strong association with drag strip racing also birthed one of the greatest straight-line adrenaline junkies of all time: the Dodge Demon. With the right conditions (and tuning), it’ll snap from 0-62mph in just 2.3 seconds. Quarter mile? That's dispatched in 9.65s at 140mph. Yeah, strong neck muscles recommended.

Cast your vote below for what you think is America’s greatest circuit-monster, and we’ll round up our favourite arguments in Friday’s results post. Happy quarrelling, readers.
