Whether it was a television show or a poster on someone's bedroom wall, many cars inspired the kids who grew up in the 1990s. When tuner culture was in its golden age, we had the pleasure of being around for the debut of some of the most iconic cars since the arrival of Ford's Model T.Of the many cars that we all dream of, these are ten of the most popular cars from that era that were on everybody's "dream cars" list, and these are what those cars cost today.The cars included in this list are arranged in order of value, starting with the lowest. The prices we've included for these cars were sourced using Hagerty's valuation tool and are based on the "good condition" valuation for the cars listed and are for the earliest model year. Volvo 850R Value: $13,600 1996 Volvo 850 R Yellos Front AngleYou know those seat belts in your car? You have Volvo to thank not only for creating it but also for not patenting it and allowing other manufacturers to use their seat belt design. Another notable innovation in Volvo's lineup was the Volvo 850, specifically the version featuring the "R" suffix.The Swedish automaker introduced a high-performance version of its box-shaped saloon and wagon model, which featured go-faster hardware, including a turbocharged five-cylinder engine, a viscous coupling limited-slip differential, and a beefed-up manual transmission, available worldwide except in the US. Except for the last part, this all rings true for another forgotten hot hatch. When these were new, the sedan had an MSRP of $38,420, while the wagon version of the 850 R was $39,720. However, today, both can be found on the used market for less than $20,000. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Value: $23,100 1990 Chevrolet C4 Corvette ZR-1 Black Front 3/4The fourth-generation Corvette ushered the Corvette nameplate into the 90s, and the ZR1 of that generation kickstarted the love for the Corvette. Introduced in 1990, this version of the fourth-generation Corvette was developed in collaboration with Lotus to build the world's fastest production car. At its core, the LT5 V8 engine featured features like intake runner deactivation to expand the power band of the engine.When it debuted, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 was a standout performer, much like its modern descendant, distinguished by its 0-60 mph sprints and top speed. It would go on to set several world records, many of which were later broken by the Volkswagen W12. Still, today these 90s wedge-shaped rockets are being sold for close to $23,000, but it's worth remembering that they had pop-up headlights, which we've associated with legends, making their asking price a little more approachable. Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Value: $42,000 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4There was nothing like the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 when it debuted. A 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine powered this sleek Japanese coupe, offering the same power as the Toyota Mk4 Supra's celebrated and revered 2JZE-GTE inline-six engine. The power from that six-cylinder mill was distributed to all four corners of the 3000GT, which was also supported by an electronically controlled suspension.Meanwhile, its cooling points were generated by the active aero system, which automatically adjusted the front and rear spoilers. Spanning across three generations with several changes made throughout that time, the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 can be had for less than $45,000 on the used market. Dodge Viper RT/10 Value: $54,700 1996–2002 Dodge Viper RT/10 two shotThe first-generation Dodge Viper RT/10 was a marvel because it was a car of extremes, from its sleek design to the hulking V10 engine that was placed ever so gently over the front axle. That same ten-cylinder engine, exclusively produced, delivered 415 hp, which not only enabled it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds but also provided a striking soundtrack as it cruised on public roads.It forced its drivers to be cognizant of their throttle input, lest they invoke the fury of the V10 engine, which wasn't diluted by trivial features like a traditional traction control system. For this death trap that we love so much, expect to pay roughly $54,000 for a used example of the Dodge Viper RT/10 on the market. BMW E30 M3 Value: $65,700 1987 BMW M3 E30 Red Front Angle DrivingIt should come as no surprise that in a list of cars that many '90s kids viewed as dream cars, the BMW E30 M3 would be included. An icon of its era and one of the most notable examples of greatness being born from an automaker's desire to go racing, the first BMW M3 is a dream car for many. At its core was a peppy four-cylinder engine that offered nearly 200 horsepower, but it was the engine's responsiveness and rev-happy nature that made it stand out.The BMW E30 M3 would be remembered, after its production ended in 1991, as one of the greats, kickstarting a lineage in BMW's catalog that remains to this day. Be prepared to cough up nearly the same amount of money you'd spend buying a brand-new BMW M2. Acura NSX Value: $65,900 1992 Honda NSXImagine being a kid growing up in the '90s and stumbling across a video of Ayrton Senna chucking a Honda NSX-R around Suzuka in brown loafers and white socks. This likely marked the inception of many enthusiasts' love for the Honda NSX, also known as the Acura NSX in the United States. With a transversely mounted 3.0-liter V6 engine perched over the NSX's rear axle, this was a left-field offering in terms of styling and powertrain layout.That engine was housed in an aluminum monocoque chassis supported by a competent double-wishbone suspension system. It was a masterclass in sports car engineering and is remembered as one of the great sports cars of the '90s. A testament to its reputation, the Acura NSX's value has increased since its debut in 1991. Porsche 996.1 911 GT3 Value: $90,322 1999-2005 Porsche 911 GT3Some hate it and others love it, but we can all agree that the Porsche 996 911 GT3's headlights were distinct, to say the least. Debuting as a way for Porsche to enter its cars into the FIA GT3 Cup, the first-generation Porsche 911 GT3 was a Spartan road car that made it clear homologation requirements spurred its inception — lacking creature comforts like sound deadening, its rear speakers, and the rear seats, to name a few of the differences between the standard 911 and the GT3.Its engine was the legendary Mezger air-cooled flat-six engine, paired with a six-speed manual transmission, which fed its power directly to the rear axle. Today, this German sports car is worth almost $100,000, even though some people might argue that its distinctive 'fried egg' headlights don't warrant such a high price tag. Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R Value: $155,000 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 front 1/4The Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R needs very little introduction. For some, it was the highlight of the early entries in the Fast & Furious series, while others were introduced to it through its dominance in the motorsport world. The R34 Skyline GT-R was one of, if not the most popular, cars of the early 2000s.Its competition-busting performance was derived from the hallowed RB26DETT inline-six-cylinder engine, one of the most appealing aspects of the R34 Skyline GT-R, which sent power to all four corners of this incarnation of the GT-R. It is the most expensive generation of Nissan's GT-R, with an example in good condition worth at least $155,000; however, some examples have sold for double that amount, or even into seven-figure sums for celebrity owned examples. Lamborghini Diablo Value: $219,000 Lamborghini Diablo Facelift Gold Front Angled View DrivingA wedge-shaped physique punctuated by angry body lines and a bellowing V12 engine were the fundamental aspects of a car named after a notoriously fierce fighting bull from Italy. This mid-engine supercar arrived at the beginning of the '90s and bowed out, after several variations debuted, in 2001.The first incarnation of the Lamborghini Diablo was a successor to the Lamborghini Countach, and, in comparison, it was a superior supercar, especially after several alterations were made to the Diablo during its eleven-year production run. Today, this '90s V12-powered supercar is worth nearly a quarter of a million dollars in good condition. Ferrari F50 Value: $3,600,000 1995 Ferrari F50 Top Up Red Front Angled ViewTrying to follow up on the Ferrari F40 was no easy feat, and unfortunately, that fell to the Ferrari F50. While the Ferrari F40 was a stellar sports car, the Ferrari F50 deserves its share of praise as well. Its V12 engine produces more power than its predecessor, allowing its shapely frame to reach a top speed of 200 mph.It wasn't just the engine that distinguished the Ferrari F50; it also relied on several pieces of hardware derived from Formula One, such as its engine, which served as a load-bearing member, and its suspension system. It should come as no surprise that for one of the members of Ferrari's royal family, the Ferrari F50 commands a substantial sum on the used market, amounting to $3.6 million.
