Too bad your dad won`t spring for the V-8 in the Mustang. The V-8 Mustangs are my fave American made sportscars. Their powertrains are indestructable. Ford can definitely make a hellava V-8! I`d actually love to have an SVT Cobra. But the Z-32 will always be my first love. I wouldn`t trade my Z for anything. Hey,if the V-8`s the reason he doesn`t want you in a GT,tell him to get you a 350Z,and say,"Hey dad,it has a V-6" :)
