Message	Look at the price of this BMW Z8 and compare it to the Mustang GT and Camaro Z28 that you're comparing it to. Do you really think that you're going to get the same level of technology in a $22,000 Mustang GT as you're going to get in a $130,000 BMW? You make it sound like the American car companies just cannot make an engine like that, yet you totally ignore economic factors. With a selling price of $22,000, Ford cannot afford to include an engine with such complexity as the Z8's. I'd like to see the quality and performance of a BMW given those pricing constraints.
