not at all. i love notchback fox’s, 03-04 cobras, ~07 GT500’s, LS1/T56 transplants into NA’s, FD’s, S13/14’s, S30’s, e30/36’s, etc etc etc.
the only newer, 20-50k american cars i’d buy are vette’s, cobras/gt500’s, CTS-V’s, etc etc etc. all the german sedans demolish the american sedans in nearly every category that im interested in, mainly exterior/interior looks and styling.
the V8 was also by Yamaha but the 1st models were only 3.0 V6s’ then the later run of the gen1 SHO when an auto was offered it was a 3.2 for the auto and a 3.0 for the 5speed manual. both 220hp.
