+1 I'll admit they are sweet cars, because if you're a car person you know whats good and whats not, but I will never own a foreign car. And I too won't settle for less than a v8 although I would take something with 4.6L (03-04 Cobra). But yes IMO v8's should be 5.0L+.

i'm not saying you cant make power out of a smaller motor. 03-04 cobra, audi has like a 4.2 thats pretty stout, even these little turbo'd rice boxes. power is power, TORQUE is fun.

No thats true but those cobras make the same tq as they do hp. 390/390 stock. But i do wish there were cars out with old school big motors.

I heard someone say before: "Horsepower wins car shows, torque wins races" And I always thought that was cool and is def true to an extent.
