I don't care what anyone says. Generally speaking, a 4 cylinder car with similar power to an 8 cylinder car will never be as reliable or comfortable.

And for the record, fuck Ford. They ruined Volvo.
C70 is sweet and so is the S60R. Before they merged Volvo made cars that looked like boxes on wheels.

anyways, back on topic. Who is going to be top dog with all these very powerful cars coming out?

Ford GT?
Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500?
C6 Z06?
Viper RT10?

I can't think of any imports for the price range that compete, otherwise I would have listed them.

for $40-50K the new GT500 will have more power than the LS7 and is rumored to pull more than a 'G' on the skid pad. Thats going to be a hell of a "bang for you buck" car also.
