Well Cranky, glad to see you intend to stay within the Ford ranks.
I would have thought this would be your chance to get into a Penske Camaro Trans-Am car.
My two cents: being a Ford guy, it is the perfect platform to showcase vintage Ford iron or not so vintage aluminum. The body shape is classic and provokes a vague longing to get in and drive. I like the simplicity--no frills; just car. I like the sound--pretty hard to duplicate the rumble through sidepipes--pretty darn hard to have a street-legal car with sidepipes in the first place.
But, 17 years is a long time.
