"I will give Ford and maybe the other american manufacturers some credit for closing the quality gap, but the designs are still outdated and inefficient."

I will have to agree and disagree. Take a Zo6 vette and a shelby gt500. Both motors have 500+ HP and seemed to have been touched by the hand of god. These motors can handle huge amounts of power and still get very good gas mileage. Did u know if u port the blower on one of the new gt500's you can gain over 100rwhp. I recently saw a bone stock vette motor that had two large frame turbos strapped on it and made 690rwhp and has lasted for 20K miles and still running strong.

The american performance cars have come a long way in a short time and are making great power while maintaining decent MPG when cruising around. I recently drove a Z06 that had 500+ hp and still got 26-28mpg on the highway. That is the best of both worlds.

The interiors on the other hand.....still plain and somewhat boring....But when your smashing on the "Loud pedal" who is thinking about the interior?

SWEET Z32 MikeKrantz!!! Thats a really clean Z. I will have another Z32 one day.
