    Empty Pockets statement: "So, for about what one would expect to spend on a ZR1 one could buy a FGT and have something that appeals in ALL areas. And as far as I'm concerned, if one's going to spend 6 figures on a car - THE CAR OUGHT TO LOOK THE PART. But, 'mebbe' that's just me..." I would...

    They are a much better buy, in my opinion, then a 70 or 72 car...and they will be faster, handle better, and stop too...hard to beat computerized engineering. The folks paying over 100k for the old cars will be lucky to see the rear end of the new Challenger, Camaro, and Shelby GT500 in a...
