Do I really want one of these?

I'm hankering after either the latest Mustang GT or a Monaro. Problem is, it'll be a couple of years before I can afford either.
Soooooooo, would one of these fit the bill for now? I'm currently running a Nissan 300ZX and a Ford Capri 2.8 and I see this falling between the two. I've driven a convertible V6 version down Highway 1 in California and had a great time. I'd definately go for the V8 and a manual box as the V6 auto felt very lethargic.
So, does anyone have any experience of these and what should I be looking at paying for a 2000/2001 model?
Cheers

Cheers LuS1fer. I won't be rushing into this as I'm being made redundant at the end of September.....but I'm getting itchy feet. I may wait and go the whole hog on the new Mustang GT or Monaro VXR in a year or 18mths. But the Mustang does appeal in the slightly shorter term.
I'd only go for the one with the facelift (slightly more angular styling). Was this instroduced around the '99/'00 model year? There aren't many on Autotrader, but then that's probably not the best place to look. Guess the Mustang owners club would be the best starting point.
I do like the Camaro (not that dis-similar in looks to my 300ZX), but I prefer the look of the Mustang. I do prefer the Chevy engine though......it's partly what makes the Monaro such an apprealing prospect.
Oh, and I'm sure the two California road trips have a lot to do with my hankering after the Mustang. Oh, to live out there, the great weather, the wide roads and a place where even the average Joe in the street appreciates a nice car and you aren't made to feel guilty for being a Petrolhead!

Thanks guys (and for the link, LuS1fer, I'll have a decent look tonight from home).
I think I'll use the time between redundancy and my next job wisely, and do a bunch of research.
Oh, and LuS1fer, if I time it right, I may be in the market for the latest shape Mustang around the time you're looking at a new Challenger. So look after yours, I may be after it

The Challenger will be practical, but not THAT practical 
Still, the Mustang and Challenger will make an awsome pair. Gassing Station | Mustangs | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
