Dude hate to tell you but 8k wont get you that great of a GT. Your definally looking at getting a high millage 94-98. If you wait and save up some cash then you might be able to get a 1999 to 2000 GT with decient amount of miles.

Either get a 5.0L and save on the insurance and over all price, or try to find a 99+ GT, but stay away from the 96-98 4.6L engines, they're a super pain to make fast and you will not get the insurance break on them like you will the 95s and older, but good luck trying to find one of those.
