New car advice?

Right now I have a 1991 Jaguar XJ6, seen here.
(Mine's white)
It does the job for now, and it has a nice 4.0 liter I-6 and Pirelli racing tires. It can take itself to 60 in about 7 seconds and 100 in about 13-14. Drawbacks: it takes premium gas and wieghs 5000 pounds, around any corner it screeches and it sways dramatically because of the wieght. The point of it is to kind of be a training car, so I could learn on it. Well, I've done a good amount of learning, and done pretty much anything you can do in it, including hitting 153 on the way to vegas once. (My dad was in the car and it was 1 am, still irresponsible of him, but don't judge ) My brother who is a year older than me used the same car for a few months, then he got a 2007 V6 mustang with 12k miles on it for about 21k.
I am 17, and I'm looking for a new car. My dad is kinda rich so i have between 20-25k to use.
Should I wait it out and buy a V6 Camaro, say next february, buy a (god forbid) V6 challenger, or try to take my stepmom's 07 Mustang GT. I can also go used by a couple of years, I was thinking of getting a 04 GTO or something of that nature, with low milage of course.
And please, do not come in here with "spoiled kid's these days" talk.
I've seen it before and I work hard at school and my political involvement. I have a lot more going on than the normal 17 year old.
I like the punch of a muscle car, and I'm really into engines in general. On top of that, I'm going to love customizing my car, even if it is a V6 into the only one of it's kind on the road.
Sorry about the two topics so close to each other in time, I have been lurking for a very long time and have a lot to say on the subject of the Camaro.
