I could give a fuck about rare. Unless you are rich nothing is rare. I like the mustang because its relatively comfy, has a decent trunk, and makes gd power that doesnt cost an arm and a leg to acquire.

Its only NEW for about 16 seconds.
nice as in loaded up with shit. I looked and the ones I wanted were all mid to high 30s. No I didnt get a last year deal like Steve or other people cause I wasnt looking seriously, just what I gathered in my few weeks of research.
The whole point is the prices are a lot closer than people think. Just cause you see a 20 y/o kid in a C6Z doesnt mean he paid 70-100 grand for it...

I like newer for the warranty. This is my first newer car but im used to the older stuff. Couldnt own a Vette. Insurance is too high for me and it just doesnt suit me.

FYI, insurance is cheaper on a Vette than a Mustang. Unless you yourself have like 10 tickets or accidents. The insurance is based off the general population as a whole, and Mustang owners wreck and get stolen more often than Vette owners (since more of them are older and driven less).
Insurance on my 08 Vette in 09 (when I bought it) was 40 bucks a month LESS than my 04 Cobra. lmfao... The vette was worth about 10 grand more resale value and 15-18 more KBB too.

No, didn't make it out last night. I'll get there eventually! I don't think getting mine to trap 128-130 on my track tune should be too hard based on what I'm reading....

high 20s low 30s sounds about right if you hook well. At 577 rw I went 128 mph in about 3600 lbs... and I was sliding around a lot not making momentum. You are a little heavier but will have better traction and an auto...

Oh I agree there for sure. A C6 and new 5.0 are very similar pricing though.

As much as I hate on Chevy's, I do like the C6's. I needed a backseat though and I've always been a Mustang guy.

Oh there are pros and cons of both for sure. Very similar price its just a preference thing. If I want a back seat, I'd rather have a sedan

This post was not meant for a Mustang vs Corvetter debate. I just wanted to know how fast they were since I just raced one.
