True, I've always thought of Vettes as a more well rounded 'sports car' where as a Mustang has always been brute force *even if it's not as good at that brute force part as the sports car corvette is*

No...not really.

As far as taking one over the other. To be honest, after all the f-bodies I've had, the Vette BY FAR is the most talked about. Even my last car, which would beat the ground and set off car alarms everywhere I went. Everyone loves the Vette, even the Mustang guys. I think I'd have to pick a C6 over a GT500 because, afterall, everyone has a Mustang. To the average person, that doesn't know any better, a GT500 is just another Mustang.

I'm more of a function over form kinda guy, which in this case is both cars, but man it's amazing how many people will just line up and look at the Vette over my other f-bodies. Plus it feels like you're driving a overpowered go kart if you decide to turn it.

I love my vette too!!

Yeah I gotta agree...you would think I would get more compliments in my CLS but thats not the case...people love the Z06..They still wanna take pics next to it...

damn vettes are light....but a pos canned tune picks up at least 50whp on the KR. And we won't even get into a smaller pulley

.

Those seemed to be pretty short races...over 120 the vette has a major aero advantage. But a pulleyed KR will put down 600+...

Isn't there some new aluminum block 5.4??? thats the one I want.

yeah, vettes get all the attention. there's no more beautiful car than the C6 corvette, I have to say. they just get better and better looking.

yes, GT500's weren't made to go fast

ah nevermind.

Wow, I thought the GT500KR would do a little better than that. Vettes never fail to amaze me.
