like everyone is sayin, get the car if you can afford a cheap beater truck to get u thru the snow, u dont want to put the vette or even the mustang thru all that

 

Just read this - haven't read replies.

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMHO

 

IMHO............
if its about the performance only.... add a S/C and some suspension/brake upgrades and your stang will out perform the Vette...

however... if you drive more than 30mins to/fro work..... and it's mostly hwy... I'd say go w/ the Vette...

Stangs are great!! I love mine... but I really considered the Vette first.... (weekend car for me)... but w/ 2 young kids....I needed the back seat!!

The Vette is the great american sports car.... the Stang the great american pony car.....

good luck w/ the decision

 

If I needed a backseat and better ground clearence, then I'd go with the Mustang. I also think the Mustang is more comfortable. If you're looking for luxury features, performance, and mileage, then you should buy the Corvette.

I've owned two Corvettes, a 1971 and currently a 2000. I'm currently daily driving my C5. The S197 comes out of the garage when I need a backseat or a more comfortable ride. I truly enjoy both cars and would absolutely hate to choose between them.

The Mustang can be made to outperform the Corvette in a straight line, but that's true for any vehicle. Not in the corners, though, the Corvette is going to be superior. In addition there are gadgets that can't be modded...I actually like the Vette's active handling system, telescoping wheel, and HUD, for example.

I've driven a C6 before and it's even better than my C5. Much nicer interior, too!

The Mustang is going to be more practical in many ways. The Corvette should work OK in light snow with the proper tires. I think the Corvette would be awful in deep snow. If you find yourself plowing through several inches and you can't afford a beater (or walk to work, take a bus, etc.), then you should probably stick to the Mustang.

If you do a lot of highway driving, then the Corvette is going to get better mileage. It has a bigger tank too, so a better range. In the city, though, you probably won't notice that much difference between the Corvette and the Mustang.

I'd go over to the Corvette Forum and ask them about their C6's and the snow. It's a relatively common discussion thread over there.

Good luck with your decision. You can't really go wrong with either car.

 

I would only trade my stang in ffor it if its a z06. So i hope you mean a z06 vet and not just a plain jane reg. one.

 

I think the one thing everybody is overlooking, his sig says GT500, not just another stang but a freakin Shelby GT500.

 

If you're driving a GT500 as a DD in winter in NJ, what's the difference between that and a Corvette? Get the Vette and be happy. If you can call a cab or bum a ride from a co-worker if it should snow.

 

IMO, keep the Mustang. Corvettes are not so great. Personally, I've never seen the big attraction to Corvettes.

 

i think they but suck in the snow i live on long island i would get the vette man good luck

 

Not sure what you mean by plane Jane? The plane Jane C6 outperforms the GT-500. Not to mention that they've already produced more 2005+ Mustangs than they have Corvettes from 1997 to 2008. I love Mustang, but it's gotten to be a fairly common car (which is why I modded mine!).
