Do I sell the Stang before putting any more money into it and import an 08 Vette for about $55k?
I figure if I get a supercharger on the Mustang, with all my mods, total would be just over 50K (suspension, Whipple, wheels, brakes on top of a $34,000 car)
Is a modded mustang a better performing car? Is it a better overall car?

The reason I never persued the Vette at first, was in Canada they retail for $69K starting. The US, I can equip one with Mag ride and transparent roof for just under 50K. Our dollar is on par right now.....so its the best time its ever been to bring one across.

I appretiate any response from owners of modified mustangs and of Corvettes.

Thanks

You will still mod your vette when you get it, so stick with the stangand mod the hell out of it (cheaper).

But good luck with whatever u decide.

What are the costs of importing ? GST, PST, Import tax, Brokerage etcThen there's the KPH-MPH thing whichwill cost you to swap. The Canadian Government aren't going to make it easy man.

I was considering importing a new Saleen into Ontario but it just seemed too much aggo.

If you've got the cash go for the Vette, no matter what you do to a Stang it's not going to measure up to a Vette in total performance. It's going to cost a bunch more than a Stang but it is by all measure a superior car.

I say stick with the mustang. Corvettes IMO are too often associated with old people, posers and insecure single/divorced men. The stang gives you a four seater and the unlimited aftermarket will allow you to pwn vettes, porsches, vipers etc in terms of acceleration and handling.

But hey JMO...

Hindsight if I had to do it all over agan with all the thousands of dollars in suspension, tires and rims, engine work SCing it, custom fiberglass stereo that I put into the trunk. Thinking back on all the checks I have written over the last year I think to myself that hell yes I would do it over again. I have met some pretty cool people and I always, and I mean always turn heads when I pull into a parking lot. Everyone I know my boss (who's late 50's) neighbors (50's) drive vettes. Not to mention you can only have 1 passenger in the car. My favorite part about a back seat is having witnesses when I pull away from other vettes, and yes I can and have beaten the new c6's. I haven't raced the Z06 yet.

I say if you sell the stang your a traitor
even if you don't put people in the back seat you can put a helmut for going to the 1/4 and an umbrela incase it rains and still have space for a passenger
and vettes are for old people or rich kids and they're death traps
