RE: Declaration. I love my GT.
in some ways, i agree with you but on the other hand, in some ways i dont...no need to make this a debate though. it all boils down to personal preference. in a nut shell, you just cant compare a vette to a mustang. in that aspect, why dont YOU compare a vette to a porche??? see, there just isnt any comparison. before, the vette was the best bang for the buck sports car, but that title very may have well been taken over by the new stang. 25000 for a 300HP car with a nice interior and attractive styling vs. 45000 for a 350HP car (C5) with IRS??? is that different rear end really worth double the price tag??? i honestly couldnt tell you when, if ever, i will hop on a track and run circles. i have a much better chance of meeting one on I45. i guess if you have the money, then more power to you. in my case, i cant crap out 25000 extra bucks so i went with the stang (my personal preference)

I would hope that the Vette would have a better interior for $20,000 more. I am quite happy with the interior of my car after all it's the best bang for your buck by far in my opinion.When I bought it I did not thank I was getting a Lincoln.

RE: Declaration. I love my GT.
All this "Corvette VS Mustang" talk is boring. Who cares. People here drive mustangs. This post was about how happy a person was with their Mustang. But some Jerk has to come along and spout out "Corvette this and Corvette that". Stupid. Here is one of the biggest differences between the cars; today I took my wife and our two kids to the zoo. Yeah. FOUR people. Try doing that in a Vette.

Why dont we just try and NOT reply to this guys posts being negative - his post was just telling us how damn happy he is with his new Stang, so why diss him for thinking his ride is more refined! I agree with everything he said although I am biassed as I have always hated Corvettes - the shape/interior, you name it I havent liked it (the new model is an improvement though I admit!).....this is the best damn car in the world and it rocks - the interior is is perfect, I wouldnt change a thing and the exterior other than the side mirrors/antenna is perfect!
MongreMan - sound like you are in the wrong forum, why dont you go buy yourself a Vette!!!

OMG. This car is juuuust brilliant! It looks better in the flesh than it does in photos, feels very big and solid, is sooooo much more refined than my Corvette C5, is very nearly as quick as the corvette, and just **sounds** delicious! I haven't even turned on the stereo yet!

Nope - 1982 Crossfire Injection Corvette, then 1997 Automatic C5, then 2000 Manual C5. Never owned a C4 - thought they looked like a wedge of cheese.

I agree with what you said but sometimes I feel I have to defend the the GT It's always been for me anyway GM against Ford well you know where I stand. I will always take the bait when that subject comes up.
