Declaration. I love my GT.
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!
I'm smitten. I live in the UK, but have been exclusively driving US cars for about the last 6 years (3 Corvettes and a Hummer H2), but this is my favorite by qu...

Starbuck, congratulations!!!! you even got the best color combination. I got mine back in October, 2004. I love my stang. Mine has been holding up pretty good (10,500 miles and about 20 passes in the track) No major issues. Enjoy your Pony!!!

You know it doesn't make you stupid or crazy to prefer a Mustang to a Vette. I never have cared for Vettes. And believe me, I am not stupid and I am only a little crazy.

lol. hey MongrelMan, dont feel alone. i know a few guys with corvettes that are still sitting there scratching their heads wondering how in the world my stang is as quick as their vettes too...and refined??? until the c6, i have always thought the vette interiors were quite shabby and plain. you know what i tell those vette owners? including all my mods that put me into the mid-12's, i still havent invested as much into my car as them. in fact, i'm still about 12 grand ahead of them and i own one of the most desired cars in america right now

I didnt say he was stupid to prefer a mustang over a vette at all.... I said that it is a stupid to say that a stang is nearly as fast and more refined than a vette... the 05 has a solid rear axel and the stangs before that were attrocious handlers... how refined is that????

Point conceded. I still woiuldn't trade my Mustang for any Vette made even it is faster than mine. IMO my Mustang is hands down better looking than any old Vette and tons of fun to drive!

RE: Declaration. I love my GT.
Well... I'm not dissing the stang but I have to say this much .. just to keep you real 
Wow.. thats a HUGE statement coming from a Mustang owner! Dont get me wrong, I think the vette interiors could use some improvement and I love the 05 mustang..... but its interior is certainly nothing to write home about; it is now only "tolerable" at best (with A LOT of room for improvement)..... and the mustangs before 05... whoa nelly, dont get me started on those.
thats nice for the quarte mile... but what happenes when you take a run around the track??? thats where a true performance car really shines
Whats the demographic of all these people that desire the Mustang??..... MsDonald's is highly desired by a large number of unhealthy and or out of shape people... does that make it good?
