RE: What to do??
my friend bought a 99 vette for 17k... i would keep looking for one.. his has 80k miles on it though but the ls1's last a long time.... his is the a4 though and its got z06 rims, some other looks mods, and a borla catback... car looks real good and looks mean... just wish it could keep with the stang... haha.

RE: What to do??
Thats a really tough decision. A Vette is just more of a prestigous car... They have the "wave" in the Vette world and they always joke around saying that if I was to wave to every Mustang I saw, my arm would fall off (since I am a previous owner), which is so true because I see probably 5 stangs every day, compared to the 4 Vettes I have seen since Ive owned it.
Vettes have much more potential, the LS engines are much better and more responsive and built for power as said before.
Thats a tough decision... I would take a nice built up blown GT, but then again, a nice Vette is very hard to turn down... Nothing compared to a Stang.

a vette or any LSX motor for that matter is purpose built for POWER and Speed. Its a superior car and motor in every way.

RE: What to do??
yea im in the vette forums and thats all i hear is "my vette is down again" or "its in the shop again" I also hear about a lot of problem with the electronics on the vettes, mustangs dont break as much but as of right now i am leaning toward a saleen blower for the stang

My Vette just hit 100K and still running strong... No problems til this point Or...
My Vette is in the shop AGAIN, because shes being retuned and modded for another 100 rwhp.
Half the time you see those shop stories is because someone violated someone else's property (their vette) and it was damaged so it needs to be repaired because people have no respect.
Yes, you always hear the... My Vette is making squeaking noises again, but my Stang did plenty of that. Im completely bias now because I own one, but I am still a die hard Stang lover too. The Vette is just a completely different car. The rush of driving one is soo uncomparable its not even funny, and like I said, the response factor to the mods is unreal.

Mustang = Paid off, and all you would have to do now is build a bad *** engine that would eat the Vette
Corvette = Mid-life crisis mobile, overpriced, and as a 98, under-equipped...
I'm not just biased. It makes too much sense to hold on to what is paid off... You can throw a Cobra engine in there for what you'd pay for the vette, and then it's all exponential performance after that...

Well corvettes arent overpriced, but they will hold there value way more than a stang will, you can still get a 1990 for 10,000 and the other month i saw a 94 for 14000. I still have a month and a half to make my mind up but i still dont know...
