What forums are you guys looking on....? Because Im a member on CorvetteForum.com and theres been posts these last couple days about....
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.
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

Can you live with a car that doesn't have a backseat? I know I couldn't; only exception would be a '65 Cobra 427 or a replica of one. Ultimately though, what is it that YOU want? The key to happiness is not giving an F about what other people like or think...

RE: What to do??
Handling? If you want your car to go in a straight line a blown stang will take a vette, but a stock vetter will take most stangs. Then again, can you put a mustang into a 90 degree turn at 60mph without losing traction? even at 50mph without losing traction. The lateral gs in a corvette are much higher and will be a much better track racer than your stang. But if you want to drag it, and drive it calmly then go ahead blown stang all the way.
And calculate your power to weight ratio a blown stang like 350hp / 3600lbs. corvette?
