lol, i dont think the OP wont mind, i think we answered his question pretty good.... As for modding... well everyone i know is talking crap because now that i got a car with great potential i dont wanna mod it.... i made the mistake on my last 3 cars and i wanna stick to my plan on this one.... on my 01 v6 mustang i bought it and a year later i blew every warranty i had.... car dyno'd at like 140ish stock and when i was done with it i dyno'd at over 330 to the wheels lol.... then i said i would hold off modding on my next car...... so i bought a 2005 evo 8..... well i held off alrght..... yeah 2 months of owning the car i had a full TBE, BC, Intake and tune adn i was running 12's at the track launching at 6500 all day... that was fun, but i blew my warranty on that too... i got rid of it cause i knew that if i kept driving that car that i would have eventually broke something costly on that car.... so then i got the 07 mustang gt and said i wouldnt mess with that one...... six months later i got a brenspeed tune with mac boom tubes and new motor mounts.... So as you can see i cant keep a promise to myself... but this car i seriously wanna keep, so its possible that stock might be the life of this car.... with so many modding this car there wont be to many stock ones i think... not saying i wont have fun in this car, this car is so much fun stock... well only time will tell...

when the GT500 first came out I noticed the pedal was quite a bit heavy, especially when compared to a stock GT. We compared the 2 cars side by side at the new auto show. Then I tried the clutch on the new Corvette and it was significantly lighter.

Still, I would not want to get stuck in heavy traffic with either.

yeah, i got stuck in 4hrs of traffic and that was to move a total of 20 miles, sucked big time..... but its definately worth the trade off to have it be able to hold all that power
