ever known anyone that owns a vette? they all say the same thing.
every time you look at the car, throw $100 at it.
thats because everything on them is so expensive, you need deep pockets to maintain or modify them.I'm hoping the price of Shelbys, GT500s and other Mustangs will come down when the competition comes out.
I am surprised to see so many response in such a short time for this thread. Ford got it right with the S-197 Mustang and car makers are taking notice. The Vette is a bad ass no doubt, but as a daily driver it is not practical. For the same amount of money, you could buy a lexus sport sedan with almost similar performance, but with more practicality.
Dodge got it right with the new challenger-if they stay true to form. Now if Dodge can do something about the Charger. I will probably buy the new Challenger under certain conditions. First, the price has to be right. Second, I ain't giving up my Mustang. Third, well it has to look good.
I stopped reading your bs after the 1st line.. The Roush lost to a stock C6 on a track, your car would not be as fast as the Roush in this case, ergo NO your car isn't as fast as a C6..
and if Ford comes out with that Ferrari looking Mustang in 2010, i will have to convert back to a Chevy, or maybe even go Mopar. and the Mustang needs some competition anyway, right now it is the only rear wheels drive car in the sports car arena minus the Corvette, and it's too expensive to me for no more car than it is...

i personally can't wait to look into one myself. it and the new Camaro. i know, this is a Ford site, but come on, who can't resist a retro Camaro and Challenger with over 400hp? i was born a Chevy man, but converted, and if Ford comes out with that Ferrari looking Mustang in 2010, i will have to convert back to a Chevy, or maybe even go Mopar. and the Mustang needs some competition anyway, right now it is the only rear wheels drive car in the sports car arena minus the Corvette, and it's too expensive to me for no more car than it is...
The Challenger looks awesome and I would drive one anyday.
I love my mustang but my Vette was a MUCH better car! Bought it the next model year(was 2000 Hardtop purchased in '01) for $35k with 5k miles. I sold the car with 25k miles to buy a different vehicle and regretted it since. ZERO problems, only things I had to purchase for the car were the upgrades I bought. So the comments bout having to throw money at the Vette are crap. Unlike my Mustang which came with problems like the fuel pump and suspension clunk that eludes many people. Since the Vette is a penis car I bet those guys that drive Geo Metros must be hung like horses.
Not all people that own Vettes are necessarily people a Mustang owner would associate with. It's not like I switched friends or didn't hang out with my stang buddies when I got a Vette. I agree some Vette owners may be stuck-up but not all. Thats like some Vette owners saying Mustang's are cheap POS's. Negative comments from people about Vettes generally stem from the people that aren't able to get one for one reason or another. There are people that simply don't like them but that doesn't make them crap.
