Of course I'd side with you. Your car is car more practical, too. Besides, fiberglass is not good material from which to build a car. The Vette's doors will sag soon, cracks will appear, and that car will begin rattling and clunking. You made the best buy. There, I hope I gave you some ammunition with which you can torment him.

i agree Stangs are much more practical than Vettes. they have a "free-er" feeling to them too. Vette's have just gone off the deep-end. come back to something that looks and feels like a REAL car.

You are out of your freaking mind if you'd choose a mustang over a c5 vette.

The vette is a dramatically better performance car than a mustang.

I love this arguement you can buy the vette and have a faster car that is stock but who leaves there car stock. Collectors and wusses(no offence to anyone just a belief) but if you bought the mustang and spent the difference on upgrades such as suspension and heads, blower or what ever $25,000 will buy for it the mustang will perform as good if not better than the vette and it will have it's own personal touch. also you can stick 3 chicks in a mustang verses 1 for a vette.

You can run low 10's on a vette with no nitrous, and no boost, on the stock short block, and drive the car home and still get 28+mpg. Do that in a stang!

Have you driven a Ford lately??? No seriously my 2000 gt convertable rattled and clunked more than any car I ever owned or drove(except for maybe a pinto). This thread cracks me up. Obviously you are going to like the car you own as will he. Am I sorry I got rid of the GT----not a chance.

C-5 or stang? Hands down C-5...C-5 vs Saleen S281E or S351 SR...no comparison, Saleen...the funny thing is, you can buy an '04 cobra for about 7-10k cheaper then a C-5...and stanger351 is correct, kinda hard to fit more then one chick in a vette...

BTW, I've owned a couple of vettes in the past and really liked them, but there are a 1.3 vettes out rolling around, and thats 1.299 million more then I care to know. I enjoy any sports car or hot rod, but some just seem to grab my attention more then others and a vette just dont do it for me anymore. Been there had 'em, will never own another one again.
