I knew that was coming and yes for half the price I would get a Zo6. Put cams in it and call it a day..
And if I wanted more I would get this:
Chevrolet | 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 Sport Convertible

well first of all, i said muscle/pony car the corvette is not a pony car, neither does it compete with the mustang, and is also double the price plus some of the mustang, so if thats the best come back you could think of for gm, then like i said mustang wins in that category all the time, and like mentioned before the ford gt was made to compete against the vette, but only in speed, they did not try to out sell the vette, unlike the camaro/t/a/gto, which tried and failed badly, but i would also buy a corvette over the ford gt, the vette is a icon also, i think that the vette is the greatest sports car ever made, but it hasnt been a muscle car since the 70's, the vette's competition is way more fierce than a mustang or t/a or charger, it competes with lambo's, vipers, f430's, ford gt's, and it that class the vette crushes the competition, so like i said before i love both
well the whole point of the mustang was supposed to be the average mans muscle car thats why its half of the price of a vette its not supposed to be a luxury muscle car its the working mans muscle
still cant change my opinon. the only cool mustangs are the cobras, GT500's, and the saleens. But none of those can handle like the c6 zo6 GM still for the win
I would just get a C6 Zo6 and throw on a huge turbo then call it a dayQuote:

I agree with what you are saying though. I have no problem with mustang guy's I may be one myself in the near future. Thinking about getting a fox body for the drag strip.. From my research and my needs that seems to be a very solid bet!
If your gonna run a stang at the track...the Fox body is a good base body to use...which motor are you thinking of using? My dad runs a ' 89 foxbody with a 460 B.B., running 7.6's in the 1/8 very consitantly (no spray)... not the biggest stang fan sorry... im just partial to my gtp ;)

LS1 still FTW :)

"the mustang is a icon so when talking about mustang vs. gto/camaro/t/a or any other car in its class for that fact, how the he!! can you say gm for the win, when it losses in that category every time they try"
"American Muscle Class"
Every American Muscle car is in the same "class" no matter if it's a v6 trans/stang to a gt500/zo6...
fine...VIPER FTW!!! even tho zo6 is problew better. i really dont think gm can be F'ED with when it comes to there performance
ha ha yesssssQuote:

the viper venom on youtube.com spun out at 150mph while going in a straight line racing a porshe GT3..vipers just want to kill you.
im sure alot of cars that are twin turbo'd putting down 1,000hp will break lose at 150 mph. with the right suspension set up and tire combo some of that could be avoided. but your still driving a 1,000hp car...what do you expect

You will be bit in the ass by it more times than you can imagine haha I have seen it happen. :th_winking:Quote:
