It's what is more practical for YOU. I thought the same thing thinking I needed the backseat for my kids when I bought the Mustang instead of the Vette in reality when I take it out I'm usually by myself or rare occasion my wife or 5 yr old little girl rides with me. But when we all go out together we always take my truck cuz the baby seat for my 8 month old has to face to the rear which doesn't fit well in the Mustang. So its really as practical as a Corvette is at this point for ME.

LOL! You can't deny a Corvette ins't less practical period. Its not a matter of opinion its fact. Even if you could afford 10 Vettes, in terms of price a Mustang is more practical (then you could probably buy 20 mustangs lol).

The fact you can fit the seat into a Mustang too makes it more practical, not saying it will be comfortable though. You couldn't even attempt that with a Vette.

Nah, old retired guys generally have back problems so they need a regular car more than anyone lol. Completely agree a Mustang is without a doubt, more usable than a Corvette. I hated driving my car downtown and often times just wouldn't since the roads there seem to have been sharknadoed. Even with my lowered Mustang, I can "access" more of the car more frequently. If that makes sense.

Who gives a funk about back seats. My Stangs have always been too low to carry more than one person. Had 5 chick's and my best friend in it once on way to a party, it was sitting on the bump stops with me and my friend weighing long 140 each and the fattest girl weighing 110. Lol

You kind of did that to yourself lowering it. I've had 3 other adults in my car on the stock suspension no problem. Its tight but it works. Defiantly not what I would ever consider for a long trip.

Well yea, my point was all stangs should be dragging nuts, they are almost sports cars. The back seats are worthless, just to have them to sell the cars as practical when they aren't really.

Ya I agree, its usable but hovering in the realm of not being practical. My point is a Mustang IS more practical than a Vette in every aspect. Arguing anything different is just silly to me.

I wouldn't say the backseats are all that practical since they are really only useable to kids or midgets. It does have a really good sized trunk though.

Strokd had one of the baddest Comp Orange Cobras I've ever seen.

Womack still has an extremely sexy Sonic Blue Cobra.

They both should post pics of them.
