You shoulda kept the Cobra, at least it is becoming sorta rare... Oh well, live and learn right?

I could give a fuck about rare. Unless you are rich nothing is rare. I like the mustang because its relatively comfy, has a decent trunk, and makes gd power that doesnt cost an arm and a leg to acquire.

FYI, insurance is cheaper on a Vette than a Mustang.

Unless you yourself have like 10 tickets or accidents. The insurance is based off the general population as a whole, and Mustang owners wreck and get stolen more often than Vette owners (since more of them are older and driven less).

Insurance on my 08 Vette in 09 (when I bought it) was 40 bucks a month LESS than my 04 Cobra. lmfao... The vette was worth about 10 grand more resale value and 15-18 more KBB too.

a Cobra stands out in the fleet of new 5.0s at a car show... Thats all I was getting at. I like to be different, not just like my 15 friend's cars. Thats why when all my friends HAD Cobras, I had bling fucken Orange, to at least stand out... I didnt go buy a black or white one and put black wheels on it.

Edit, also, my wife's car is rare, its cheap and gets a shit ton of compliments. Its also faster than a stock 5.0.

My buddy had one of those orange cobras. Supposed to be pretty rare from what he said. I havent been to a meet in sometime. I know if i do I will blend in which sucks but with imports it was the same save for my rx7.

Oh I agree there for sure. A C6 and new 5.0 are very similar pricing though.

re-rx7 · 06-01-2013, 01:42 PM

Daily wise I choose the stang. Used c6 or a new car? Plus vettes ar price when shit dies. I think mike had to replace a plug wire. $30+tax one wire. Fudge cicle.

As much as I hate on Chevy's, I do like the C6's. I needed a backseat though and I've always been a Mustang guy.

**Junkie** · 06-01-2013, 02:07 PM

Oh there are pros and cons of both for sure. Very similar price its just a preference thing. If I want a back seat, I'd rather have a sedan

**Doug1227** · 06-01-2013, 02:08 PM

This post was not meant for a Mustang vs Corvetter debate. I just wanted to know how fast they were since I just raced one.

Vettes dont hold value for shit because they are over priced and dealers give them away (the right ones do anyway)... so it's easy to pick up a nice one at a cheap price. Ask Steve, he looked for a while, he knows they are all over cheap as chips. I love Mustangs, but Id rather have a lightly used Vette for half the price (vs a Shelby, Id never be happy in a stock 5.0).

I guess i should have had you find me a 08+ vette auto with under 30k miles when I was looking last year for $30k or under. I couldn't find one anywhere modded or stock. I didn't really want a manual but I only found a couple of those in that price range. I looked for few months on all the forums ebay autotrader etc..

Here's how I did in the 1/8th against a c6z06 not my best pass but I was on a set of old 18's with drag radials. I was spinning some in first and both of the shifts spun pretty bad but it was a close race. With the instant hit of your PD blower you should get in the 10s pretty easily.
