01 GTP vs 98 Mustang GT 4.7L



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 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

I would just get a C6 Zo6 and throw on a huge turbo then call it a day

I do believe you said that the Ford is better than anything GM makes.. I did not know there were hidden exclusions in there... A car is a car, no matter if you can afford it or your neighbor.. Makes no difference. We were comparing stock: Ford to Chevrolet.. No one said anything about a budget..
The corvette>any new/old muscle

So how much does a new gt500 run these days??

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 ;)

I never said that ford is better than anything gm puts out, dont twist my words around, i was simply stating that the mustang and the vette are not in the same class, and i did give props to gm when i said that the corvette was a better deal than the ford gt, but i did say cubic inch to cubic inch the ford is usually faster, such as 351 vs. 350 and 302 vs. 305, so please dont twist around what i said, and a gt500 is still no where near the price of a vette, if you go msrp hard top gt500 is 43,000 and a z06 is 77,000 not saying you can get either one brand new for that price because of the dealer mark ups but thats the true price, i've sold both before

"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
 


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

o fo show you know i have been pondering when i eventually get my gtp where i need it to be i will get a vanity plate that says stngkllr

It might sound cool now, but it is ALWAYS a bad idea to have a custom license plate that says "*insertanyothercarhere*KLR" on it unless you have the car to more than back it up (ie around here it would have to be a 10 or 11 sec car to justify it, because there are a LOT of quick Mustangs around). You will be bit in the ass by it more times than you can imagine haha I have seen it happen. :th_winking:
 
^^^^^^ i agree. not everyone is stock...plus they have to keep up with the LS1 guys so they already have some good compitition
