Corvette or Mustang

**fish_doc** · 08-16-2005, 07:12 PM

Just cause my comment spun up several other comments on the other thread I thought I would explain it a bit more here.

I said corvettes were overrated. By that I mean that for the 46000 you pay for full blown corvette you could buy 2 full blown mustangs at 24000 a piece and make twice as many people happy.

For the price you get alot more for your money with a mustang.

**Baby_Baby** · 08-16-2005, 07:43 PM

ya but corvettes are cooler so if you're a guy, you'll get twice as many chicks. and if you're a chick, you'll get twice as many guys

**fish_doc** · 08-16-2005, 08:00 PM

Yea but if corvettes are cool what is a Lamborghini Countach? A nice used one is only a few bucks more than the corvette.

I guess one of those gets you a harem. LOL

Pareeeee · 08-16-2005, 09:25 PM

Lamborghini Murcielago is nicer than the Countach

and a corvette is even better!

look at this 1978....*drools* (and you can get the old ones alot cheaper than the new ones

)

Mustankgs by far. You cannot beat them. As a former Mustang owner, once you have one you will never go back. Old, new, and in between it does not matter. Although the new GT's are SSSSSSSWWWWWEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

mrmoby · 08-17-2005, 12:59 AM

I'm a Mustang guy myself. I do like vette's, but older ones. I would never fork over the dough for a brand new one. I could build something insane for that kind of money, and still have money left for gas*lol*. If I was gonna have a Vette it would be a 63 split window, or a 69 or 70 with the big block. Those mid seventies Vettes look nice but they are DOGS!!!!! Wait..... I did have a Vette in the days of my youth............a Chevette........or as I used to like to refer to it as my little Italian sports car ( pronuounced Chevetty)*lol*

And yes, that new Mustang is some piece of work.The engineers at Ford our really doing some great work these days. It has the perfect blend of the old styling cues along with the new technology. In my book, Ford never made a bad Mustang........well.....I take that back, we won't mention 1974- 1978.

Proud owner of a 03 Mustang Premium Coupe.

I love my baby granted corvettes are nice too, which my brother owns a very nice one at that. I used to hate Mustangs then I drove one and well I love it. For the money of a Corvette I can think of lots of other things to do with it including modifying a stang or any other car of my choice for 20k then there is 20k left over to put into the car....

euRasian32 · 08-17-2005, 08:11 AM

my .02

You guys should be comparing camaroes to mustangs, not vettes.

The only mustang candidate that even compares to the vettes' are the SVT Cobra and Roush/Saleen/Steeda models, or the Concept Mustang GT R.

Lydia · 08-17-2005, 08:13 AM

I love mustangs, but I like corvettes better

But what about one of these? They are pretty sweeeeeet!!! http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ist=847#vdptop

euRasian32 · 08-17-2005, 09:21 AM

Nice to look at, but who wants to spend that much money on an unreliable car? If you only knew what I knew about dodge/plymouth/mopar.
A co-worker witnessed someone totalling a Viper just this weekend. It had just started raining and they were making a left too fast and ended up hitting a telephone pole and ended up in a ditch. Wonder what was going through her mind during the tailspin.

My opinion may be swayed by german engineering, lemme give you some examples;

BMW 850Ci Coupe
Featured a 5.4-liter SOHC 24-valve V12 with 322hp @ 5,000 rpm and 361 lb-ft of torque @ 3,900 rpm and a 5-speed automatic transmission.
Porsche 993 Twin Turbo
Porsche 911 GT2
And can't forget the Brits with the Mclaren

**Baby_Baby** · 08-17-2005, 09:52 AM

I love corvettes, great ride, awesome look! mustangs just don't match up to corvettes, and I always ALWAYS ALWAYS hit my head when i go into a mustang (unless it has a poppy roof thingy) and I'm clastraphobic so that just makes it worse. Like if I'm in a corvette, I'm happy, and I don't care about the fact that I might be packed like a sardine. I LOVE CORVETTES!!!!! but uh ya mustangs, i like em a lot, but corvettes are a lot nicer.

guppyart · 08-17-2005, 02:51 PM

sorry I have to say mustangs have way less power than a vette so vette's are way better.

now skylines are better than a corvette and a mustang put together especialy if they are GTR SKYLINES

they are alot of fun to drive, too. But I have to agree with you. It isn't worth it to spend that much money on ANY car IMO. Man that had to suck to total a viper.

The cars I was talking about I would probably never buy one of them. They are nice cars, its just not worth it to me. The only one I would maybe consider is some kind of a BMW because they are really good cars.

My Dad has a Mclaren, and they are pretty sweet.

Lydia · 08-17-2005, 03:00 PM

BTW in case some of you couldn't tell, I was kidding when I said my dad has a Mclaren. He does have a '89 oldsmobile delta 88, which is close enough. lol jk about that too.

Those Mclarens are awesome! But I kind of wonder...people who own those don't actually drive them, do they? It seems like there is waaaaaay too much risk. There are only 72 roadcars made by them and they don't make them any more even!

**Baby_Baby** · 08-17-2005, 03:03 PM

my parents have like good cars, but like they are family cars not "sweet sports cars" LOL

(mercedez benz [or however you spell it] and a Toyota Sienna) the mercedez is actually nice ( not a wood panelled one! lol) but like its kinda old, but it drives nice and was probably expensive. i dunno

AshleytheGreat · 08-17-2005, 04:32 PM

Mustangs are ok, I mean the Saleens are beautiful to look at, esp when they have nice rims and a good exhaust system. I think its pointless to have a nice car IF you dont do SOMETHING with it to make it look better. Its like buying the cheaped porche just to say you had one. As for Corvettes, the new ones look rediculous (Spelling? lol) I mean the front lights ruin the car. But they do have a lot more power then a Stang so ima Corvette fan.

Ron the handyman · 08-17-2005, 04:43 PM

I will stay with my 68 Chevelle SS 396 Four on the floor over any mousetang and would consider a 69 vette. My other toy is a 69 CST 396 long bed truck. Now thats SweeeeeeeeeeT?!!!!!!!!. R.
