If we are going to be HONEST. I don't see any GM guys bringing up the Vette vs Stang around here. Usually, it's the Mustang s that try to compare their cars to Vettes.

It's dumb either way. Camaro, Mustang, Challenger. Corvette - Viper. FGT - ?Zora?

NW - it happens when talking about LS3 cars getting beat by 5.0s. They like to bring up big brother 2 seater vette.

Do some of you guys have stock in Ford and/or
GM? I would swear you guys did with all of the that goes on in this section. I mean, its not that serious. Plus, neither Ford nor GM gives 2 ***** if you eat tonight.

LOL'ing at the overnight Ford turned Dodge Fanboys. Wishing that Z06 would lose, eh? Atleast the vette doesn't have a damn V6 like the new GT for gosh sakes.

Fair enough, but you can agree that it happens just as much as I stated as well.

Pretty much a pot meet kettle situation.

If you're comparing modded cars in a straight line all that **** goes out the window. Drag/street racing would be pretty boring if you only raced the cars the manufacturer intended to compete against.

Id take one to if you could get a Cummins in it. The 6.4 hemi has plenty of power but fuel mileage sucks ***. Some guys don't even get 12 mpg empty lol.

A cummins would be nice but it would detract from it's offroad capabilities.

I don't get 12 in my truck now....so the mpg is a wash.

I get 13 mpg towing with my 6.7 cummins. My 6.4 cant even manage 8 mpg with the same load. Empty they are pretty close to one another right around 19 mpg.

I disagree. We have only known about the FGT for a month or two now. LS3 Vettes being compared to 5.0s has been going on since 2010. Unless you mean the FGT before that, which the ZR1 was faster than IIRC.

Vettes are a zillion times more common though, too, than GTs which would make sense obviously because there are more of them. I've only seen like 2 FGTs on the street.

I agree with that. Guy who owns a repair shop near me was restoring a Power Wagon from the ground up, '49 I think it was. He's also semi-recently fully restored a beautiful Superbird, completely all original. The only MOPAR's I'd take are the classics and varying generations of the Viper.

Amen to that. When I was in school, one of my friend's dad's friends had a Plum-Crazy Purple '71 Challenger R/T clone and a '68 Dart GTS convertible. Soooo sick. But I'd gladly take any Viper, just because.

Hard to beat the new SRT chargers for the money though. As much as I hate to say it fit and finish is above the last Gen 2 V by a long shot.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree, especially on the LS3 part - almost every time I have seen the Vette in question, it was called out by the Mustang.

Second part I think is silly. FGT (05-06) is in a completely different category of cost and layout altogether than a Corvette. It just so happens that a Z06 was just as capable, in stock form for both cars.
