Btw, if the Vette has any competition with a Mustang, it's only the Shelby GT500 (if that). Some regular Joe Blow GT Mustang won't do **** to a Vette.

And despite what they like to tell you, a GT500 ain't no Mustang. It's got a mustang shell around it, but its a different car.

But it performs very sub par like a mustang. Good enough

I don't know. What do you wanna call it? I call it a Shelby.

I knew people were gonna be all "WTF?... How's it not a Mustang?" Well, Technically it is, but it's on a completely different level than a 5.bro.


I like how when a 5.bro beats or runs similar to a vette, Ford guys be like "LoL, Mustangs are better than your shitty Vette!". Then if the mustang gets freight trained, same people are like "well it's a Mustang, of course the Vettes a better car!". It can't be both ways depending on the current example people. And no, I don't act that way about GM cars vs. Ford cars, so that argument means nothing to me. It is what it is, and when you begin modding a car, it's class designation no longer matters.


That wasn't a rant at you Islander, just ranting in general.

Lol....not the old fgt. It was a joke. Hopefully furd does well with the new one. But it will be a $300+k car.



Mustangs had a 4 year run of being competitive. .....kinda. But not really.

A GT500 is a mustang just like a ZR1 is a corvette. Doesn't matter how much "additional performance" the ZR1 has over a base corvette, you can't alter the fact that it's still just a C6. I'll be the last one to bash a Mustang of any kind, but far too many people sum up an entire vehicle's worth by their acceleration. It's just annoying when any sort of mustang beats X car then the X car is a POS despite any other positive aspects. I actually had someone try to convince me that a car that's faster in the 1/4 mile would be faster around a track too. There are many ways to measure the worth of a vehicle and it's sad to see any car be reduced to a singular aspect... which happens far too often.

That's probably the same thing guys driving a Miata say.

Good post.......this is why i consider the 5gen to be the better car vs the 5br0. The only place the 5br0 can even compete is in a straight line. So msny other performance aspects to consider.

It's on a different level hence the price tag. Let's see a n/a street car vette do 280+ in a standing Mile
