Well I think that you have to compare them when your talking $$$$'s they are about the same price so your talking bang for your buck.

in regards to "bang for the buck" with new cars, it's almost unfair to compare anything to a C6 Corvette seeing as how you can get a base 1LT model for 39K at the right dealership. Nothing can touch it at that price point. You have to spend another 30K+ to find something that will beat it and even then your just talking about the Z06 Corvette.
Yep!
YOu know if the GT500 was a better preforming car I dont have a problem saying it I have a ford dodge chevy and pontiac I'm not partial to any brands.
But on that note why cant these guys admit that the car is better I mean come on!! haha.
Its like their ego is way to big they will never admit that A car that caust near is much is just over all better.
I love the GT500 it looks sweet but come on!!!

its apples to oranges, but i guess people have to continue the ford vs. chevy thing, even though gm doesnt have a pony car, or any car in competition w/ the mustang for that matter.

I don't think you are correct. MMFF got 12.2 out of the GT500 stock. I don't think a car that weighs as much with 123 less BHP is going to run a 12.2even with sticky tires. The 07 427R runs 13.0 on stock tires and to my knowledge is not available with an auto.
You have a link to that MMFF article?

Ok I give in the Vett even though its the same price as the GT500 give or take, Is way out of Ford league and we shouldent even compare them because they are way better, does that sound better?
lol
YOu have to compare them, I compare the Vett to all sports cars because the vett for now is the standard.

amen to that. 
...Just go to any "speciality" car fourm and what car usually is the measuring stick when it comes to the "what do I need to beat this" question, it's the Corvette. Love or hate it, it's the car everyone wants to beat and it's the car that people get most excited about when they beat one.

I was waiting for someone to say that...
There are definitely faster things out there but I like what I got. Spent less then 50K between car and mods and I can run with cars that cost 2X that or more. Very, very short list of new cars that can say that.

Its a sports car haha the camaro SS could have been optioned out to hit 40 in 02, with discounts you can get a C6 today for just a hair under 40 the mustang GT500 I've seen for 48,000.
The Mustang has 2 back seats but who the hell can fit back their, so its impratical to say its a 4 seater and thats why you bought it haha. I mean come on. I think its an ego thing I bet that 100% of the guys that owne a GT500 think that its faster than a vett because of it 500 hp over the verry small amout of 400 hp that the vett has haha.
Ok then whats fair to compare then my 01 camaro to a 08 GT500? Well maby with my car not fair but stock form? a stock 02 camaro for 24,000 with 350 hp or so to a GT500 for 48,000 with 500 hp? Might not be fare but I still compare them.
