#69 of 108 Shelby Mustang vs Vette C 06, not the Z 06 by pony_pirate Dec 03, 2005 (12:01 pm)
The comparison is between the Shelby GT 500 Mustang (around 450 HP) to the Vette C 06 (400 HP), both base priced less than $50k. The comparison is not between the GT 500 Mustang and the Vette Z 06 (500 HP), which starts at above $60k and is routinely sold at around $70-79k. The Z 06 should be compared not to the Shelby GT 500 Mustang, but to the Porsche 911, which it loses to because of the better handling and traction offered by the 911's rear mounted engine (read the reviews). (Personally, I would buy a Z 06 over a 911 anytime.)   As for appreciation, I'm thinking over the long term, as a long-term investment, as a low-mileage vintage car, in, say, 10-15 years. If you buy a Shelby Mustang and put it in the garage, I bet it will be worth at least 3 times what you paid for it, adjusting for inflation, in 10 years. Can that be said for a C 06, a comparably priced and powered car?   I see a hell of lot more '04 and '05 Vettes on the road than even stock GT Premiums, and compared to the Mustang GT Premium, the GT 500 Shelby will be rare as hen's teeth.   Lastly, there are hell of lot more used '05 Vettes for sale in the paper than '05 GT Premiums.
#70 of 108 vetts are not fun to drive by 213kid Dec 31, 2005 (9:28 pm)
The mustangs are more fun to drive. I know i have had 3 vetts. Now i own a vintage mustang and a late model mustang. The mustangs i have now are so much fun to drive. Plus Mustangs are made by ford.   Plus i dont suffer the indignity of driving a chevy or worse an import yikes Replies to this message: johnevette (Jul 30, 2006 6:45 pm) rorr (Aug 01, 2006 6:56 am) scmustang01 (Aug 07, 2008 12:26 am)

will probably succumb soon, and buy a vette, to park next to my tang.
#78 of 108 Get The Vette, as old as a 2001 by rondittmer Jun 26, 2006 (10:23 am)
If you want to save some money, consider a Corvette as old as a 2001. For 2001, GM made many improvements compared to the 2000 model year. The 2001-2004 Vettes are about the same. The mustang-GT just won't provide the joy and thrill of any C5 Corvette. I own a 2001 Corvette convertible. I've test driven Mustangs. I know the Mustang is a nice car. But the Vette just does so much more to the driver. Replies to this message: pony_pirate (Jun 26, 2006 5:52 pm) 2k05gt (Jul 07, 2006 5:09 am) johnevette (Jul 29, 2006 6:07 am) and 4 more...
