Replying to: 213kid (Dec 31, 2005 9:28 pm) WITH THE MUSTANG GT500 475HP ALL FORD MOTORS ARE GARBAGE. WITH OUT A SUPERCHARGER! THERE NO BETTER THAN TUNA IMPORT! ITS JUST NOT IN THE ENGINE! OUT OF THE BOX THE VETTE IS MUCH BETTER. ALL AROUND EXCEPT GROUND CLEARANCE!! BIG WOOP THE MUSTANGS NEEDA SUPERCHARGER!!!! TO GET ALL THAT HP! THE GM'S MOTOR DONT NEED IT! AND IF IT HAD IT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT 600HP+ CAN A MUSTANG PULL A 0.9 TO 1.0 GEE TURN? GM DID IT RIGHT! AGAIN,

johnevette, typing in all caps makes it look like you're shouting, and I'm sure that's not your intention. Everyone, I'm sure there are grammar/syntax/punctuation forums somewhere on the Internet, but they're not here. Let's stick to discussing cars and not each other. Thanks. |

Well, since we may also be talking maintenance, and overall long term costs involved, I guess one could also consider getting the C4 Corvette. The C5 is great, no doubt, but it also upped the cost of ownership. Lots of the changes to the design mean new added costs from tires, shocks, transmission work on up. Since a Mustang GT will be lower overall for parts, but a bit higher in insurance cost. I still like the '04 Stang looks wise, but that's another story - different day. Oh yeah, looks wise on the C4 vs C5, some may say a more trim buttocks. I like'em both. Getting in and out is more of a chore with the C4. But I like the smaller rims, and well just less cost of repairs. And the prices are pretty good these days on say the 1992 and older. Agree??? -Loren
