lol thats what i thought. skidpad are just as valid as top speed numbers when comparing these 2 cars.

Oh lawd, here we go. Somebody call the whambulance, its not the Mustangs fault they put that motor in that car and charge that much money for a name.

chrisheltra · 12-23-2013, 08:20 PM

Why the fuck is the mustang even being brought up in this thread is beyond me. I just posted the vid because I thought it was cool as hell.

lol im not crying. the vette would still whip it on a road course, and probably runs about the same 1/4 mile times as the average gt500 driver.

i figured erectile dysfunction was when you pay $60k for a $30k mustang with a blower and some nicer wheels so you could say you had a gt500.

Different interior, different motor, blower, wheels.. I can go on and on. But the fact you think it's just a blower and wheels, tells me I don't need to.

BIRDMAN · 12-23-2013, 09:48 PM

*sigh*

It's top speed is only 195mph.

Well I'd say thats a bit more distance than the vette had. Just sayin'.

If someone tried that in the real world, then they'd probably run out of gas before getting to that top speed. lol

I like all this "the mustang is cheaper" talk....from Edmunds:

Today's 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 is essentially the same as last year. The 2014 edition carries a base price of $55,595, but our test car has the $3,495 SVT Performance package for the Torsen limited-slip diff, Bilstein two-mode dampers, uprated springs, stabilizer bars and forged wheels. Another $2,995 went for the SVT Track package and its engine, diff and transmission coolers.

Tack on $2,340 for navigation and dual-zone climate control, $1,595 for leather Recaro sport seats and $395 for Ruby Red metallic paint. It adds up to $66,415.

Our 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 has the Performance Traction Management system and the electronically regulated "eLSD" limited-slip differential. At $54,795 it starts out cheaper than a GT500. The performance exhaust ($1,195) is good for racy sounds and the last 5 hp and 5 lb-ft of torque. Magnetic Selective Ride Control ($1,795) is GM's version of two-mode adaptive damping.

Chevy wants $8,005 for the Preferred Equipment package that adds navigation, an upgraded stereo, head-up display, heated and cooled seats and leather everywhere. Our car also sported $3,090 worth of carbon-fiber dress-up options.

Total damage: $69,375. But if we subtract the superfluous carbon baubles the price falls to $66,285, some $130 cheaper than the Shelby GT500.

Most people who hate on vettes cant afford them. simple as that. They usually say its a midlife crisis. Haters

DIGGLER · 12-24-2013, 12:18 PM

lmao at the gt500 costing more..... my thing is its still based off of a mustang gt, which can be had for $25k. a decked out gt500 package adds $40k worth of options? i know its a badass car, but that is steep. im glad ford loyalists are happy to pay that much for one.

People say that about all cars regardless of make and model

I hate on vettes because performance wise they aren't very impressive for the most part. Stock or modified

Now there are definitely some nasty vettes out there but most of them are meh, including the one in this thread

just think how nasty a corvette could be for the money you have in your car. you could have a vette running what your car does now for less then the initial purchase price of your gtr.

blkscls1z · 12-24-2013, 03:45 PM

Vettes are Junk, Ugly, Slow, Overpriced, Unimpressive and just all around Gay!

ForceFed4g63 · 12-24-2013, 03:47 PM

Love me some gtr' s but saying vettes aren't impressive for the money is just plain silly.

DIGGLER · 12-24-2013, 04:05 PM

that is the by far the dumbest thing that has been posted in this thread as of yet.
