Has Mich Cup tires which usually are run on track cars. Check out its history. And those tires will not last long ont the street. But you could sell them as they are very expensive.

Wasn't there a warranty for the heads issue? And I read about the issue either coming up within 10k miles or so, or you wont have it. So much contradictory BS on here!! ugh!

RWD_tech

This is what I read.

You can forget most of that. You'll need to have the heads checked and repaired immediately if needed.

Most that are checked need repair.

There is a recent thread of an apparent dropped valve in a 59K mile car, so there ya go. See https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ds-butttt.html but I wouldn't bother with reading much more than the first post (it goes downhill pretty quick; usual suspects).

No warranty for the heads issue other than the standard GM warranty (assuming the car has not been modified or raced, GM and dealer may or may not be more generous) and maybe an aftermarket warranty (some cover it, some may not).

Well damn...that's about enough to scare me out of the C6Z idea

Just figure add $3k or so to get it fixed. Just needs to be taken into account. These are not cheap cars to own. Tires, brakes, fluids, valve guides, oil changes, etc all wear and need replaced to keep the car operating at factory levels. If you can't or don't want to deal with that stuff on a regular basis, a different car maybe best.

Don't let these nay sayers get to ya man. There is a certain risk of dropping a valve in any 500 + horsepower car. We just don't hear about dodge or Ford or the europeans cause we ain't on there forums wirch hunting.

I've never seen your Mustang so I can't comment on it specifically, however you are the first person I have EVER heard who would choose a Mustang over a C6Z.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this made me laugh pretty hard as I thought it was the start of a joke.

C6Z>Any Mustang I've ever encountered

Unreal

I'm not the first. I know a few others that feel the same way. It all depends on what you want out of the car. I know someone that went from c6z to boss 302 and couldn't be happier.

Just like there are people who prefer the Camaro to vette. Friend just went from a 800rwhp c6 vette to a ZL1 and loves it.

Never encountered the right Mustang. My C6Z is my SLOW car.

Seems you have conquered fear.

Please update with what ever you come up with.

On the sales tax side of things, you should only pay on the dollar difference between the cars(like IL). Some dealers will try to charge the full amount of the car you are buying & pocket the difference.

That's a lot of way. Hard to believe but I suspect it's a lot less modded and therefore, in some ways, more enjoyable.

If the vette was the end all best car like some people believe, no one would buy anything else. Cars like ZL1, CTSV, Mustangs, Etc all exist because they all do some thing better, and others not as well. Mustang is modded, and is a ton of fun. I like the interior more. Seats are more comfy. Interior is quieter. Rides nicer. Huge fan of the auto. I'll never have another 500+rwhp car without an auto. From a performance aspect, yes the z06 kills the stang in most ways, but for a daily driver, that doesn't matter. For a weekend toy, I'll take the vette, for a car I have to live with and if I only could have 1 car, it would be no question the mustang. In fact I would probably take a CTSV or similar I only had to have 1 fun car.

I do have to agree about the Mustang having more comfortable seats and being quieter.
