$30,000??? If you were to spend $30,000 on a C4, you could have a ZR1 or a Callaway (like the one on ebay for $32k). I'd like to see you beat a Callaway aerobody. I don't know how much you think vettes, cost, but I spent about half what you did on your stang for my vette. If I were to put that difference into my vette, I'd smoke you all day long. As my vette stands now, I'd lose against your drag rustang, but refer to my above post on that oppinion :yesnod:

Nice Stang. Your uncle is truly an artist. What's under the hood of that thing? At 11.8 it will definatly smoke my Vette. :( The Cobra on the other hand....

I can't understand all the bashing. :confused: I've had a couple of Rustangs and still have one now. (86 GT, definitely RUSTang) . I bought my 93 5.0 coupe brand new for $15k. I guarantee that no other new car that cost $15k would touch it. However the Mustang has not kept up with the F-body.

I'm sure I'll probally own several rustangs in the future too. As well as Vettes.

Trashing this poor guys car that he obviously spent considerable time and $$ on will not make him want a Vette. He'll just go out of his way to tell everyone else want a bunch of a-holes Vette owners are. :rolleyes: And I hope he's not right. :(

Have a nice day :jester

Jim

The reason I did not see it in your post is because i did not read it I JUST LAUGHED AS I LOOK IT OVER!!!! :lol: You mean to tell me that your uncle had to waste is time and skill on that.. SORRY UNCLE !! The 24 K must be all under the hood because I cant see any of it on the outside.

the race car is very sweet looking and quick, however a chevy would definitely be quicker if he put the same amount of money in a chevy engine...but he won't listen to good old dad...all i get is you paid 26 thou for your vette in 86 and only go high 13's....i have 24 thou in my stang and go 11's....he'll never get it..to each his own i guess...however it makes for a good family rivalry...lol :rolleyes:

BLK91 - Your obviously a few sandwiches shy of a picnic. Your logic is completely retarded. For example..... I HAVE smoked stock Viper's at the track. Those cars are like $60,000. So based on your logic if I put another $30,000 in my car obviously I would be way friggen faster than that Viper that I already beat. Maybe you would beat me if you put another $11,000 in your vette, but I am guessing based on your replies so far, that you wouldn't know what to do with the $$. This argument started by my dad was based on a $ for $ comparison. His $26,000 to my $24,000. I am faster....WAY FASTER. END OF ARGUMENT! Anytime you want to race me, my $$$ is on the table. Since you talk so much crap with your 13 second car. I would race you with my 01 and still make you look like the retard you are. I wouldn't even bother wasting the race fuel in my 92. I can't wait to see what bright reply you will grace us with now......... :lol: :cool: :D :rolleyes:

To the father NO DISRESPECT TO YOU SIR>>>>>>First.... whats your name again "smoked crack" or what ever it is listen son...You should read more and REACT SLOWER.. You know like you do at the track!!! Anyway listen my lil pony boy. 1st retarded is your frickin :U paint scheme.. You should be ashamed of yourself wasting your uncles time like that. [QUOTE] "I HAVE smoked stock Viper's at the track". You may have smoked something but that's besides the point!! Also what I said was if I put the 11k differance in my car I would beat your lil pony.. Please son LOL stop the madness. THIS IS TIPICAL LITTLE MANS COMPLEX... O and have a nice day Jr!! :boxing ;) :rolleyes: And that 2001 midget pony you bought you should have spent it on a Camaro and got the speed to go with the car. I have nothing against Mustangs, my girlfriend has one but thay are over priced for what you get.. The bottom line is you get far more HP for the money in a Chevy the you do in a Ford...


:lol: :yesnod: :lol:
By the way... when you stop the car how many clowns get out?

Since your all so critical of mustangs let me make one point.......My 4.6L 01 is rated at 260hp/302ftlb @ 281ci. Your Vettes have 300+ HP with 5.7 litre 350ci. My car will run easily in the 13.8's. So my question is why exactly do you think your $30,000+ cars are so superior? My 01 only cost me $23,000.

Hey moron-a-thon..... if you're going to compare a '01 Mustang to a C4 Corvette, then you obviously have no clue. Lets play apples to apples here....

My '87 runs 13.8s also, my friend's stock '87 GT runs low-mid 15s depending on the day.

So does that make my $10,500 car superior to your $23k car? :p:

Default Re: HELP!!!!! (SmokedURVette)

Okay lets compare a few things.

Yes RUSTAINs can be built up to be fast goodiety handling ugly looking ghetto g-thug wanna be crap cars.... I won't doubt that one in the least ;P

I would like to see who would win top speed wise as I don't think aerodynamically that POS would hold it's ground ;P

You're argument against the Viper is totally off base, go STOCK vs STOCK, or MOD vs MOD to have a fair comparison.

My stock 2000 Cougar cost me $22k, built by Ford, breaks constantly and falls apart, and is expensive as cranberry juice to repair.

My '88 Corvette, sat for 6 yrs in kentucky before I bought it, on damaged tire rotten tires, with thick glue for oil and low on coolant, it ran to 120mph smoking by my Cougar. Take your FORD and drop it in the hills of kentucky with crap maintenance done to it it's whole life and 6yrs of sitting and see it hit 120mph out of the garage ;P It also only cost me $8750

Repair costs also are quite cheap on my 'Vette compared to my cougar, $145 for new Alt, $30 for new battery, hrmm I couldn't even locate the alternator in my cougar if I tried in that tiny a** engine bay.

Lets compare years also:
My '88 = 13 yrs old
Your '92 = 9 yrs old
My '00 = 1 yr old
Your '01 = <1 yr old

I'd be pissed if I bought a car that was brand new and it lost to a 13 or 15yr old car that are both stock ;P

I would race my '88 against your '01 any day ;) If I dropped equivelant amounts of money that you did into your FORDs, my 'Vette would run faster and last longer.

Getting a 5.0 to run fast for cheap isn't a feat of any kind, ever moron with 20 bucks to his name and 3 missing teeth owns one and thinks he's the goodie, it's mass produced junk, designed to fall apart. It's like ricers, parts are cheaper when you build 4 million of the car. The more rare the car the more costly the parts ;P

I love my 'Vette compared to my FORD, my FORD is doing it's job as being the beater car that I hate. Also I've gotten comments from people saying "Nice Car!" about my 'Vette when it's barely started it's restoration here and cost me a massive $8750, show me another $8750 car that gets those comments and I'll acuse you of stealing it ;P

Either way I like a car that's designed to look good and be enjoyable to drive, and not one that makes me look like a punk. My CEO of my firm likes my 'Vette and thinks it's cool I work on it, and my other boss's think it's fun to ride in, if I drove up in a 5.0 they'd probably be laughing at me while they escort me out the building ;P

I have one question......When you buy your Vette's do they ALL come with the book " You own a Vette, now here is how to act like a d!ckhead!"? You guys make no sense. BTW if you wanna talk about overpriced. Go by a new Z28. It will easily be $5,000 more than a Mustang, and only a few tenths faster. If I spent that extra $5,000 on my '01 I would have a supercharged 11 second street car that would really put all your panties in a bunch.

Default Re: HELP!!!!! (91_Corvette)

This is a prime example of what I do not like about a bunch, not all, the people at this site. Too much talking cranberry juice. Why do you care about whether the guy drives a Mustang or a Vette. If he went out and bought a Vette, would it put more money in your paycheck? I love Vettes and have for a long time. I have also owned Mustangs. Some of you, who bash the mustang, wouldn't stand a chance head to head, I know that from experience. Don't even try to debate it. The best you could do is talk MORE cranberry juice. Some of us grew up in Chevy's and some of us grew up in Ford's....period. Why all the bs about who beats who. Isn't the love of your personal car enough to get you through the day without talking cranberry juice?

Bottom Line: If you need to talk trash about someone's car...maybe it really is a different issue...look between your legs and see if maybe your a little short there. STOP THE BASHING!! The love of one's personal car is enough...isn't it? If it's not...meet the other at the strip and prove it. Quit talking cranberry juice. It doesn't prove a thing, until you can prove a thing.

Signed...A Vette Lover.

I owned a mustang once. A 1990 GT 5 speed. I now have a 1990 corvette six speed. The corvette is definitely faster. If you want to show him what a vette is all about, take him on a road course. His 11 sec stang qwill do him no good there. Most real sports cars (exotic) are built for road performance not straight line racing. No flames just the truth.

Death is to messy, and Im sure you love your son to much for that. If you lived here in Southern Cal, I could come over and completely crush any aspirations he might have to be faster then a Vette, but Jersy is a long drive :rolleyes:

Tell him that his car is nice, but there is an 87 corvette that could run circles around him in San Diego CA!! :lol:

Or jsut do what I do when I see a mustang pull up at the light, when he starts talking to you about it just :sleep:
