But that's not so bad considering that we stand out in a crowd when we drive by because not some many people own vettes:

Besides, you know who is going to win the stoplight war with that mustang. Dollar for dollar you're going to come out on top over the GT as well. I agree that all of us here know what #1 is in our hearts anyway.

Got a wave from a guy in a new Mustang.
Those puppys are huge.
I don't think they should be listed as any kind of sports car.
Looked the size of the old Torino.
I'll stay with my C5 and I'm not prejudice either.

No doubt #1, but there are a couple of nice cars on that list, I don't think the Mustang should be on a sports car list JMO.

If you someone would say to me here is a mustang for nothing it's your gift i would refuse it sounds silly but a mustang over a corvette no way.Why the heck would i want to drive that ugly car for, just my feelings hope i did not anger anyone on here who has a mustang.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and to me any vette is more beautiful then a mustang to me.

That list really means nothing. Just that the car was searched more than any other.

Just how many folks really OWN Carrera GTs, GT40s or Enzos???? Folks went to the Mustang site last year just to see the new model before it rusted away.
