Well he reached his goal buying the mustang and I, buying the Vette. They're both cool cars. To bad he's immature. We could toast a beer and admire both cars.

Preach on my brother...Preach on. I agree, I would be really pissed at myself if I walked to a dealer and droped 40k on mustang...I've never been a fan of newer mustangs. before I bought my dream car (of course, a vette) I went to a ford dealer and test drove a cobra. It is a fast animal but I couldn't help the feeling of just taking the car straight into a wall...call me crazy but that car is not worth 4k.

I have a good friend who is die hard FORD, but he drives a Silverado (although it was given to him). He has put that truck through so much crap, I tell him all the time that if it was a Ford it would have died on him along time ago!
Well one afternoon I took him for a ride in my vette, and he compliments me on the car and then I drop him off at his house. Well he gets out the passenger side and walks around to me on the driver side and looks at the car and says " Yeah, this is a cool car, but it is still a Chevy - You should have got a Cobra!"
I didn't say a word, I just made a smirk at him, and rolled up the window, slowly pulled out his driveway. And lets just say he has two long black reminders of GM power infront of his house now

Tell him you'll run him on a road course, then a 1/4th mile. Take him on a road course and pass him when he's sliding along on his roof. He won't make it to the starting line at the 1/4..

Overall a very cool package, but not a big leap above the performance of a standard GT.

i'd probably have an inferiority complex too if GM made corvettes with a v6 engine, manual windows, 15" wheels and still called it a corvette
This is my favorite Mustang put down of all time. Thanks
I do love the Cobra of a few years ago that had that bulging hood and smooth lines. The rest of the Mustang line is just too many fake plastic body components that do nothing. Even my Fiero had functional black vents and slots that were not poured full of plastic.
That fake hood scoop on the 2000+ Mustang models is just assanine.
