waiting for some pin head to come in here saying, "this is a vette forum! why are we complimenting other cars? we're supposed to praise the vette at all times and curse everything else!"

count me as another performance car enthusiast.

The "vette" will always be number 1 with me, but I appreciate ALL cars...except maybe the Subabru!

While I would never own a Mustang - it is a very popular car for good reason - and has been for 43 years. They look cool and most of all they are affordable.

Mustangs have a similar high perfomance racing heritage like the Corvette and whether anyone cares to admit it - there are some Mustangs out there that will suck the doors off of a stock C5.

So I see nothing wrong with one performance car enthusiast acknowledging another - whether their car wears the blue oval or the bow tie.

I hope you gave him a thumbs up or a wave in return.

Default Glad To Hear It...

Most of us Vette owners are true sports car/muscle car/performance car enthusiasts. We just happen to prefer owning and driving a Corvette more than any other brand. I've had several good experiences with other "car guys" in the short time I've owned my C5. I personally enjoy chew'n the fat about cars with other enthusiasts no matter what they drive.
