I've been in the new GT's. They are pretty quick, and I was surprised how well it handled. My friend and I did a photo shoot with my C5 and the stand, and boy does the Stang look big and bulky. Compared to the vette I thought I was in a semi truck with how high I was. I'm not knocking the stang, but if I was offered a new 2011 stang or a new C5, I'll take the C5 any day.

You might feel a little crappy if you ever get beat by a "polished turd".
