Being realistic in price similarity. The Mustang 5.0 gives you room for 4 and 415hp for little money. I would probably still not get a FORD though and go with a 05-06 GTO.

I've had a CTS-V, so probably Porsche. Or Bentley, or something Italian. Too many choices.

as long as we're dreaming......

Truthfully; there is nothing I'd rather have than a 2015 C7 Z, but with automatic transmission (this is my dream here.....).

I have some arthritis issues in my hips and hands, that mean my shifting days, are over.

I don't care how much foreign cars cost, a C7 Z with automatic, in Torch Red or Silver would fulfill my auto dreams, for sure.

As a friend told me, "How do you cure Porsche's IMS problems….buy a Vette!" $20,000 invested to go 13,000 miles in my case….doesn't happen to everyone BUT YOU COULD BE NEXT! Best bet is NOT TO BET on Porsche. They advertise - Perfection! NOT! False! Perfection my backside!

Sorry, I would ride a bike or drive my work truck IF I can't have a Vette. Which explains were I'm at…with a dead Porsche in the garage on jack stands!

This illustrates my point….

That would actually be a very good choice. Sweet looking car too.



Surprised to hear the previous comments about Porsche. I don't know much about the brand but I would assume much better quality than that.
