You'll be back, once you own Corvette, it's hard to stay away.

Hope you forgive my asking... do you plan to have a passenger in addition to your grandchild? i.e. needing more than 2 seats?
Your '03 Z06 was equipped from the factory with the ability to install a baby/child seat. But obviously you can't have any additional passengers.

Sometimes you just have to make a change. Best of luck with your Mustang, and perhaps some day you'll return with another Corvette.

I sold my Mustang last year after buying the Corvette. Owned the Mustang for a number of years and had a blast with it. Lots of fun mods available (directly from Ford Racing!) and some great forums for support. If a guy needs extra seating and you still want to keep the grin on your face, the Mustang is an excellent way to go!

If you have to pick up seating, and do not elect to go with a Camaro, then the Bullitt Mustang is a nice option.
Of course, you could have purchased the actual 1967 Mustang used for most of the filming. It "only" went for $3+ million at Barrett-Jackson Kissimmee this year!
Best wishes as your grandchild's chauffeur.

Sad to see any member to leave (well, I guess I'd be happy to see one member go ) . Best wishes with your new Mustang. It looks like a nice car and she has 480 ponies under the hood.

All iterations of the BULLITT have been great cars. I had an 01 that I loved. I got to try out a new one on the track not long ago. Wonderful car. You will really enjoy it.
