If it isn't, I'll give you enough to buy a brand new GT Mustang and take the Vette in trade. 
j/k. You'll enjoy it. And of course, you'll take all the pics and show it on here the very first day you get it, right?
Good luck on the wait.

I understand your difficulty! I too am a Ford guy at heart, always have been and always will be. Always been a Mustang guy too. Have owned several, though they were all '69's and 70's. Other than the Corvette, I will only buy Fords. My daily driver is a F150 4X4. When it was time for the sports car, I first went and looked at the new Mustangs and the GT500. Thought what the heck and went and looked at a 2008 C6. After comparing what I was getting for the money, the Vette won hands down. Anyone that knows me still can not believe there is a Chevy in my garage! Your just going to love the 08 C6. It will be even more than you are expecting.
I really don't care for all the Ford slams that have already started and are yet to come! Having said that, now the personal attacks will begin. Gotta love the forum!

I was a long-term member of the Inland NW Mustang Club with many different Mustangs....including heavily modified Cobras.....I got a lot of the 'darkside' comments when I sold the Cobra for my first used 'Vette, a 98 coupe......I have never looked back or missed the Stangs at all. You will LOVE your '08, and if you are anything like me, after about a year, you will see a Mustang and ask yourself......."What did I ever see in that car"

If you need a compact car, are you really going to say "I can't look at a Civic/Mazda 3 etc, because it isn't made by GM?"

It may not be the most popular opinion here, but brand loyalty really limits your choices in cars. The Corvette is a great car, but to not look at all brands available is foolish. I bet a lot of people here have owned Mustangs in the past (I know I have).
