I sold my 06 Vette to get a 2011 5.0 Mustang. It's a nice car but I'm gonna get rid of it and go back to a Vette. What was I thinking? Just call me stupid!

Its okay. We all go a little sometimes....

I am wondering why didn't you go to a Camaro instead of a Mustang. I just don't find anything attractive about Mustangs . At least a Camaro looks good...

That was quick. What changed your mind? What was your reason for leaving the fold originally?

Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Hope this lesson will not cost you too much.

I sold my 07 Z back in April to the same dealer I bought it from to make room for the C7. I went through this when the C6 came out I took a beating trying to sell my 03 Z06.

I got a smokin great offer on my 07 I just couldn't pass up.

Well it appears we all agree with you. You were to trade a C6 for a Mustang!! Why would you even consider this???

I like the exhaust note of the V8 mustangs, but have never driven one.

Welcome back.

I was wondering the same? I'm a bit curious about the new 5.0 Mustangs.

The "Truth About Cars" website had an article in August on it that was pretty interesting called, "Do Not Buy A 2011 Mustang 5.0".

It had a clear photo of the cylinder head from an auto show and pointed out a groove where Ford is preparing to drill a hole for direct fuel injection.
