Someone will always be faster no matter what you do. Be satisfied with what you have, I am (05 C6) and (owned Mustangs for over 30 years) and still have one but the C6 I love just as much but it is not a muscle car per say but very fast and handles like a dream. Both are fun and who cares what is faster, no me. Go drive your cars and stop worrying who may beat you unless your sitting on the track for money.

The question is whether or not the c6 is worth an extra 8K. For me it is. As far as the 45K Cobra model goes, stock for stock same driver the c6 probably still wins. So is it worth 5K more? That is up to the consumer.

The only thing the mustang has on the C6 is 50 to 70 in top gear.C6 in 9.1 and the mustang in 8.8.They are close in price but I would still rather have the c6.
By the way, where are those 0-60 tracks? Who races 0-60?

There have been a number of factory cars over the years since the 60's that when fitted with a supercharger would easily beat the C6 AND the new Mustang in the 1/4 mile. So what?
The C6 however, is the KING of it's price range when acceleration, handling and styling are the measuring factors - end of story!
