If all he wanted to do was drag race maybe...you can't honestly compare a demon to anything that can turn. Compare a Demon to a CobraJet...then you can benchrace them. That Bugatti does like 250+...and will turn.

I admire the Demon's power output and Dodge's ***** to build it in the 1st place, but it takes more than that for me to consider it a real car and not a cool one trick pony.
I don't think I would say a Mustang looks hideous, but the Corvette easily looks $20-30K more expensive inside and out.
I really considered a GT350, but after doing some cross-shopping the C7 just felt like it was on another level in terms of asthetics. C7 felt more like a pure sports car in terms of seating postion and overall driving experience.
Loved that falt plane crank in the GT350 though, the sound is intoxicating.

I was complimenting Corvettes. Mustangs are nice cars and I have driven them for over a decade switching to the Corvette this year. Side by side it is a huge differece. He has a really nice Vette though
Wow, this thread is about as friendly as a political post on Facebook!
Ive always been a mustang fan, but I buy GM every time!
Already reached out to Jimbo and the guy who doesn't like my hat to invite them to Denny's for a cherry coke and grand slam breakfast to apologize for my immature wording of hideous. I guess we can take his Mustang there.

The Stock A10', 3.55's with DR's are doing 7.8's @ 92 in the 1/8 here at Irwindale. I may run Fontana on Wed night 1/31 and see what the 18 GT's are doing.
About 15 years ago the Mustang had a 4.6L (1996-2010MY). Just like the Corvette, the Mustang has greatly improved over the past few decades... and the new M3 ain’t too shabby either.
Isn't the CAMARO the "natural" competition for the Mustang?

Amen! It's sad to have a Audi A8 SEDAN be able to give a 'Vette a run both to 60 and in the 1/4 mile...
Sad and a little disappointing. Although i enjoy my C7 I always felt that a base C7 should have come stock with 500+ in order to stay relevant longer. In the past it’s often been said that the corvette is the best performance value money can buy. Is this really still true? Maybe from a road course performance perspective but 99% of owners will never have the skill to find out. On the other hand pretty much anyone can run a 1/4 mile.
I am glad to see all the car manufacturers stepping up their products performance benchmarks. I am a car enthusiast who likes all cars, just like the Corvette better than the rest is all. The Ford Mustang is a great little car and the performance has gotten really good. Will it keep up with a C7? Maybe, depending on who is driving it and where it is driven. Stock vs stock though, in the hands of a pro driver on a race track... Corvette all day. It is what it is.
i enjoy all cars, just did a quik search on Mustang higher end heck the price was more then a base Corvette when did this happen? must of been sleeping for a few decades.
I admit do like the 2019 Bullet or Shellby but if same price the Vette wins for me, but tempted either road.
I was thinking about upgrading to a 2018 GT from this:
Until I saw the new pricing. I like the changes that Ford made, but at the price, the Corvette was just a no brainer. Now I just need to put FI on the Vette.
