Mustang owner from WA
Hey everyone, as the title reveals I am the current owner of a 2006 Mustang 
The car is fairly well put together for track use but I've had it for a while and looking to move on to something different.
The C5 caught my eye when I was a kid and I've been a fan ever since. Also really enjoy the C6 & C7 cars. Joining this forum in hopes of acquiring valuable information before I make a decision whether to stick with the Mustangs or make the jump. I graduate from college next month and figure one of these would make a nice grad gift to myself
Anyways, excited to be here and sponge up as much as I can. I'm sure I'll quickly find my way to the track/autocross and classifieds sections. Really have my eye on a C5, C5Z, or C6 with the LS2.

Cory - welcome to the forum and good luck making a decision on whether to get a Corvette or not. My recommendation is give it some very serious thought - the Corvette is a whole different animal than the Mustang.

Welcome and good luck, many Mustang owners I know have crossed over to the Corvette side 
C5 is a great track car, if you are looking at C6 consider the Grand Sport
