BillyG Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I know there was another thread regarding this but I couldn't find it. I wish I had my camera. So I'm driving to the girlfriends house. I drive past this very large Cadillac and Vette only dealer. Big Flashing sign out front......"Brand new Corvettes at Invoice" I think that says it all............................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyG Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Who doesn't have access to a Vette, thats the point, I wouldn't let anyone use my Shelby. The point is fact, and when everyone on this site all have cars, and dealers are selling them at cost because they have too many, the point remains. The fact that Vette guys keep down playing the reponse to the new Shelby, just substantiates the truth........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark25 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 It will be interesting to see a road test conducted using the current Z06 Vette (505HP) and the Shelby GT500...C&D did one using the stock Vette (with 400HP) and it appeared to do quite well against the GT500...now the Z06, that's a different beast...I'm a bit biased since my weekend car is a Vette...but I do love my Mustangs (I've owned quite a few over the years and love my current one). Better yet, perhaps one of the forum members will be able to let us know when they encounter a current Z06 on the road how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is up with y'all with Brands? More hp - less weight - the winner. Why aren't we discussing which brand is more fun to drive? Let's stop waving our econonmic dicks and start talking about how much fun each car is TO DRIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted to go faster or quicker than either, there are a bunch of motorcycles that will leave both in the dust. I didn't want a motorcycle or a Vette cuz neither works for me. The Shelby GT500 did and does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen,...........Oh, sorry......that was the other site. This subject has been beat to death; however, I have been sucked in again to comment. Each of these cars was designed to fit slightly different wants and desires of the customer. One is better at some things than the other and, the opposite is also true. Mustang, including the Shelby, are in a class of cars more like the Camaros and Firebirds. The Corvette in a class more like Vipers and Ford GT's You cannot directly compare the two and be fair to either car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90GT Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 The Vette only has two seats and the Shelby has four. Some people have kids and need the four seats to justify the purchase to the wifey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Would I try and engage a new Z06? Do you think me mentally challenged? I love this continuing banter about Mustang v Vette. It's really absurd. Different cars - different price tags - designed for different purposes. I truly do care a lot for my GT. But if I had the pockets - there would be a little Red Corvette on my concrete. And I wouldn't give a Rat's Azz what anybody thought about it. Go test drive a C6, my brothers. The car Rocks. If you don't think so - you're in denial. The badge on the hood don't mean a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Roger Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I love Cars - CC - and I don't really care who makes them! I have to admit that I agree. I don't really care who makes a particular car. If it is a well done vehicle (sports car, muscle car, pick-up, SUV, etc., etc., etc.) who cares who makes it? Brand loyalty in spite of the evidence is a particulary bizarre form of pride in my opinion - especially when the opinion is held by someone who doesn't even WORK for an automobile manufacturer and therefore has no reasonable reason to have a biased opinion. :tease: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
