Don't worry about it. The car isn't even out for a few more weeks so we will have to wait and see if it still there or not. I can't believe GM just happened to recall it, after waiting 7 years, right before the C6 comes out.

 

If you are a car club person, the majority of vette owners are older folks, grey hair, and one club in the Northwest has the market on being snobby. I like the Mustang and Mustang owners better.

 

Musician? If you buy the 'Vette you have to stick to the flute.

Still need help resisting the Vette? Quickly get married and have a kid!

 

I am a Quality Manager, and our company is involved with the C6 Corvette. GM has some major problems with the C6 they are trying to work out - Transmission, Body panel's cracking!

I am going to tell you the same thing I told my friend who just ordered his - wait for the 2006 model! Let GM work out all the bugs.

I would rather see you buy a 2006 Mustang, but it your choice! And I said 2006 Mustang, for the same reason as the Corvette - Let Ford work out the bugs! I haven't heard any problems with the 2005 Mustang, but there will be at least some minor issues. There always is, when a new model is introduced!

Its going to be hard, but I am going to try and hold out till the 2006 Models come out - wish me luck!

 

There is a "first test drive" article of the new C6 on autoweek.com

 

Let's see....... Bad things about the Corvette...................

Hmmmm......

General Motors
Insurance Premiums
Price

 

The vette is a great car, but the Japanese styling doesn't do it for me:



vs.

 

vs.

 

The vette is an amazing piece of machinery. And is probably a better sports car than the mustang if you look at all the performance characteristics.

But it isn't only about performance. Its about image as well. Personally, I'd take the tough, muscular look of the stang over the vette any day. Especially with those powerful wheelwells, forward leaning grille and wide stance.

 

Reason enough for me :yes:

 

Well I looked at the Z06 today. Not bad but still expensive for a used vehicle.
I don't know which one I want to get yet. 05 Mustang or 05 Corvette

 

hmm lets see bad things

over 147,000 were recalled recently for sterring problems, as i recall
they're made of plastic..
they're over rated
they're a product of chevy
they're not a mustang
THEY stink

 

No steering problems. They were recalled to fix the column from locking up, which made the car impossible to drive. The C5 Corvette is probably the most underrated car outside of the US that I can think of as everyone seems to bash it (Plus it costs a lot more in other countries). This is why the new car is designed to appeal more towards the European market and GM have been spending so much time testing in Germany.

 

BTW Dan that pic of the silver GT is awesome. New wallpaper!

 

LOL I'm a Organist/Pianist So I have a TON of music to carry! Stang would be great! B)

 

I agree man. The Mustang seemz more like a street brawler than a Corvette. Just my opinnion.

 

BlackRiderX, GO MUSTANG! THINK OF AMERICAN MUSCLE!!!!!!! THINK OF AMERICAN BRAWLER MUSCLE CAR VS. IMPORT LOOKING MUSCLE CAR!!!!!!!
