You need to take #1 out of this discussion if you're looking to spend 50k.

Having said that if i was you i would try and find a low milage 08-09 z06 and get that, if you think that base c6 threw you back in the seat you need to check out the z06.

If your a stang guy their is only 1 answer the gt500, maybe 2 2011 gt. It's still your call. To me nothing special about a vette.

Some quick facts that most people consider on a daily driver:
How loud is the car?
Mustang fairly quiet, very much so for a performance car, even more for a 2011.
Corvette, very noisy.
How does it ride?
Mustang, firm but forgiving, almost BMW like.
Corvette, super firm, not forgiving, but turns on rails.
How easy to get in/out is it?
Mustang, just like any coupe, tight in smaller parking spots but comfortable position.
Corvette, very low slung, it's a SPORTS CAR.

I don't really know if I am making any point but I thought I would point out a few things you need to be asking yourself. Establish what kind of car you want or need given your use of said automobile and level of comfort. Then you will be answering your own questions.

Great points. I spent 15 years in a British roadster - no not in the same league as a Corvette - but a low slung, noisy, hard riding sports car nonetheless.
The Mustang wins in those 3 categories now. And my friend would confirm. I'm sure he wouldn't part with his 83 Corvette*, but he pays a price and he admits it.



* just checkin' to see if everyone is paying attention. ;)

I've never liked tuner cars. OEM or no thanks.

If you have kids or anticipate needing to move more than two people, pick the Mustang. Otherwise, the Corvette is a good choice. Both cars rock.

But if you pick the Corvette, ORDER IT AND GET MUSEUM DELIVERY. You can even elect to go to BG and follow your car down the line as it is built. GM will take pictures and everything. Do that. It's once in a lifetime.

Unless you buy another 'vette. :) Been to BG and the factory tour. Very cool.

Wow. This thread (or more appropriately the responses) = FAIL.

Bull, I'd go w/ the GT500. The reason why is that's what I'd be more proud to own. I couldn't care less about what other people think of me when I'm driving or getting out of the car, I want the car that I get the most enjoyment out of and F everyone else. Corvette's are very nice, but to me they lack personality. The GT500 is just nasty, regardless of performance differences. And 'nasty' sir, is a good thing.

I know what this thread is missing. More bronzer! :D

What surprises me more than anything is that this topic is being spewed across three separate threads now. It is my opinion (based on how I was raised and as a younger member of this form mind you), that you have to be over 50 and have silver hair to own a Corvette. Personally, I think they're beautiful and fun cars but the Mustang does have a more youthful image overall.

I purchased my Corvette at age 24, thanks very much.

Um, yeah, my first 'vette was at 29 and my second 'vette was at 37. I still own the first one and I ain't 50 yet. THEM folks are OLD! :p
