Well, it's been a couple weeks and I still don't miss the Corvette ('07 2LT 6.0 LS2 paddle-shift). My initial assessment of the Corvette being "sterile" still rings true to me. The Mustang ( 5.0, Brembo, 3.73) has that certain je ne sais quoi the Corvette simply doesn't have.

 

i dont know what that means but HELL YEAH!!

 

That's exactly what that means!

 

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

From Wiktionary.com:
Etymology

Pronunciation

• IPA: /ˌʒə nə sɛ ˈkwɑː/

Noun

je ne sais quoi (uncountable)
An intangible quality that makes something distinctive or attractive. She has a certain je ne sais quoi about her.

 

That's awesome!!

Heard that on TV, had no idea what it meant!! Learned something!!

 

Interesting. I actually test drove an LS2 C6 last weekend. I was tempted to check them out because used they’re in the ball park of a new base model 5.0. But after driving one I was a little disappointed. I thought it felt like and old-man car; kind of like a really low and fast Buick. The paddle shifter setup was cool (it’ll hold a gear and not kick-down even under WOT) but that wasn’t enough to make me want to buy the car.

Plus I noticed while doing my homework on the Vette forums, some of the owners can be really arrogant ******. I’m 100% decided on a new 5.0 now.

Let's applaude this man, he has come to his senses....

 

I thought I would miss my 07 GT but I was WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In fairness, the Mustang forums have plenty of ignorant ****** too.
I'll do my best to behave though.

 

lol verry true

 

Same here I loved my 06 GT but this new car is so much better in every way.
