I'm back... from the dark side...

After a three plus year absence, I'm back; just traded my '07 Machine Silver 2LT Corvette 27K in on a new Ingot Silver Metallic 2011 GT with Brembo Brake Package. I'll post some photos later...

Congratulations on the New Machine.
Looks like it has the right options.

How does the 2011 compare to your Vette? Driving and speed? I'm sure the mustang has more comfort things

The Corvette was definitly better handling and probably just as quick (straight line). But in a strange way the vette was a sterile experience - just plain good at everything but seems to lack that certain "Je ne sais pas quoi" that I get from the Mustang.

That said, the $201.00 dollars a month saved on car payments makes the Corvette forgettable...

Me Too

I just came back from the other dark side - Acura NSX. I agree with what you said about the Corvette: the NSX was a great handling car and very dependable, but still was a sterile experience somehow. The scale of it is just too small for an American Car guy like me - I guess Ford isn't what you drive, it's who you are.

Winning!
