There is a "Sun City" development in my town . It has got to have the highest concentration of late model 'Vettes in the nation.
Wierd.
It's a kind of "late life crisis" car. Not sure about the demographics ,but the old folks love their corvettes...the Mustangs draw the younger crowd.

 

that's what my Mustang is to me. I like to think of it as a mid life exhilaration crisis, after having all that sister meow, speed is the only drug for me now. Erik

 

Because that's what your truck is for.

 

Erik try a CAI with your GT then you'll love it even more, but I warn you of self disipline ! no joke and that reproducing the hesitation thing that members talk about went away when I put on a Cold Air Intake . Cheers Ed Nice ride you've got there !

 

I sense that you missed the sarcastic tone of his comment.

 

I sense that you missed mine.

 

I can't even fit the 4x8 in my truck (Exploder), but that's another story.

But you hit the nail on the head, I just gave you a hammer and showed you the nail.

A Mustang isn't a sports car, and a Corvette isn't a GT. Just because some portions of price/performance overlap, they really are different tools for different jobs.

I wonder why Ford didn't use an aluminum block for this, though....

 

Back on topic.....GT500 is no pig. It is also not a 2 seat sportscar.

Drive my non-turbo diesel Mercedes, you will know what a pig really is.

 

Lets face it, the terminator Cobras with some mild massaging are running low 12s and some in the high 11s. I think this car is a little heavier, but it also has more power to start with. When the people who know what they're doing get their hands on it, this will be a deep 11 possibly even a high 10 second car and I'm willing to bet it won't need very much work to achieve it. Biggest drawback is weight. Also, if you've seen any pictures of the engine bay, you'll notice immediately how small that air box is this baby is breathing through. I bet with the right intake system, it picks up quite a bit of power right away. Pulley, tires and CAI should produce some great results.

 

Yep, like a long-distance runner trying to breathe through a straw.

 

Chevy?????????????

If you are buying the car for numbers than get a KIA.

Fork the numbers. I can guarantee you that if I put a new Vette and a new Shelby in a parking lot and counted the number of lookers the Shelby would win that number hands down.

Heck, my GT Vert still turns heads. I like that number better anyway.
