Which is a better buy?

Corvette or a Mustang GT? I would go for Mustang GT because I like Mustangs but I want to hear opinions of other people.

I wouldn't say this is Corvette vs Mustang Poll...I want to know wheter most people go for a Covette or Mustang? or are they even comparable cars?

they arnt comprable, i think most everyone would take the vette. The real question is 03 vette, or 67 shelby gt350 or 68 gt500kr or 03 roush or 03 cobra?

No, they're not. Cobra R and a Z06 maybe.

I believe that they are completely comparable. '03 Cobra 425-450 hp:03 Z06 405 hp. I don't know why they wouldnt be comparable. '03 Cobra for me!

They arn't comparable because a Z06 WILL drop an 03 cobra like a bad habit on a road course.

The 03 Cobra is a pig. I hate to say it but all that power came at a huge sacrifice.

yeah a sacrifice of slowness....

The real facts are most stock 03' cobras dyno at arount 380-395 HP.. a stock z06 can beat a stock cobra hands down... but who wants a plastic car (vette) I like my cobra... (I think I might have a bias )

The vette is better. It is NA and has more HP than the Cobra (supercharged). The vette also handles better.

am i missing something here? there is no comparison between the 03 cobra and the Z06 simply because the Z06 is easily 15 grand more. spend 50 grand on an 03 cobra, 35 for the car and 15 to improve where it is lacking from the vette and its game on, then you can compare. even so, factory stock the vette is not that much faster than the cobra for the money, 2-4 tenths in 1/4 maybe

I agree that the 03 is a better value for the buck... and right now some people are getting the 03 cobra for 31K...you can mod it with the extra money and kill z06's

Ya, but for that price you can have a R32 GTR, which would kill both of them j/k

Cobra, $4$ a much better buy.
