New vette or mustang?
 

So now that both are out and on the street. which would you buy and why?

I like the vette better, the mustang looks too much like a toy to me, all plastic looking.

post pics for us fw90pgl. i don't know what the redesigned 'stang looks like. thanks

While the new mustang has a nice design, I don't see how the overall car is any way in the same class as a vette.

Its not...

But pricetags have the effect of evening out the two a bit, but not enough

I'd BUY a Mustang because I don't have 40k to throw around on a Vette. If somebody gave me a car I'd take the Vette because it's a superior performance vehicle. I do like the looks of both though but I favor the Stang just slightly more.

vette
ive always wanted one, aside from the early 90s late 80s design ive loved every car that came out.
I am not really a ford fan for their cars and im always stuck having to listen about my mothers stang from the 70s that would always catch on fire.

I would prefer the Vette, but it's not really comparing equals, as several folks have noted. I do appreciate the new Mustang, but the Vette certainly didn't take any steps back, IMHO.

that is the closest competetor to the vett im mo opinion, the viper is $$$

the vette.
i like the new headlights

Depends on how well the 05' can be made to handle. I'd love to turn an 05' in to a customized street/strip race car.

Mustang, Though I think they are in a different class and the vette is $25,000 to $35,000 more

The mustang is decent but the vette is sex. Always has been and always will be IMHO

No contest, Vette is the better car. The new C6 best yet. But it really is comparing apple to oranges, they are simply sperate class cars.

New corvette gets my vote!!!

i hate my mustang.. i wish i would have never traded in my honda crv

vette, hands down.

I like the mustang but I also love the new vette and sense I'm a chevy guy I go Vette!

I like Hp and the vette has lots of it:D

Vette - and I am a Mustang person

I'm a Chevy/Toyota guy and I'd have to go with the Mustang. Simply put bang for the buck, sure you don't get the mystique of the 'Vette, but I'm not in it to impress anyone but myself. I'd just assume get a base V8 model and work with that, it'd be paid off sooner, and I'd have more money to put into the Mustang. Oh and they are both dead sexy.

Make the Mustang a Cobra (or a Roush, or a Saleen) and then we'll talk.

As much as I loved my '98 Mustang GT (and really looking forward to testing a new Mustang) I'd have to say that I enjoy my brother's '99 Vette C5. There are some many great things in the Vette that totally surpass the Mustang such as the electronics, lighter body, and better engine. I like the fact that the Vette has traction control. I was also spinning the rear wheels on my Stang but the traction control on the Vette works wonders coming around corners. Definitely go for the Vette! I'm up for dibs for my brother's Vette when he gets his Ford GT.

These two cars are not in the same class.

I think a better question would be "Vette or GT40"
It seems to me that Ford is sick of people comparing these vastly differently powered cars, and wanted to put out something that was truly in the Vette's league in the hopes of grabbing some of their market.
Or perhaps what you were going for is "Camaro vs Mustang"
Here we have the opposite situation, Chevy is starting to work up their new Camaro, in response to the massive support that the T-Bird and Mustang have gotten.

I would still vote for the Mustang. I think the Vette is too generic and I don't want a supercar, I want a sports car.

the chevy, more hp and better look

The Vette is about as qualified to be in the Ford GT's class as the Mustang is to be qualified to be in the Vette's category i.e. not at all.
BTW the Vette ain't a supercar it's sports car nothing more. Unless you are putting upwards over 500 horsepower or so to the ground and have a sticker price of well over 100k US...it ain't a super car.

I'd buy a new Mustang GT, and put a '04 Cobra Eaton or Kenne Bell on it with the dough that was left over! Go baby go!

you can compare apples to oranges????

Both cars look really nice.

The Covette is more finesse to me, the Mustang old school power. I'm talking strictly looks here.

I wouldn't turn down either car, but Corvettes have always been one of my favorite American cars.

Although I love the look of the new Mustang, I'd rather have the power and handling of the 'Vette. Of course this is a moot point since I can barely afford a Hyundai right now.

I've driven a lot of Corvettes and they are so much fun. I'd take a vette over a Mustang any day.

The vette, it is the all american sports car, a corvette always means performance where you can buy a mustang just to say you have a mustang.

I saw the new stang in person yesterday. It was hideous.

New Vette all the way. A bud of mine has a zo6, believe its a 2001 or around there, 200+ for sure. God I love that ride. Surge of power and finesse. Hot stuff.

Rag top...OMG:eek:

I so want one:D

I'd take the Mustang, only because every Vette past C3 is absolutely hideous to me =/ The C6 is a SLIGHT improvement over the C5, but its still freaking pathetic compared to a Stingray =(

Vettes rule
 

As a Corvette owner, I am jaded, but IMHO there is no comparison between a Mustang and a Corvette.

The Vette wins in all categories of comparison period!

So true it should be the Ford GT and the vette thats a better match!

Then the GT would win in all categories! Corvette and Carrera?

The GT is fast but that and the new Vette have around the same HP, and I don't know much about the new Carrera so I'm not going to say anything :hmm:
