Yeah, sometimes u get to see them.

But mostly in front of posh restaurants or hotels.

Whenever a trackday come or launch of a ferrari which owners are ibnvited, then the full monte is there to be seen.

There are also F50's and F40's albeit in very small numbers. Maybe just a few.

Did you just say F50? My favourite Ferrari.

 

[TsLeng]

Oh yeah, F50's.

Can I get another choice?

 

[ShobThaBob]

What other choice could you need? Its a simple question. Would you take a mustang over the new vette, or the new vette over the mustang? If you dont like either, and would rather have something else, then naturally, you select the 'neither' option. I didnt think it was rocket science...

Man, the benz will beat the Pug in every area but it will still be more expensive. So I cannot call it a better car just because it is more expensive? Then what? Better everything except price?

This ought to be covered in a basic economics course (I'm sure it is), but here's how logical people will take this situation:

Yes, the SL55 is better in nearly every area than the 206CC (not price, not fuel economy, probably a couple of other things - reliability? Warranty? I don't know). The question is whether the SL55 is so much better than the 206CC that its higher price is justified. If the SL55's higher price is not justified, then the 206CC is better because the money saved buying a 206CC will outweigh the other categories it loses to the Mercedes. The problem is deciding what's justified. In my opinion, the Corvette's price is never justified in being that much higher than the Mustang's, in any form of either vehicle.

I was waiting for this sentence"The problem is deciding what's justified. In my opinion, the Corvette's price is never justified in being that much higher than the Mustang's, ".

End of discussion.

I'm a die hard mustang fan (so I'd pick that), and it's funny you should pick these two cars since in the entire history of cars, no two cars have had more of a following then the vette and the stang (look how old they are and that they're still being made). having said that the 2006 Corvette Blue Devil (I know it's not an option) with its supercharged 427 putting out 625hp would spank the stang

 

[hondaracer88]

You're right, it's amazing how much following they've had. Big time rivalry.

 

[Ford427]

The Mustang tries to hold its original pony image, while the Corvette retains its euro-stylings, but is known as the most famous v8 racer in America.

 

[Nism0_Racer]

I like the stang better.

 

[mr schell]

How bout the 351 Boss prototype with the 351 V10 putting out 500hp and a 1/4 mile time of 11.5 seconds. not too shabby if you ask me, that would beat a corvette

 

[Z32]

concept mustang looked good. production, note quite. i vote C6. and i do see quite alot of ferraris. but im in Los Angeles
plus im goin to see nicholas cage's car colection soon as a field trip. maybe jay leno's too

 

[Dirkiyo]

i voted for the Mustang because looks a little bit more aggressive, It's a traditional American Muscle

 

[VIPFREAK]

Mustang, only because I've grow to respect them a little more.
