Robochan Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The car that's 15k more and is smaller was marginally quicker, no big shocker or butt hurt. Ford makes better sounds and will hold better resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McCool Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Bigger engine, lower curb weight, sleeker lines on the Vette. I'd still rather have the GT350. I never thought 20 years ago we'd be legitimately comparing a mustang to a corvette in side by side comparison but all I can say is "nice job Ford!!". That GT350 will be worth double what that corvette will be in 10 years too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_claytor Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 GM fans even think the F Body is trash. It's the Only explanation for why every GM guy has to compare the Mustang to the vette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 ^When Ford builds a 56k+ 2 seat Mustang to be road raced and it is matched against the Corvette the test is "unfair". I love the GT350 but it would be tough for me to pull the trigger when it is crowding Corvette pricing. As far as resale, the Corvette is a good play as well - it may not hold quite as much value as the Mustang if Ford keeps the exclusivity it has promised but "half" is laughable.

The 6th gen Camaro does not have a model to compete with the GT350..... yet. Hence the Corvette comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 If Ford makes a GT350 convertible, that may have to be my next car. Love the power of GM's 6.0+ Lsx/LTx engines, but seems like Ford has perfectly paired the European revving/wail in an All-American V8. THAT speaks volumes to me.

kirks5oh Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I need to have those $14k carbon fiber wheels, so I can curb them parallel parking at my kids school. Honestly, I want to see if this motor survives 50k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However these are good times we are in with the pony wars from the manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Honestly, I want to see if this motor survives 50k miles. I'm sure you've read enough on 6G that the common theory is even Ford has held back on this engine a bit by keeping the rpms down and such to keep it safe. The basic engine architecture is of the 5.0 so we know the bottom end is stout. I think it will be fine, maybe not a 150k mile engine but more than 50k unless people are really hammering on the thing relentlessly.
