Vette and Mustang are in a different class. I put the Vette more in Viper territory. Funny thing is the Vette started out its life as a Mustang competitor, but then moved the Camaro into that slot. Can't wait for the new Camaro's. I bet their retro design will look better than the Stang.

The Camaro was built as the GM's answer to the Mustang.

Now I remember this cause the T-bird went soft while the Vette got stronger.
Glad to be of service. I don't know crap about Vibes, but I know old school.

The GT500KR will be a BLAST to drive. I hope I get a chance to see one. There was an artical on Blue Oval News yesterday that said the number of KR's is still under debate. Could be more, could be less. http://www.blueovalnews.com/in...d=530

ohhh that gt500kr is sooooo hot. for the price mustangs are a fantastic little super coupe. vettes are way more expensive than them. but this stang might be costing close to a vette. the standard gt500 only has 475hp so this is a big bump of the hp.

Unless ohers knew excatly what KING OF THE ROAD was, they would assume it's a STANG with a body kit.

I'm not too sure the 400hp vette would win. The z06 runs a 12 flat and the '03 Cobra runs a 12.8. At least these are the times I remember reading, and have been told/seen when I go to the track. And I bet the c6 vette runs probably just the same as a '03cobra, if not, slower.Quote, originally posted by VforVIBE »and say the Mustang driver dies of boredom half way during the race... whhat?
