Only 1,000 GT500KR (King of the Road) will be built!5.4-liter supercharged V8 w/ 540 hp and 510 lb-ft,

For that kind of money, I'll take a corvette. I'm not the biggest fan of retro styling.

Vette FTW! ... sorry Ford

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.

not a mustang fan.i'd go viper

What can I say, I'm a country music fan (not so much of the new stuff though).I'm not a country fan, but somehow i knew that song. Yeah, a vette is still a bit more uper class. Unless ohers knew excatly what KING OF THE ROAD was, they would assume it's a STANG with a body kit.

Quote, originally posted by VforVIBE »yeah... half a second is HUGE in any race I just didn't consider a car winning by .5sec or less to be "whooping" on the other car. Say the corvette driver gets a bad launch. Now it's a tied race.

Now it's a tied race.and say the Mustang driver dies of boredom half way during the race... Okay... if they 400 horse Vette will barely win... what do you think the 500 horse Vette will do to it?

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?
