^haha, More horsepower stock does not mean it has more performance. C5's are cheaply made, over powered cars from the factory, like GM always tends to do with there "power" cars. The C6 Zo6 is the only vette that will ever get any of my respect and that's minimal at best because of the price tag that goes along with it. As for the POS C5, it would have to be one hell of a modified and street mannered car for me to ever consider a C5 and when it come to C6's even the Zo6 don't share the same platform. (There's a reason for that.)
You can do so much more with so much less with a properly modified mustang. Dollar for Dollar the mustang wins every time, in a straight line, fun, looks and even maybe around the twisties. Just cause it's expensive doesn't mean it's great.
Have any of you ever seen the money it takes to get a GM car to handle forced induction? Lots more compared to the mustangs. Just about every Vette I've raced tries to get out of dig races because either the trans or the half shafts. "Lets roll race" they say... Yeah, ok so they have a stock platform that can edge out to 170+ MPH and then claim to win a race. Stupid Vettes, I've said it once and I'll say it again, Vettes can suck my D***.
