Oh, I forgot the obligatory you won't find any complaints on the 'Vette forums because they all drive like the grandpas they are.

We just take it easy around you because we have nothing to prove to a mustang owner

Even with three emoticons the sarcasm went undetected.

Honestly, whenever a C5 or C6 comes up on me it seems like 80% of the time they want to start ****. I sort of understand the C6 but why the hell would a C5 with only a cat-back want to start something?

There was a C5 coupe that was harrassing our 370 group on our way to lunch one day. I had to put that dumbass in his place.

In all seriousness, I wish I had gotten a chance to run a stock 5.0 in my WS6. *supposedly* the new SS's trap higher than a stock GT in all the mag tests I have seen and my WS6 was a dead ringer for the '10 SS's I ran.

As to the C6, there are a lot of people who are getting "grass is greener" syndrome over Ford's approach to 400+bhp and they want to see how their car measures up/prove that the C6 is still faster/find out one way or the other, or whatever.

That being said, I have only had one C6Z race my WS6, and it obliterated it. I did not even get it in gear before that car was gone. Fared much better against an '09 GT500, though. 3rd gear from a 60 hit I was down about 1/5-2 cars, and by 115, about 4 cars or so down. Not bad I thought.

Well the base V8 engine IS better than the top dawg.

One of the big Mustang mags did a pretty interesting comparo of the 5.0 and 5.4 recently that has a lot of the 5.4L guys kind of miffed.

Right now there's no reason to get a Shelby. The 5 liter is a better platform to work with.

The 5.0, and specifically the 5.0 in the BOSS, is one of the sickest motors out there. Ford finally figured out how to make a mod-motor that was light, powerful, and had awesome delivery. I am totally impressed with it and thing they now need to design a car that can maximize its potential.

For the next model change we can expect a direct-injected 5.0 in a smaller, lighter platform with IRS. Think around the same size as the 94-04s and somewhere around 3200-3350 lbs.

I will trade in both the Subaru and the Z for TWO of those if they get that right.

I'd do it too. A 6 speed manual for happy time and the dual-clutch automatic for happy time + commuting.

Hopefully, Ford's new management seems to understand weight reduction.

The word is that all new models will not be accepted unless they weigh between 250-750 lbs lighter than the model they replace. Knowing Alan Mulally we can live by that word, so you can expect the next gen Mustang to have a maximum weight around 3,350 in GT Coupe form.
