honestly they are completely different cars that really don't compare... vettes are slalom cars and 'stangs are street racers


We expect a base C7 coupe to cost no more than $55,000, about the same money as a Ford Shelby GT500. That’s a 9-percent price hike over a 2013 Corvette, entirely reasonable given the ultralight construction, more powerful engine, and significantly better gas mileage.
Vettes by you might be a "slalom" car but here in NJ they are a dime a dozen and daily driven. Im not doubting its a better car im many ways, and never said it was a bad vehicle choice. Id rather have a stang and 10k extra in the bank, but hey thats just me.

And not for nothing but that C7 weight figure...considering its not even published is about 2-300lbs off. The zo6 is 3,180 which is lighter than a C6, and the ZR1 is almost 3,400
