Provided they don't go bankrupt first

Yeah, you're right, its not like the EcoTec is one of the best 4-cylinders on the road right now. How about the direct injection 3.6L V6 that's in the Camaro, which makes just slightly less HP than the 3.7L inside of our 370Z, but that one can run on 87 octane? Ohh...forgot, you're the engine tech in these parts

FULL DISCLOSURE: I used to recite the same nonsense about the Corvette as Pharmacist...verbatim. Prior to '02, I shared the same opinion on the Corvette overall and its owners. I, too, believed that the car did not handle/perform and was garbage overall. Then I suddenly grew up when I drove a 2001 Z06 in March of '02. I used to think the M3 and 911 were the pinnacle of world-class performance. Now, the roles are absolutely reversed...you could not pay me enough to drive an M3 or 911 (although my arguments as to why are actually valid, not juvenile nonsense).

His arguments are simply laughable, from HP/L to the lack of "european noblety" [sic] driving Corvettes...priceless. It's also funny how he's touting up the education-level of certain demographics, as everything from his sentence-structure/grammar to his overall closed-mindedness is not in line with anyone I know beyond a high-school education.

Let's keep this going, and let's keep it civil. This sort of entertainment rivals the best Vegas shows.

Seems the only one here lacking a high school education is you, since you don't know how to read properly. I never once mentioned that corvette drivers are uneducated, only that they tend to be either rednecks or middle aged men in a midlife crisis. They are not synonymous

You can't get paid enough to drive an M3 or 911? That says a lot about you. Enough said.

Why is anyone even bothering to argue with this goof?

Pharmacist, just

Is this a bad time to ask what the posters here think of Mustangs?

Sheesh, sorry to stir the pot. I only asked the original question on this forum because a 370 is my front runner and this Corvette deal came outta nowhere for me. I really wanted some perspective, which I got...and more.

Thanks.

You didn't stir the pot. All you did was mention a car other than a 370Z. It's not your fault that some people are idiots and it's beyond their comprehension to talk about performance cars different from their own.

As for Mustangs, they're very nice cars. I took out a 2010 GT about 2 months ago and was very impressed overall with the car. It handled well (for a Mustang), was just about as quick as the Z, and the interior build quality was also light-years ahead of that found in 2005-2009 models.

My overall impression of the Mustang: One reason why Ford didn't need a bailout.

Go with the vette. I'm not their biggest fan but they're better than the mustang.

I think by now, you've pretty much lost the little bit of credibility you may have had. It's doubtful anyone will bother taking in your consideration on the subject of "Corvette vs. Mustang."
