{Begining in 1964 1/2 to 1998}

Don't mean to bust your bubble, but the new Shelby Mustang is not excactly a Shelby, and not excactly a Mustang.  It has an SVT engine , and its souped up so much, there are hardly any parts that are made by Ford.

Not to mention, I posted this topic back in April I think it was.

Do I need one?  Nah.  Do I want one.  You bet cher bottom dollar I do.  lol

No offense but ford and exotic really dont go together in any sense of the word. Impressive yes, exotic no.

Which model of pre 1990 european Ford had twin ignition coils?  ;)

I don't neccessarily agree with that Craig.  It is true that "exotic" better fits the European Super Cars but I think that exotic isn't a bad way of describing the new Ford GT.  Other than that, I pretty much agree with you.

American performance cars kind of go for that "bad ass" approach rather than "exotic."  And of course, why drive a Mustang when you can drive a Camaro anyway.

A Camaro's not a waste of energy-they are a lot better than 'vettes.  A Camaro is a muscle car that is ment to be driven and a Corvette is for old folks.

Also, you should keep in mind that the only reason the Mustand ever became a performance car is because of the Camaro.  Before the Camaro's debut the Mustang really wasn't a performance car-the only way they were fast was when they were modified by Carol Shelby after production.  The Camaro was a performance car and to keep from being outsold, the Mustang had to be one as well.

I have driven Camaro's, Corvettes and Mustangs and I would perfer a Camaro over all of them.  Thats probably why I have owned 4 Camaro's during my life and no Mustangs (and no Corvettes).

Although, I do really like the new Mustangs.

sorry but the corvette is not a good car. for what they cost, you buy a porsche, a real sports car.

They're aren't bad.  I don't really like the newest one based on its looks and I haven't driven it.  But, I do like the looks of the previous generation.  They don't handle like a Porshe (I assume, I've never driven a Porshe) but they are most likely faster.  But, they are too expensive for my pocketbook and really aren't my kind of car.

I do like the classic one's a lot more though.  Especially the '58, '67, and '69.

Always a good place to compair times.
Chevrolet Corvette - 1.26.8
Porsche 911 Carrera S - 1.28.9 (very wet)
They say to take 3 to 4 seconds for wet laps, so they are pretty much simmilar in times. The porsche is faster in a straight line drag race over 1/4 mile rom what i remember.
