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.

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.
