2018 Mustang GT - Convertible - Lightning Blue.....Thoughts??

[FUNDAD]

Okay okay, I am seriously thinking about listing my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport in Jet Stream Blue up for sale and buying a new Mustang.

I really really like this Corvette, but I am really impressed with this new Mustang. This lightning Blue is really sharp. They are now 460HP which gets it zero to sixty at 4.0 seconds. Not bad.

I haven’t had a Mustang since my ‘03 Cobra. Not a hater just kind of been a Vette Guy.

Also debating on putting $10K in the Vette. A nice procharger, tune and some drag radials. That gets me 580-600ish at the wheels all day. But do I want to do that to this car? I am kind of feeling a “no” on that.

After selling Vette it’s like $5 out of pocket and I own the Mustang. Easily spend that $10K and get a Whipple, tune and drag radials. That’s getting other people 700hp and mid tens all day.

Love the idea of a rag top. This targa top is cool but I have always wanted a vert.

A warranty would be nice too but may the shit I do to it negates those benefits.

I haven’t even driven the new stang yet. Might do that tomorrow just to even see how it feels.

What do you guys think?

Keep vette.

I keep telling myself a new car would be sweet but C6s are forever and stupid cheap to make stupid fast.

The 10k you're going to drop in the vette will still outperform the 10k you'd put into the fagstang. The weight difference is huge.

Besides, the C6 style will be timeless and it's a million times better of a car.

A targa too vette is what I have always wanted, so my thoughts are to keep it. But, if you want a drop top then it doesn’t hurt to test drive the stang. It will have way better tech and be more comfortable, so that is something you have to figure out

My vote is the mustang as long as its not a vert.

 

[FUNDAD]

Shit, I think by posting the two pics like that I may have just decided to keep my Vette.

 

[Mook]

yaaaaaaaaaaaa keep the vette

 

[SleeperLS]

Yup, I would keep it. No disrespect to anyone on here, but the newer mustangs don’t look nearly as good as a C6 GS

 

[Mr. SBF]

My mom rented a 2018 Mustang with the 10spd auto this past weekend in Florida when I moved her down there. It moved the fuck out! I Might have to buy one for myself now!

 

[IDAFC21]

I would keep the vette.

 

[Spivitz]

Id keep the Vette, why downgrade to a Mustang.


600+whp = win

 

[Great White Drake]

That vette is gorgeous. The Stang won’t age as well imo. Stang wheels are hideous.

 

[VenomousDSG]

Not for a base vertible, i'd keep the Vette. And I'm a Mustang guy.

Now if you went all out and got the premium coupe, and planned on putting on a supercharger or something, absolutely.

 

[blakbearddelite]

Also a Mustang guy, and I'd keep the vette.

 

[guspech750]

That Vette looks fantastic!!

That Mustang looks blah. I’d walk past it without giving it a look.

 

[01Cobra]

Don’t do it.

 

[Blood on Blood]

My vote is the mustang as long as its not a vert.

Agree

 

[Dan00Hawk]

The base wheels and springs on the Mustang make it look like a rental. They can look better, but not as good as the Vette.

 

[FUNDAD]

Thanks guys!! You guys ROCK!!

I really do love the C6 GS.

Think a blower will be ordered in a couple weeks!! She deserves it.

Just clicked to 10K miles. Ready for a blower!!

 

[IDAFC21]

Now this thread is going places.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

TLDR; but keep vette.

 

[10thSVT_03]

I’m a droptop guy and no way I’d buy that mustang over the modding the Grand Sport. That thing looks like a rental car. The GS is gorgeous.
Another option is a 2013/2014 GT500 in Deep Impact Blue.

 

[Rent Free]

Keep Vette. Buy Vette go fast parts.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Shit, I think by posting the two pics like that I may have just decided to keep my Vette.

based on the 2 pictures that you posted, the Vette gets my vote

 

[blakbearddelite]

I agree with the others, those Mustang wheels make me limp.

 

[greasy]

Nothing new to see here, but stock Mustang wheels have fucking blown for decades. It is just just the nature of the beast.

With that said, keep the vette.
