Winning races/competition is NOT the point of this car, and is NOT what makes it so special.

Anyone that talks trash about Corvettes and Mustangs will get a nice slice of humble pie if they ever decide to learn how to drive at a real race track. A properly setup mustang is a force, and the Corvette is nearly unstoppable. A carbon edition Z06 will run similar lap times to a 911 GT3 cup car, which is a full-on race car you buy from the factory.

Any here in norcal heard of David Ray, of Hooked on Driving? His mustang will smoke anyone here without breaking a sweat. Yes, people that rev at you at a stoplight are morons. Rip on their idiotic mentality. Not on the car, which is actually more capable than yours.

Well said. I love the car but I get irritated when people trash talk the Mustang. It's the best performing car for this price range (26-32k). The new 5.0 is a bad ass ride.
