certainly does not turn more heads than my car. his i see his car every 7 minutes here in new york.
That is ignorance. You don't see more c5 z's than mustangs... There were only 28k z's produced in total. There were 28k GT's produced in 2012 alone. Not to mention the new. Cars are definitely seeing more mileage than the z's as you rarely see a z with over 100k miles even though the 01's are 13 years old.

You pay for insurance? Wait I bet you pay your cell phone bill too. Wanna brag about that? You see no one cares that your parents bought your car until you start talking out of your ass belittling someone else's car that they payed for themselves. There is no way a corvette is more generic than a mustang. Mustangs have been sold in the millions. Corvettes have only sold half a million since the c5 came out in 97. You are comparing gm's halo car to ford's pony car. The one that costs less than half as much is going to be more common. Why put your foot in your mouth? His car is already appreciating. Your car has at least 15 years of depreciation left. Your car WILL be worth less than $10k at some point. C5 z's more or less bottomed out at $20k..

we come from very different worlds then because i get complimented on my car daily, and that isnt an exaggeration. the cheapest car than can be considered quick is not the mustang, its the priciest of the 3 pony cars. keep talking out of your ass, its pretty funny.
Ignorance again... It is the cheapest.

ZL1 vs GT500 the mustang is cheaper
its like 56k vs 54k or so pending options
Anyway you look at it the mustang is the cheaper car and always has been
Its always been a cheap quick car that is its selling point
It is... UNTIL you put the "performance" package on the gt500. That shit is asinine. The zl1 comes with all the performance options. It is the halo model. Ford will sell you a halo model without all of the performance parts... To get the nice limited slip differential, the trans, oil, and diff coolers, and the nice shocks you have to pay them more money. Stupid...

or thats the nicer way of saying " we cant afford to get a new car " nothing to be ashamed of.
29k vs 36k
youre not getting a fully loaded gt out the door for 27k... if you honestly believed that youre a moron.
keep living in disbelief that your car is nicer than mine haha. one day youll be able to leave a dealership with a car with 0 miles.
that is false. i put down my own money that i had. ride is just a stupid babbling idiot.
Last I checked ride payed cash for his car. He could have bought a zr1 with 20k down.

i havent lost any argument? its all opinion based so far, which car looks better etc. the prices given in this thread are dependent upon where you live, youd never get a brand new mustang for 27k here, maybe where you live. i still believe youre in denial you bought an 11 year old car and think its as nice as a brand new mustang. to each their own.
i own 50% of the property now, when im done with college, in 2 years i inherit the last 50%. so technically i own half of it now.
Yeah you did. There are plenty of numbers showing you are wrong.. Who cares about inflated prices in New York? If you can get one for 27k anywhere that means you can get one for 27k. Your higher cost of living does not make the car worth more.

All I know is if you don't like CCW's and you think your knock-off wheels with cheap tires are better you should get someone else to chose the wheel set up for your car.

not even close...
keep on being happy with hand me downs
It's a superior performing car. One can easily argue that taking the depreciation hit of a brand new lesser performing car for 1.5x the money is ignorant.

I don't need to get into an 20 post argument about who's parents bought them what but just wanted to post something I googled real quick:
2002 Corvette Z06 Production Numbers: 8,297
I would bet there are at least 4x that number in 2013 Mustang GT's produced. I can't go 5 minutes down the road without seeing some sort of Mustang/Mustang GT around. I just took my base C6 on a road trip from NJ to VA (and back) for a couple days and had more stares/oohs/compliments than a mustang gt would get in its whole lifetime. Although I did see a Roush 427 that made my head turn, but thats a different story
I did it for you. Kid is a typical mustang tool. Now he just needs a jeep.
