Corvette vs Mustang...which should we buy?? If Corvette a C5 or C6??
Wife is in serious heat for a new style Mustang, or C5 or C6. She's worth it so I'm looking for opinions on Mustang vs Corvette, and C5 vs C6 Corvette.
Anything wrong with the early years of either?? Looking to spend between $30-45k. Thanks your opinions and for any tips. Bob

Bob,
I had a 2000 C5 and I simply loved it. They say to buy 01-04 if you are buying a C5 but I never had a problem with my C5. Def stay away from the 97-99 they had issues that I cant recall. My car had low miles and didnt really drive it to much so I didnt have any real issue except the rear end had a leak but I had a extended warranty. It was a real fun car to drive with the top off but I would scrape the car everytime I would take it out of the driveway because the front was so low. Had to take it in/out real slow. Check out www.corvetteforum.com HTH Joe

I would say theres no question, corvette, but im a bit bias. the C5s look great, the c6s look amazing. youre looking at base in youre range for a c6 or you could probally get a really nice c5 z06 also, id probally go for the z06. can youre wife drive stick??

if you get a auto make sure it has a perf axle which is a 3:15 otherwise auto's come with 2:73 I think. Makes a diff. I prefer the C5 over the C6 at times cause I used to love how my car sounded with an exhaust I cant imagine the C6 with the same exhaust it looks like it should sound more europian or something.

My wife is in serious heat for a Yellow Ragtop C-6. Guess what - she isn't getting one.
If your wife must have an auto trans then a C-6 is the answer. 50 more Hp's than a C-5.

I'm going for a Mustang GT in the spring. White/Blue Stripe. Hopefully I can afford a Dealer installed Supercharger, Cold Air Intake, Cat-Back. Just love the new style, don't care how many are out there. Just my .02!!!

Get the C6 Corvette...The improvements with ride quality are amazing. You should be able to pick one up with 10-15,000 Miles for Low 40's.

Get a 2007 vette. I just did. The new 07 has a six speed automatic that is just as fast as the stick. You and your wife will be happy. Very nice machine!!
No key! Just get in the car with a fob in your pocket and hit the start button. Spank that ford azz.
