[QUOTE="Trick Pony, post: 7825908, member: 46397"] As someone who has always been a diehard Mustang guy here's my 2 cents. I have a '00 GT with full '03 Cobra swap. I used to do open track days with it and have all the MM suspension stuff for it. Recently I decided to buy another car to drive every day. I don't have kids so for me the C5Z was the obvious choice. They can be had with low miles for between $20-30k depending on condition and mods. My Vette gets 27mpg on the highway, is much more comfortable than a Mustang, build quality seems to be better, and you get a lot more looks in it. Compared to my Mustang roadrace setup that handles comparably to the stock Z06, the Vette rides 100x better. Stock vs. stock IMO the C5Z is a better car in every way than the '03 Cobra other than back seats. The C5Z handles so well I've since dedicated my Mustang to drag racing and will open track the Z. When it comes to power mods, you can't beat the Cobra for bang for the buck or for being able to handle more power with the stock shortblock. The blown Cobra motors also are a lot of fun to drive on the street because of the instant boost and torque compared to the Vette where you have to be up in the rev range to really make the power. With stock displacement you can get around 500rwhp N/A out of the Vette with H/C/I and still be what most consider pretty streetable. Any more than that and you'll want to redo the bottom end either to add more cubes or boost. [/QUOTE]
