[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 14410150, member: 15703"] I've had both. Since you have a 13 GT I'll compare my 11 and GT with the C6's I've owned. First and foremost, the cars aren't similar at all. They don't drive or feel anything alike. I wouldn't necessarily call one the better in either department, they both serve different functions. For me, the extra seats didn't matter. I don't usually haul around friends, have no kids etc. So in that regard I actually found that I could do a bit more with the Corvette. It just has so much more storage than the mustang...at the expense of person capacity. The corvette also gets better fuel mileage, so it's operational costs were slightly less. If you're coming from a 13 GT that has the brembo package, you're going to be a bit disappointed in the braking from a standard C6 (non GS, Z). The brakes simply aren't as good as they were engineered originally almost 10 years ago at this point. However, they're still quite good in their own right. If your car does not have the Brembo brake package, you'll likely find that the brakes are quite a bit better. In the handling department, it all comes down to tires. To put it bluntly, the factory goodyear runflats on the C6 are about the poorest tire I've ever driven on. It severly hobbles the car. A simple tire change and the Corvette wins in the handling category. It's simply more nimble, rotates better and reacts better near the limit. Again here the brembo equipped cars probably edge out the Corvette stock for stock because of tire choice. A non brembo mustang will feel considerably softer than a base corvette. If you like to mod, expect sticker shock. Yes you can get a lot out of the LS3 without doing too much, but the corvette tax is high. The Corvette also doesn't blend in as well. If you like to be conspicuous, you'll be hard pressed to do so, unless you choose a white or silver model and keep it quiet. THe one thing the mustang is hands-down the winner at is the interior. You're again comparing 2013 to 2005. Although the C6 doesn't have a terrible interior, it's no where near as nice as a 2013 Mustang's. Especially if you've got a 400 or 401 package car. [/QUOTE]
