[QUOTE="Mogumbo, post: 15958934, member: 188900"] I don’t know if you bought a car yet - but you HAVE to go and take each for an extended drive. I don’t know how you would choose the 500, for your purposes, over the 302 after you spend some time in them (I know a thousand people would say the opposite). I say that because you say you want a driver and you want to be able to track. The 302 is a practical, yet an adrenaline pumping, smile inducing machine that will make you look forward to driving to work. You can coast along in traffic like it’s a Fusion (except you can immerse yourself in that exhaust note) and you can kill it on open roads, curvy, hilly backroads, then drive it stock to the track and tear up some asphalt like it’s a... well, a Boss. You can track it against a 350 or 500 and be quicker or at least hold your ground - I think it would come down to the driver. But you are running with the much higher HP cars because you are in a fine tuned track car built for that purpose and they are not. (Just don’t go anywhere near a 1/4 mile run when they are near). The 302 also has an incredible exhaust note, and only gets better when your trackey lope kicks in at 170 degrees. And I think most anyone will say that the 302 is a much better car to track - not because I own one, read the pros reviews. Mind you, I’m not knocking the 500 or 350, I would LOVE to have either of them in my garage... next to my 302. They are just two different beast designed to devour two different kinds of prey. Do what I do in my boating world - find friends who have 3 million dollar Hatteras offshore fishing boats and go along, but let them enjoy all of the cost, maintenance and fees while it sits at the dock 90% of the time. Then I merrily jump in my 25 foot center console anytime I want to, any day, for any reason, or no reason at all. In other words, find a friend with a 500 and get your 662 hp fix every now and then... then hop back in your 302 and enjoy - gas up, drive like hell, repeat. My 2 cents - but I could be completely wrong. Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
