 they're using 378 and 427 cubic inch engines to try to compete with 302 and 330 cubic inch engines.

I'd say its about time ford stepped up to the plate. When the camaro came out in 2009 the v6 model had 300hp the 2009 mustang gt had 300hp.  :banana:

 i've left the vette outta this, 'cause it's in a class it's own. the mustang was never intended to compete with the corvette....although todays mustang will sure open some vette owners eyes.

That's a pretty weak argument considering your thread is about current vehicle models not 50+ year old cars.

depends on the vette nowadays. ill never even think of owning a stock regular meant for the average guy. either its a 60's vette or a Z06 or ZR1...


too bad dodge shut the viper down a few years ago :(
