I just have an issue with the new mustangs w/ an A10 being able to give a gt350 a run for its money on the street. The GS will be a more effective performer. The gt350 sure is a cool car, though.
I agree I should drive the GT350. I feel bad knowing the new ones near me aren't the right color, so I would never buy the one I test drive. Nearest used one is an hour away.

I've heard great things, but in my opinion not as unique. Then again I guess neither is the vette.

Same here

It really looks bigger than it is because it’s so low.

My second choice would be the ZL1 because Chevrolet did try to cut the weight, but you just can’t see out of the thing. Looks sexy as hell though. GT350 just looks bloated IMO. Both the pony cars share the same interior as their 4 cylinder counterparts where the C7 is unique unto its own. I find it difficult not to drive the Corvette every day.
Good points

Of the two the Mustang has honestly the same feel and body shape as the M3 IMOP...the Vette is a completely different animal in looks, feel and power. If you sold the M3 then get something completely in all ways different...
This make a lot of sense. Something completely different, I like that.

Yep, I'll have to locate a dealer willing to let me drive one.

Appreciate all the comments!
