A lot of the complaints with the C6 were that it was to different then the previous generation. A lot of complaints about the C7 is the same thing. As the price of the vettes have gone up, the sales numbers have dropped, The mustang has stayed pretty consistant over the years.

Again though the GT500 traps 126-128mph in the 1/4 for 55,000 and the ZR1 trapps 130-133 in the 1/4 for 120,000.. You can say that the ZR1 is a much better car ( which it is ) but if thats the case why is GM willing to make the new Z06 better performing, and better all around for 30-40,000 less then the ZR1? You could have bought a 2012 ZR1 for 110,000 and resell it in 2015 for 45,000, if in fact the new Z06 is 79,000 brand new...

Its gonna be great though for people looking for used C6's or even thoughs that want to get a new Stingray for 55,000 but see a used ZR1 for 42,000!! Or hell even a used C6 Z06 for 30,000..

I know the Mustang is not comparable to a Vette, and what not, which is why I am still kinda wonderring why Jeremy Clarkson didnt choose a C6 over a Mustang in a high speed, 800 miles race through winding, hilly roads? They choose a 55,000 mustang over a 50,000 Corvette..

He didn't choose it. The car was picked because it was brand new and Ford gave it to him to drive and the C6 was old news.
