I think since you drag race your mustang you'd be excluded from the old guy population theyre talking about!

I am young, so I don't need to feel young and a synthetic "look at me mobile" would never be something I'd be interested in regardless of my age.
For the kind of money it costs to buy a Vette, I'd buy a Mustang GT for fun and a nice used DD, or something German that I'd drive year round and would also perform well while being very comfortable with excellent build quality and ergonomics. Again, this is just my opinion.
EDIT: I just came up with the perfect metaphor for how I see the Vette. Spandex bicycle outfit = Corvette. The spandex shit makes you more aerodynamic on a bike and likely improves your performance, similar to how a Corvette performs well for what it is. However just like the Corvette, you look like a complete fucking idiot wearing it.

Haha, ouch... I just like Stingrays.
Just curious (asking a question, not arguing) do you think BADASSC6 looks like a fucking idiot driving his race built C6 around the track?

OIC. So you think theyre impressive machines, just not your style? Just like me and the AMG?

I change my opinion. I'd rather take a 2013 V6 mustang, handles just as well as a vette but for much cheaper. And less gas.
