I gave up the 5.0

Taurus is great car, the 3.5L is a good daily driver. Mustang will just be a toy.

I will admit the new Taurus looks good but I haven't driven one in 15 years or more.

I bought a 2013 Taurus Limited for my wife. Best priced full size sedan out there. You can buy one used a couple years old for half the sticker. 3.5 is a good engine.

The 2013 plus models look pretty dam good, it is actually built on the old S80 chassis which is kind of dated at this point, but still feels pretty good for a 4000+ pound sedan.

I'm amazed at all the low mile old woman sports cars around.

Do you think it's because the old lady got the car in the divorce after the hubby bought it to cruise for chicks?

At 6 ft tall and normal weight, the Mustang has remained my comfort performance vehicle choice for decades.

Nothing matches it in regard for upright seating/head space, interior volume, great visibility, etc.

Just got home with a 2013 C6 with under 20k miles. This was a old womans car with not a mark anywhere and all stock. I did like the 2015 GT , but in my heart i wanted a C6 since i had a modded one back in 07. The 5.0 Gt is the best bang for the buck. But i will say for even stock the LS3 just pulls.. Just headers and tune would really wake it up.

Every corvette is an old somebody's car.

C6 > C7 for sure. But if I am getting a C6 it's only going to be a Z06 or GS. I actually prefer the GS over the Z06 because it just looks gnarly. Either one of those are still on my list to own after grabbing a 13-14 GT500 first.

The 2013 plus models ... still feels pretty good for a 4000+ pound sedan.

I had a 14 SHO, very nice vehicle. But I missed having a pony car so I moved on to Mustang #11.

My buddy wants a Corvette, but his wife is begging him not to get one....she says it's a "grey baller's" car. Haha. I look every time I see one. Currently running ~ 90% true. It is what it is I guess.

Seems most newer Vettes are older men that drive them like a snail.

Your post reminded me of this ...

Isn't that the way it should be? A base Corvette is $50k+...for us 99%ers, that kind of a toy is out of reach, at least until we've had some time to work our way up the corporate ladder, save some money, send kids out on their own.

If you saw a 21 year old driving one, you'd just assume that he/she was a spoiled brat..or that it was their daddy's car.

As for driving them "like a snail"...I suspect that driving a Vette every day you realize that you have nothing to prove and you'll be faster than just about any Mustang you'll find short of a boosted monster.

As for that GS model...yeah. :hail:
I'm still in my 30s but I've kept a C6 Grandsport on my "someday" list since they came out. The sleek Vette shape and those wicked bulging fenders made them into instant-classics. Even after looking at C7s for a few years, the C6 GS still looks fresh and sharp, IMO. Yeah, the Z06 is a meaner car but it also sets higher expectations where the Grandsport is just a mean-ass variant of the regular Vette.

I have one of each.

I picked up a c6 as well...its bone stock though so its nothing special

Incomplete argument.

The "car" might be faster, but only if it's driven correctly.
