had a little play time

buddy of mine got to take home a stingray for a week. He asked if I wanted to meet up and check it out... this also give him the chance to look at my mustang. the vette was a 2014 and had about 6k miles on it. the interior layout was superb! you could hardly hear the vette at idle but when you stepped on it it was loud! I was a little worried about taking it out.
getting back into my mustang.. you could really tell these cars are in two different classes, mostly fit and finish. I was not blown away by the power but it was fast.

I love the Stingray however, I read the C7 forum from time to time and it seems they have a lot of maintenance problems. I usually only hear people complain about the stupid cooled seats on a Mustang. The Stingrays seem to be in the shop for a lot of repairs.

i did notice that the cooled seats in the vette were almost instant... much quicker than the mustang for sure.

Both cars look really nice.

Did the corvette feel a class up in fit in finish?

I really love the C7's. Very nice cars and look beautiful.

Yes, class up. 30k extra, guess it should.

I considered a C7 before I chose the Mustang, and I have to say, I didn't think it looked or felt a class up on materials/fit and finish-especially for the price difference. Part of the reason I went with the GT and kept the difference. But you know, opinions. They're nice cars, for sure, though. Perhaps if you get the full leather interior with the carbon fiber dash insert, it would help it feel worth the $20,000+ price difference.

I rode in a friend's C6 Z06 the other day, and I was shocked by how quiet it was, even with the exhaust fully open. Granted, I have a Borla S-type catback and the Vette was stock, but I was still surprised by how quiet it was.

The C7 Corvette is a terrifyingly good car tragically hamstrung by severe design flaws with its cooling systems, but in the case of the 'Vette it's the ENGINE cooling systems. :tsk: Hopefully it'll be improved in a later model year, ideally by the 2017s.
