One of my good friends has a '98 Vette. he's 22. Around here, Mustangs are about as common as SUVs and trucks. You literally see one every minute on the road. Corvettes, not so much. Now I'm not saying that the GT500 isn't a nice toy and all, just too expensive for Mustang blood, and I think you probably will agree with me on that. There is NO reason a non-special edition production model Mustang should sell for more than the highest trim level Corvette available. This would be like Dodge selling a $40K Neon SRT-4 or Chevy selling a $60K Camaro SS. To tell the truth, the Mustang just isn't supposed to be a high-dollar car.
