I never taunted Ford. I've simply pointed out, at $79K - Base for a C7 Z06, a car (Corvette) with a MUCH RICHER HISTORY OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME than Mustang, that it's a "fool's bet" to try and sell your TOP Mustang (especially in the rarified air of $70K+) dollar-for-dollar (or very close...close enough to be considered as "Corvette competition") against the TOP Corvette.

It's NEVER happened before, successfully, and that ISN'T about to change because YOU "might" buy one if it happens...or so YOU can BRAG on a 'net forum about it...

You're the one doing the "taunting"...and you're doing a pizz-poor job of presenting an even half-ways viable case against the $79K-Base C7 Z06...

Keep this in mind...that's HALF the price Ford clipped folks for the MUCH less-able Ford GT...

Lets be serious here and not use the 79k base price. As we know most who will already offer up 79k will opt for the performance package at 86k. Just as most who purchased the 13/14 GT500 did not opt for the base car, they wanted the optional track package upgrades. For 79k-86k I really don't think that Ford would have much of a problem chasing a Z06 especially if there is 100-hp advantage right out of the gate. The upcoming GT350 should handily take care of the Z/28 for much less money. The question is will they build a new 500 to chase this Z06? Also Z06 at 79k, and the Z/28 at 75k, what was Chevy thinking in regards to the Z/28 pricing?
