Not to mention the z/28 is a collectors car produced in a limited quantity while the GT will be mass produced.

...aka "trolling"...

Your butt-hurt (your words) response, I'm sure, was intended to thank those fine people for supporting worthy causes, partially through their appreciation of "things automotive"?! Thought so...

In a word, YES!

But, in BOTH cases, there'll only be ONE #1...of each...

Think about the fact that, over say 15 years, the Z/28 will most likely retain its higher value (I'm thinking to the most synonymous car I can, the '00 R) while the GT, even #1, will devalue quite far...think how dirt cheap a 15 year old GT is worth now.

They're trying to teach us some SVT manners...

The Z28 is so much more than what a regular ole Mustang GT is. For people to say it shows the Camaro is better are wrong it shows nothing besides what we already know which is the Z28 is a much more expensive desirable car. I'm not saying the Mustang is better than a Camaro or that the Camaro is better than the Mustang. I will say the Z28 is IMO a much better car than a Mustang GT of any year.

Well, we DO have a place, here, to refer all the nay-saying Ford folks who insist the Z/28 is a "fail" at $75K...and we sincerely thank y'all for your Ford-perspective defences of Z/28...and your continued support of the Gen-6 Mustang...

Job 1...done.
