I like the 1970 Boss 302 ---

I prefer the look of the 'Vette, it has a more feminine look. However, because I’m such a good wife and my husband would love me so much for it, I’d get whichever he liked better, which would probably be the Mustang. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > The Boss. I’d like the Vette too, but it isn’t the best looking Vette ever made, more classic value than anything else. This is how I feel. I admit to being a classic Mustang guy (I own a '67 ragtop). I do love the Corvette as well, but not that particular model. ---

Mustang, by a wide margin. Joe ---

I’m a former Mustang owner, and I miss that car! So, the Mustang for me, no contest. ---

The 'Vette. It has a cachet that a Mustang, any Mustang, can only dream about. That said, I think that the 'Stang that comes closest in style points to the 'Vette is the [1968 Mustang GT Fastback.](http://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/1968_Ford_Mustang_GT_Fastback_390_Bullitt_Clone_Front_1.jpg) Note: Shelby Cobras were not considered in my comparison. ---

Which version of the Corvette? A small block 66 is a $40,000 car, a big block version can be worth up to $200,000. Big block 60’s Corvettes regularly bring well over 6 figures at Barrett Jackson auctions. ---

I don’t like that particular Mustang **at all**. I would take the 66 Corvette any day. My friend in MI has one like this [1958 Corvette](http://www.google.com/imgres?q=1958+corvette+convertible+for+sale&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=s39&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1570&bih=738&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=0ZPWRHJHnEHo0M:&imgrefurl=http://www.mershons.com/car_detail.asp%3FID%3D7058&docid=xj_pazfq0IXJOM&imgurl=http://www.mershons.com/480x360/7058.jpg&w=480&h=360&ei=_42CT6rgG8WFiAL6pKSVAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=416&vpy=411&dur=4390&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=135&ty=66&sig=104956475636506269820&page=2&tbnh=163&tbnw=213&start=28&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:28,i:136). It’s a real beauty. Once they lost this look, and got all bulky and began looking like an oversize sports car, I lost all interest in them. ---

However, because I’m such a good wife and my husband would love me so much for it, I’d get whichever he liked better, which would probably be the Mustang. Ah, but the real question is: are you as good a wife as **Mrs. Cake** is? Did you see her post in MPSIMS? “My Husband Said I am The **Best** Wife.” 😃 ---

The Mustang, of course. Seriously, when you see the Corvette, don’t you picture a mustached douche head in a white leisure suit driving it? ---

Out of these particular two choices? The Boss Stang, hands down. I love Corvettes, especially the latest versions (ZR-1), but that Corvette pictured in the OP is fugly. Hate those wheels. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > Out of these particular two choices? The Boss Stang, hands down… that Corvette pictured in the OP is fugly. Hate those wheels. Thats why it was such a hard call for me. That is the best looking Mustang photo against the worst picture of the Vette! Those wheels would be the\* first \*thing to go! Don’t care for the color, either. But that rear window… awsome! ---

Bossy boss boss. Pretty Boss. Just like my men, I like my cars to have some meat on their bones. Fiberglass cars don’t even \*have \*bones. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-of-these-two-cars-would-you-prefer/617571.md?page=1)
