The second link is just a video showing how most of the people that bought a GT500 are probably feeling disapointed in thier investment. I will give you that the GT500kr is a cool car but if im in the market for a SPORTS CAR for that much money, you can be sure im going to buy the most bang for the buck, and the GT500 is not it.

The Corvette (with two-seats and 52 cubic feet of interior volume) and the GT500, including GT500KR, (with four-seats and 97.9 cubic feet of interior volume) are not recognized by any automotive authority, including the EPA, as being in the same classification.
To your second point, anyone who looks at a modern vehicle as an investment is someone with little or no financial sense. I can't speak for everyone who bought one, but I sure didn't buy it looking to make money on it down the road when I sell it. I bought it for the same reason as I bought my previous GTO. The car met my performance and utility desires/needs at the time of its purchase.
I GET that you see Ford-produced vehicles as inferior to vehicles produced by another manufacturer. I GET that you are upset that GM does not make a direct competitor for the GT500. I GET that, because you do not understand the attraction the car has for others that you feel the need to disparage them by calling them "suckers" or some other derogatory name. I GET that my joke got under your skin. Maybe you can GET it through your head that the Corvette has never been, and will never be, a direct competitor for any variation of the Mustang except in the minds of a few people that feel the need to reinforce their superiority complex involving one car brand over another.
