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 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.

Maybe the Corvette's a little bored having nothing from Ford to compete with and likes to dip into the pony car segment to destroy a Mustang every once in a while for fun.
