Just don't get surprised on the street by the new Shelby Mustang. Car and driver picked it over the Vette has to be a first for Ford

How come?

Im in Philadelphia and have a RWD is350? If i didnt have to drop the kids off at day care I would have a RWD 997 or Cayman S.

A good set of winters and a judicial use of common sense can make sure RWD is usable all year. I also live in an odd very hilly section of the Philly suburbs and have never had a problem on RWD.

At 300hp, I'm sure its easier than a 450hp Vette with almost double the torque you have.

Plus, a Vette being driven in the snow is just a sad shame.

If you actually read the article, you'll see the Corvette won almost every measurable performance category. Car & Driver took off points in purely subjective areas so they could give the Mustang the win and sell more magazines.

I agree with your assessment on the Car and Driver article. These cars aren't in the same catagory. No disrespect to OP
