Interesting, but it's worth keeping in mind the comparisons being drawn are between Ford's top-of-the-line, "flagship" Mustang (GT500) and Chevy's "entry level" Corvette (Stingray). I'm not in the market for either car, but I'm more curious to see how the new GT500 compares to the new Z06, when it's finally available.

Yeah he kind of did imply that, don’t know if that was his intent. But that’s how it sounded, guess we will find out when they start hitting the dyno’s. Hoping like hell its like the some and under rated.

I’ve never really liked comparing mustangs and Vettes, even if it is the GT500. It’s still comparing a four seat coup to a 2 seat sports car...apples to oranges. No matter the trim level or the cost, the 2 seat sports car will have a much bigger advantage in almost all performance areas.

There is a hell of a weight difference between the two, so hard to compare.
3,300 vs over 4,000 on the Shelby or what ever it will be. Ford is being very tight lipped about the weight of the new GT500.
That alone is huge advantage for the C8. It should do everything better.

I still have no clue why the chev fan base acts like the camaro is no longer in production....again.

Mustang vs camaro That is the comparison.


Corvette vs GT( it would seem)

Now that new vette is a game changer for sure. Buts it’s not a mustang competitor and never has been.

The mustang jumped up into its league around 03. And made it look bad for awhile. Talk about holding a grudge.

Ahahahahahaha! That’s rich!
I should be more specific....in a straight line.

Come on man don’t so premi. Lol

Your point is well-taken, but I'm equally unsure about how valid/fair it is to compare a (roughly speaking) $100K sports car to a (roughtly speaking) $500K super car.

The vette has always been the poor mans super car hunter.

That’s why I like them. Mustangs at best were an annoyance. More so with the terminator. Again in a straight line.

Give me a 350with dct no back seats engineered into it at all. Then we can talk about a corvette hunter.

To me this is no different than comparing a 4 bolt 350 to an ls.

Not even on a straight line.

Only way that happened was with a more modded stang.

Nah he's right. In 03 the Mustang could finally compete with the Chevy offerings... problem was it took a blower to do it.

Not even with the blower. Took a modded cobra to beat a stock z06. Stock vs stock the cobra got crushed!

“Modded”

A pulley and tune. Or maybe 100 shot as in the viper killing video.

So for $1000 in mods you could hang with a zo6. Not bad really.

But non of that matters. Chev stepped up big with this one. And it’s not even in the same league anymore.
