C7 Corvette Owners Fear New Mustang GT
Other users, like Lonegun, avoided the question, claiming that it wasn’t fair to compare the two. “Apples and oranges,” said Lonegun. “Corvette = Sportscar, Mustang = Muscle car.”
Senior member BJ67 clearly laid out that the Mustang GT could indeed hang with a Corvette. “Yes indeed, be careful for roll-racing, 1/4 mile racing etc.,” said BJ67. “The 2018 ‘stang is underrated horsepower-wise. The cars run easily 12.0s and trap 117 to 119 mph. That’s not easy to match with a manual base C7. Do your homework and don’t pick on a 10-speed auto car unless you have a A8.”
Clearly, the Mustang GT’s horsepower figure is worrisome for some C7 Corvette owners.
