I would have to go with the Stang over the Vette. Not just because I’m a blue oval man. But for the simple fact that the vette has moved out of the hands of the common person. While you can still go to ford and buy a base stock V6 all the way up to the GT500KR/SS. But try to buy a base line Vette for under $25k.LOL!! But for the price of a vette you can buy a Vette eater! that you can bring 3 friends along with to the track (AKA Pit krew) and have goobs of HP!
This is like pitting a Porshe against a VW.

CORVETTE! there are so many videos on the net showing the Z06 spanking the GT500. I love Chevrolet but thats not why i decided to go Corvette. The GT500 would satisfy me quite well. But i do not want to get on the interstate and some Z06 embarrass me in front of my girl. I want to be the guy in the Corvette who cruises the interstate looking for fords to run down. At first i wanted them to compare the ZR1 to the GT500 because me and a good friend always argue about which one is better. But then i realized why they did not do this. The ZR1 would rape this GT500. in all aspects. think about it. the Z06 whipped it and the ZR1 is better then the Z06. Also when you think about ZR1 you think about the Chevrolet that is in every magazine being compared to Ferarris because its so damn fast. Corvette final answer.

first off eveybody has their opinions and taste so im not going to put down anybody that would prefer the GT500 because they are both bad ass cars, but for the people picking the GT500 just because of performance yall must not be doing the math, i did the math with HP to weight ratio, the mustang has 7.26 HP per pound, the vette on the oher hand has 7.48 HP per pound, now i know thats not much of a difference to feel but you have to relaize that the vette and A LOT more aerodynamic than the stang so less drag, so jsut because its the base vette don’t mean it would lose in a drag race, plus the vette has a lot better handling and braking, really the only thing the stang has over the vette is it has 2 rear seats which ain’t much room anyways, now like i said i know everybody has their own opinion and i don’t get mad if some people disagree with me but some people not all people are just seeing the word “base corvette” and basically assuming that the stang would beat the base vette in a race, also you got to look at gear ratios in the rear end also, im not sure what the ratios are in the 2 cars but just my point is HP isn’t everything in a straight up race

Hmmm, i like the GT500, and i like the Vette. but i would have to say, the 540 hp mustang would be my choice over the base model. i perefer the classic muscle styling. And the Stang would own hold its own over a base. but if it was anything but a base model corvette, the mustang would be TOAST!
