2019 Mustang or 15-18 Corvette (ROUND 1 w VIDEO)

Mustang versus Corvette

If I was a younger guy and carried about 40 lbs less on my body I would take a vette. Cost is also a factor. That's why I decided on a Mustang. Plus at my age getting out of a Vette is no fun. If you got the money / credit, are fairly young and fit - go for the Vette. My dream was always to buy a 1963 Corvette split window. ;)

This will be a second car, weekends and track days.

The pricing on used C7 models was too close to not compare

The vette is a no brainer for a second weekend track car.
Warrantied for track use as well (if left stock)

When I don't have to cart my kids around every day I will sell the stang for a used 2017 vette gs if that helps you at all.

The two cars in question are sooooo different, it doesn't make any sense to decide between them.

Both cars are sporty and the price difference isn't a huge margin - depending on what options you choose.

I don't understand your position here. Could you explain more? Is it because SOOOOO has 5 o's in it? What if for the OP SOO only has 2 or 3 o's? :cheers:

A Corvette is a true Sports Car, with a much lower center of gravity, only 2 seats, much higher performance, is much more focused on performance over comfort, and costs $20K more to start.

A Mustang is an entry-level Sports Coupe/GT, has 4 seats, has nowhere near the performance, is much more focused on comfort over performance, and can be had for $20K less to start.

+1. Why I got the GT. It's plenty fast as is and with a SC, really fast.
Vette has tons of road noise and wears me out after a while. The tall gearing I don't like either compared to the 3.73s in PP Mustang.

Well said. I agree that those are the differences between the cars.

I still don't understand why you think the same people who buy sporty cheaper cars aren't going to consider the sporty more expensive cars. Especially if a person is considering a loaded up Mustang or Camaro that costs more than a base Corvette.

Thanks so much to a buddy, Travis, for lunch and the guided tour of Sanibel.

I had the PDR running for the tour and will put that up by mid-week.


The rental I had was: 2018 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Stingray Cpe w/3LT, VIN: 1G1YF2D76J5104476
