Power
The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette take different
approaches to performance. The entry-level Mustang EcoBoost offers a standard
turbocharged four-cylinder engine, albeit one that offers an impressive
310-horsepower. The Mustang GT trim, in comparison, offers a 460-horsepower V8.
And then, there's the Mustang Shelby GT350 (available only in coupe form),
which offers a 526-horsepower V8. By comparison, the entry-level Corvette
Stringray starts things off with 455 horsepower, with the Corvette Grand Sport
offering 460 horsepower and the high-performance Corvette Z06 offering
650-horsepower.
Safety
The Ford Mustang offers a standard rearview camera.
So does the Chevy Corvette. The Mustang also can be had with features like rear
parking sensors, forward collision warning, and more. The Corvette offers a
front curb-view camera.
Connectivity and Interior Accommodations
You won't be wanting for the latest in-car
technology, no matter whether you choose the Mustang or the Corvette. Base
Corvette models offer a MyLink infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen
display. Bose audio and both Apple CarPlayâ„¢ and Android Autoâ„¢ smartphone
integration are available as well. The base trim comes with leather upholstery,
push button-start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more. The Mustang
offers similar features, including an 8-inch touchscreen and 12-speaker Shaker
audio system, but they come as options. The standard audio and infotainment
system has 6-speakers and a smaller touchscreen. Plus, the base-model Mustang
doesn't have standard leather, dual-zone automatic climate control, or many of
the other niceties that come standard on the Corvette.
