I had a well equipped 2011
I had a well equipped 2011 Mustang GT and was looking to update it to an ’18 GT to get the new styling, driver information toys and technology… When I equipped the car the way I wanted, it was pushing $50,000 hard, and being the beginning of the model year, discounts were nonexistent…
In the process, I discovered that after all the discounts and negotiations were done, I could buy a new ’17 Corvette for nearly the same amount as the Mustang … After a couple of weeks of locating cars and negotiating with the dealer, I found a great Stingray at a deeply discounted price within two thousand dollars of the Mustang. IMO it was a NO BRAINER.
I love the Mustang, but it simply cannot compare to the Corvette in most areas. The Mustang is a muscle car that performs and handles well, while the Corvette is a world class sports car with a lot of power. The car magazines reflect this when they compare the Mustang to the Camaro and Challenger, while they run the Corvette against Ferraris and Porsche 911s.
A YouTube search for C7 Corvettes reveals that Chevrolet pulled out all the stops to build the finest sports car they could…
The Corvette can be an economical choice with performance competing with cars costing tens of thousands of dollars more.
