I went from a 2020 5.0 to a C7 Grandsport. No regrets. Love both cars but the handling and interior on the corvette is on super car level. The mustang needs to be modified to compete with the corvette around the track and the interior quality is not very good on the mustang. Honestly in in todays age. We should just appreciate what we have before it’s gone.

I’ve had both, 5.0 and C8 at the same time. I would take a C8 for a lot of reasons and a mustang for a lot of reasons too. Both are great cars and bring different ownership experiences. For one, the corvette will open A LOT of doors. Going out on a Friday night with the Mrs in the C8 would always get me VIP parking for free at clubs etc and people treat you like you’re in a Ferrari. The mustang gets a bit of attention too but no where near the C8 or even the C7 I had. Yes it’s a smaller cabin, I’m also 6’0 and 225lbs and I never had an issue. But to get in the corvette, or any low sports car, you go in butt first and once your butt lands on the seat, then you put your legs in. It’s the only way to comfortably do it. Long trips the C8 is amazing, but the mustang is a bit better, but not by much and I had the carbon seats. Now if you compare a C7 to a premium mustang on a road trip, I’d take the mustang, I always hated long drives in my C7. Regardless of what car you get, you’ll definitely be in for one hell of a ride and ownership experience!

I am 6’4” and there is not claustrophobic at all in the C8 and love how it’s a driver oriented cockpit!!

Actually the C8 does not have a torque tube running down the middle. It’s all behind you.

I have both. Two whole different types of vehicles and two whole different price ranges.

I've owned 2 Z06s, 5 FOX Body Stangs, 1 2016 Performance Pack Mustang and now m current 2020 Saleen Yellow Label 740hp. Corvettes are a blast and are great and so are the Stangs. I can do both all day! I just drove my yellow label to west Texas El Paso TX 600 miles both ways and it was simi convertible to the Z06. Pretty much take your pick of fun. Lol

Kudos to you for the honest review! I’ve owned a 14 GT, 18 GT PP1, and 2022 GT premium. That said, my new C8 is on another level for barely any more money. I will ALWAYS love Mustangs, but the the price of them pushed me to the C8 and it’s on another level.

The fact that you would even consider comparing a $75,000 corvette with a $45,000 mustang should tell you everything you need to know.

Nothing wrong with liking both. Too many brand loyalists in the car community. I’m a Chevy man but one day I’ll have a GT350. Now that’s a car!

Man. You lost me at “cramped cockpit” and “massive torque tube”. I’m 6’2” and 220 and the C8 has loads more seating room than my S550. And go ahead and show me that torque tube…. I’ll wait…

Justin was seen the next day sneaking into a Chevy dealership signing paperwork on his new C8….lol

Well, one's around $75,000 the other is around $45,000. Nearly a $30,000 difference in price, I can safely assume the corvette is better by sheer price tag alone. I would assume the GT500 would fall more in line against corvette in the options department, including performance features.

A Mustang is a pony car, the Camaro was beating it. Another ponycar. The Vette is just a different animal, and it's a true supercar now.

I'm 6'2 220 Ton of room in my C8 push seat back?!

I’m very happy with my C8 Stingray but I will never understand why GM made the exhaust so loud on startup and then quiet as a kitten when it’s warmed up. Most people don’t know how to correctly setup launch control. I consistently get 0-60 in 2.7 seconds

I'm a devoted mustang guy..but the Corvette for its price and performance, it's the best car you can buy right now period..would I trade my mustang for it?...maybe

I own A, 2023 C8 HTC Corvette and I had 3 Mustang GTs before, a 2007 , 2011 and a 2015 and I loved all of them but I would not go back. Love my C8.

Great comparison, many thx!

Spot on. I went from 3 mustangs to a 2022 stingray 3LT with z51 and do not look back , and the last stang was a 2017 GT350 that I tracked extensively. Nothing beats physics. I tell people if you prefer Modern American style sports and muscle cars , mustangs Camaros challengers , and you want an upgrade in luxury performance the Corvette is that car

I like the Vette. Iconic car, since 1953. I have a 2023 C8 and a 2023 Camaro 2SS 6 speed. Love them both.

I'm a Mustang guy. I have a 21 Mach 1. I drove the C8 Corvette at Speed Vegas and in my opinion the Vette is more refined.

Great video, spot on. Driven both and corvette is just another level. As an everyday driver car, I’d go with mustang. Corvette is more like the weekend getaway/show car. Love the competition of these automakers.

I actually rented these on back to back california road trips for a week each off turo. Despite their heritage, they are very different cars nowadays. The mustang still has a muscle car identity, but with the flick of a switch it can also be a comfortable daily driver. The corvette feels more like a european supercar, but also comfortable for daily driving

I own both a 2023 C8 Corvette as well as a 2019 Mustang Shelby GT, and I recently sold my 2020 Mustang GT PP1. I've not driven the Dark Horse, but based on my experience with the Shelby and the GT PP1, I agree with everything he has to say in the video. The rear engine design of the Corvette really makes that much of a difference, and Chevy has done a great job setting up the new chassis. I still much prefer the linear, free-revving nature of the Coyote engine over the LT2 engine, but the handling of the Corvette over the Mustang is like night and day. They're both great cars but are very different from one another.

One is a Vette, one is a FORD. I considered the Dark House, only cause if the manual option. Glad I went c8!

You are going to have a tough time getting a 2024 C8 for $70k. Mine came in at $90k with a total of $100k after adding some PPF,ceramic coating,and an after market front splitter and low profile rear spoiler. Mine is also a hard top convertible(which I love). Push a button and the top goes down or up in 16 seconds. Overall,I love my new C8!

There is no torque tube. Secondly, I'm 6'3" 245 lbs and just finished a 6 hr road trip. The C8 is as comfortable as my Genesis was.

(stingray) You can actually use the seat controls to move the seat back and be fully comfortable. I'm your height, but lighter and my legs are completely fine with room to spare.

Been a Corvette lover , for the majority of my life. There is nothing better than, in my opinion, than a Corvette. And yes, I owned one, and plan on getting another. So there is no comparison!!!!!

I own the c8 and I have a friend who has the mustang gt and I love them both at 2 different price points your getting great value for them I personally love the look and feel if the c8 WAY more but I still love the mustang. I would personally say to compare it more so to the dark horse

great comparison and content; perhaps in the future, yall can compare the c8 z06 and the GTD

Like comparing apples to oranges in my opinion, but the C8 is an impressive car. This is coming from a mustang owner. Mustang wins in overall utility, but for performance minded drivers, that C8 is amazing.

I own both and I also have Dodge and Toyota products so I am as unbiased as they come from a fanboy perspective. If we are talking straight up performance, it's not even a fair comparison as the C8 is in supercar realm. If we talk appearance, the C8 gets 10x the looks and love, but if we talk ride comfort for daily use, the mustang wins. The one reason I keep my mustang around is it's a 6sp manual, something the corvette doesn't offer. I also like the old school feel of the interior of my 2021 GT premium w/PP but that is now lost and gone with the new 2024's unfortunately. The prices aren't as far apart as you would think, so if you aren't over spending to get to the mustang GT, spend a little more and get the C8 and you will so happy you did unless it's your one and only vehicle making it a daily driver.

I LOVED the C8 seats. They are a game changer. I'm only 5' 10" though. The C8 is cery fast, and the brakes were amazing.

I am 6’2 235 not small and have plenty of room in the corvette it’s not that tight this is in the 2021 C8 that we have. Never sat in a mustang so can’t compare what sitting in a mustang is like. Also have a 2023 ZL1, and 2023 2ss 1le plenty of room for me as a big guy in the car.

Very nice review! Thank you!

Did he just say the mustang is in the same class as the C8? 😒

I’m 6’4” and 185 lbs and both cars fit me well. It’s the driving feel I give the C8 hands down. It just hugs the curves and with the GM Borla exhaust it sounds so freakin good. GM got the styling just right. Ford on the other hand botched the dark horse styling. The mach1 looks better and cost $20K less now. Used ones are $49K and dropping big time. This time next year maybe $39K for a mach1. Yes C8’s are plentiful and good deals can be had.

He said hide the massive torque tube going down the middle for rigidity on the vette...😂😂😂😂

Great video as I’m actually comparing these 2 myself. I’ve never owned a Vette before so I’m leaning that way. As a price reference my c8 build is approx 18k more than my mustang build.

Id seriously buy both the 2025 Ford gt and the 2025 C8 ZR1. Why be a fan of one when both are fun 🙃 🤔

Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t the GT and Camaro be a better comparison or the GT 500 to the Corvette?

Corvettes has always been the goat and the one who always save American sport cars reputation ALWAYS

I have said this over and over again. Ford need to bring a sports car that is mid engine to the game to compete on the level the Corvette is at.

Performance wise the Corvette is better. However, there's more to a car than just the numbers that are on paper. For me, there's more than just the performance on paper when considering a car. With that being said the Mustang has one thing that puts it above the Corvette for me, a manual transmission. There's something to be said for the full driving experience when it comes to rowing your own gears driving down the back roads.

I can't believe were comparing this c8 to a mustang

Great video! Both cars are fantastic looking and fun to drive. I just bought my first Mustang- 2024, GT Premium Fastback, black inside & out, dual exhaust 486 HP, good visibility; classy & classic look that gets lots of attention. It handles beautifully, but have no intention of racing her. As far as the Corvette- yes, they are beautiful and catch the eye, but I have never been interested in owning one, but if I did, would not race it. Maybe some day......

Not even close to being a competitor with the C8 come on drive a dark horse and it’s not even close. Lucky enough to have a C8 also please

The issue is the Mustang is an everyday driver. I have a 2016 GT which I can comfortably drive Queensland to Victoria 17hrs straight, have massive room for eski (cooler) tent, fishing gear (both fly and angling) clothes, slab of beer (case), wine and whisky with an after market proper spare wheel, drive on dirt roads (although I did split a front tyre) with an average of 8.4L/100km (28mpg) together with beautiful sound and handling. I guess this is why it's a "GT".

Not even close on preformance. That mustang gets beat in 60 time, roll races and quarter mile. I appreciate the mustang for what it is though.

Been in a mustang.all my life. owned 19 of them. drove a C 8 and no comparison.I love it. Still love mustang but it's out of the C8s league. hands down C8 blows it away. I own a C8 now and I get consistant 0-60 times at 2.8 secs. The car is more agile, torque is amazing and handles like a race car. only way a mustang will outrun it in the 1/4 mi. will have to bring a GT500 and that will be a close race. Mustang needs to be put on a diet.

A C8 vette vs a regular mustang gt is not something I expected to see today. Is it because the price of a new mustang gt has gotten completely out of control that it's now not far behind a C8? lol

Hey I remember yall had a video were you built up a mustang. Did yall ever do a Camaro?

I had two mustangs. Now I have one and a C8 LT3 Z51 package with magnetic ride and front end lift. I’ve tracked the car twice and it’s magnificent. I also enjoy tracking my mustang but there’s a serious amount of understeer with all that weight on the front wheels.

Soooo, what was the 0-60 on the mustang? That road surface looked pretty gnarly...

I’ve been driving Corvettes for the past 30 years from C3-C6 generations & a 2018 ZL1 they all had tons of space for me & my luggage’s never had any issues with feeling cramped & I’m 6’2 240 also you forgot to line them up in the 1/8 & 1/4 mile to see how close they really are!

These are two different class of cars. They aren’t meant to compete. The corvette outclasses the Mustang in all aspects.

Being that the Mustang isn’t a performance pack spec I don’t know if that exact car is a good comparison to the C8 especially with the handling part. But the C8 is definitely a great car I hope to drive/ride in one someday!

Which exhaust sounds better mustang track mode or zo6 ?

C8 is in another league. The camaro 1lt is a better track car lol!! 1/4 mile the sting ray beats the GT 500 on st tires. Maybe not slicks but it’s still very close. Mustang is a great car but its over priced compared to a vet. Overpriced compared to the ZL1 camaro.

I appreciate the comparison! I have a 2021 mustang GT and I’ve never considered purchasing a Corvette. And based on these comments, it seems some Corvette owners don’t appreciate the comparison at all! Socioeconomics and other factors would make me guess that most Mustang owners have probably never driven or even been a passenger a C7 or C8 Corvette. And that’s exactly what the Corvette owners want! If you’re driving a supercar, you don’t want to be compared to a lowly pony car.

Appreciate you giving the awesome Corvette a chance. I love my C7 and amazing piece of machinery and my wife loves her C6!! Mustang are nice but, Corvette handling is amazing!!

Both great cars. I have a Mustang GT. Love it. But I certainly wouldn't complain about adding a C8 to my stable.

Just loving it Bro 🍹😎🇧🇸

Great video

The vette weighs about 600 lbs. less than the rustang. It will spank a dark farse easily, no contest.

how can you not like the vette, its all car. BUT i'll stick with my gt500 . good presentation

A mustang regardless of its trim or package is still a 6 cylinder car with upgrades. A Corvette is its own car. Not a Camero that's been upgraded.

It’s interesting the Dark Horse Mustang 0-60 and quarter mile times are almost identical to my stock 2003, 21 year old Z06 Corvette. 😊

The Corvette is better. End of discussion.

I would like your opinion of the 03 or 04 C5 Z06. They weigh 3100 lbs, manual transmission, 405 hp, 400 lb ft of torque, lower gearing than base and track tuned stiffer suspension. Yes, the interior isn’t great but you don’t see it when you are holding on tight and carving the next corner. It sits low and corners hard, is more raw and not as refined as later generations, I’ve heard.

I went from a 2016 Mustang GT to a 2022 Camaro SS 1LE and will keep it a while. Love the LT1 with the Tremec manual. As much as I like the C8, if I bought it my left foot would disown me.

My mother just got the 23 Mustang GT & my brother has 22’ C8. FYI I drive 22 BRZ. We took all 3 on mountain twisty roads. So my ‘unbiased’ opinion is each has very different personalities. The Mustang is Gronk. Loud n Fun. With active exhaust that’s the party trick. It was fun great GT cruiser. No steering feel so drives like video game. C8 is Serious and wants you to drive it seriously. Definitely gives supercar vibes you feel you are in something special. So Mustang college drinking buddy you feel cool 😎 driving it. C8 serious athlete looking to win at anything. Interiors pretty equal in quality. MY BRZ is most communicative and you are driving it vs the computers in control. It’s the eager puppy. Yeah the interior is 1/3 of others. Cayman probably get closer if lightweight is your bag. Final thoughts is each of us has perfect car for each of us. Mom has GT cruiser she can feel cool & get her triple digit. My brother C8 is 2nd car for weekend/nights & track days. A lightweight RWD coupe is my heaven. Would say the C8 does temp me

Recently bought a 2024 Mustang love it so far. I like the looks of the C8 but no manual is a bummer so to me the C7 manual is better. However the C7 still has a heavy price tag for clean low miles 50K or more. So it made sense to buy the new Mustang I like them both.

Corvettes are a totally different experience and anyone who says otherwise has never driven one

I am a Ford guy that bought a C8 and love it, wish Ford would bring out an affordable mid engine car, but i won't hold my breath on that happening

Actually there are many C8 owners much bigger than you that have no issues with room(its a big comment on many c8 sites) Torque tube🤔. Anyway, Glad you liked the C8, no doubt a whole nother(sp) level of car. Now you should go test the ZO-6 version!!😏

I have a C7 and I love it. If I had the money I'd have a Mustang as well.

The c8 is an engineering masterpiece, the s650 is.... absolutely nothing new inside or out. The darkhorse costs as much as a c8 for absolutely no reason. As far as styling for c8...it definitely needs a refresh, it has too many sharp corners in my opinion. It reminds me of the Gallardo that i didnt like, but the huracan was a masterpiece I own a mustang, but im loyal to no brand. I appreciate all makes and models worth appreciating. People in the comments should take notes. Its possible.

Need the Z51 package to achieve the 2.8 sec 0-60 times… Also, who put the baseball size dent in the waterfall speaker?

The Corvette is hands down a better race car. Mustangs are great for short, speedy cruises. Once you get on the highway, Corvette spanks the Mustang into toddlership. One is meant for the long haul, the other is made for a short haul. Mustang, in my opinion it does not fit into the current market of cars. It should be a 10 second, 1/4 mile blaster for what it is. A sawed off dragster, is what a Mustang is. Should be faster than the Corvette at 1/4 miles, otherwise there's no point of having a slow dragster. V6 mustangs used to be slower, than a station wagon. Slowest car I ever drove, was a 2006 V6 Mustang, that's not right to put a Mustang name on a slow car. Never heard of a slow Corvette, or a V6. Mustangs need a major speed enhancement, in the 1/4 mile still I think. They are not really a highway geared automobile.

I’m not a brand loyalist and I tend to get bored with cars pretty quickly moving through them at a three-year clip. I’ve owned Camaros challengers mustangs Vette’s My C8 Z51 is in a class of its own in regards to American cars, It doesn’t compete with mustangs It competes with McLarens and Ferraris. She’s a keeper. By the way, 6’2”210 with room to spare, and if I can fit all of my GF’s luggage it’s got a ton of capacity.

I have a 2023 C8 convertible much like the one you drove except for the GM Borla exhaust option. I miss a Manual trans. So I picked up a 2012 Boss 302 with only 7000 miles on her. Now I’ve got the best of both worlds. But the C8 is so much more capable car and you can put the top down. $70K vs $32K and the boss is at its very bottom price wise. Only to increase over time. Because they only made 3200 in 2012 and 3400 in 2013. That’s it. The C8 is over 125,000 made to date. So depreciation is going to happen.lucky for me this is my 6th C8 and made a lot of money during the pandemic with these cars plus the new Shelby GT500. All in I have less then $20K in the C8 because of all the trades that were made.

Round tail lights would have been perfect for the c8…. It already had a c6 looking front end so it should have had the legendary c6 rear end

I have both. Sloppy is the best way to put it. The Corvette is at another level for not much more money.

I thought Corvette were around 100k these days, but I could be wrong. You can get a v8 Mustang for low 40s though, so I don't know that they compare. I have a V8 Mustang and it's plenty fast for me. Could use better steering feel. It's not in the same league as the Corvette.

I pulled the same exact 0-60 * 3.72 on my 2024 mustang GT performance pack

Yeah, I knew this would not even be close...lol

I drove my c8 across the country with 3 bags, and a road bike. The car Was a bit full, but it fit.

I love the 5.0 but why is this even a comparison? The GT500 is more suited to this comparison but even then theyre apples to oranges and dont cross shop well.

6:54 I can tell by the RPM's that wasn't in launch mode.

There isn't a torque tube in the C8. The e-Ray is the only model to utilize that area filling it with batteries.

The rear of the Corvette just needs the "black tip exhaust" option and it makes it night and day. Those silver ugly looking standard exhaust tips kills the rear look imho. I got my C8 with the black exhaust tips and it makes a world of a difference and this is also more of a taste but yes, the Z51 spoiler or the high wing makes the rear look much better too. I've gotten used to the launch on the C8 now and I think I have it down. My first run was something like a 3.5 or 3.6 then on the next couple runs I actually got it down to 2.9 as they advertised but after a few more tries lately, I got it down to 2.6 on a completely stock Z51 C8. I will probably make a video to upload of it next time I do it, I only got a picture of the result for now but I'm not the only one, I've seen several people get 2.6 or 2.7 or 2.8. I've noticed since there's so much push back when launching it that I realized that sometimes, without even knowing, your foot comes off the gas a little making your time slower since you are not fully WOT. This is my first Corvette and I am very impressed with it, couldn't be more happy with it. I've owned several sports cars, front engine/rwd and the experience with the C8 is absolutely different, I guess it really gives you the supercar feeling and it is friggin' awesome!

4 round taillights are missing, other than that the rear on the C8 is fine.

I was a Mustang guy for years! Bought a 2023 C8 Z51 and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to Mustang. Hardtop convertible is worth it too! I can have the top down, fit my golf clubs in trunk and still have the frunk for a duffle bag

Is the c8 a good daily?

No sir, they still are not direct competitors! The vette is a higher class performer. Top line mustang will only get you a base vette. Performance is nite and day.

The Mustangs I have driven tend to be lite in the rear end. Not that it couldn’t be driven well, but, it takes far more thought than a mid engine car. The down side to a mid engine car is…. When you do lose it, it’s almost impossible to recover. You’re just along for the ride…..

I Owen both, the C8 Rabit and the Dark Hours, almost the same cars in numbers, but they are different animals, an Italian sexy look for the Corvette and the aggressive muscle looks for the Dark Hours, both driven differently. I don't have a preferred car between both; I like them both and am planning to keep only one, not sure which, but I think I will sell both and get the 2025 Corvette Z.
