Classic Pony Car vs Mid-Engine Marvel
The 2020 Corvette has been re-imagined as a mid-engine sports car, while the 2020 Mustang continues a long tradition as a front-engine pony. As ever, the engines are plenty potent.
The conventional Mustang and Corvette top out at roughly 480-495 horsepower with their powerful V8 engines. Should you choose the Mustang Shelby GT500 or the Corvette ZR1, you’ll see roughly 755-760 horsepower and push your supercar to its highest point ever!
When it comes to fuel economy, though, the Mustang has an edge. Its standard EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine is rated for an EPA-estimated 32 highway MPG, making it a satisfying daily driver. Meanwhile, the Corvette tops out with just 27 highway MPG.
Cargo Space: Golf Clubs for the Greens
What better way to show off your new sports car than a drive to the golf course? Both the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Corvette have the cargo space to store your clubs, but the Mustang has a little extra room.
You may have never seen a storage setup quite like the Corvette’s. Its mid-engine design means storage space is distributed unevenly between front and rear cargo areas. No conventional “hood” is needed up front, after all. Altogether, you’ll have 12.6 cubic feet to work with.
While the Corvette’s rear storage bin should hold a couple sets of golf clubs, the Mustang has a bit more room overall—and it’s all in the rear for convenience. You’ll see 13.5 cubic feet in the Mustang Fastback, all in one place to help you store luggage and more!
Mustang vs Corvette: Interior Features
Slide inside your 2020 Mustang or Corvette and get ready for a true sport experience! The cabins look fresher and more modern than ever with well-bolstered seats to grip you in place while cornering.
The Corvette is a 2-seater, and while it does promise out-of-this-world thrills, it may not be practical as a daily driver for that same reason. By comparison, the Mustang offers rear seats—and up to 30.6 inches of rear legroom, no less—for a 2+2 setup—the classic muscle car configuration!
With four seats, you’ll have the space to pick up friends for a double date and cruise around town in the Mustang—we recommend the Convertible! Share the glory of your sports car with fellow passengers.
Is the Ford Mustang or Chevy Corvette Right for Me?
If you’re ready to make an entrance on the roads of Boone and Morganton, these two performance cars can help you do it! The 2020 Ford Mustang and the 2020 Chevy Corvette fuel exhilarating adventures.
Despite the Corvette’s style and performance chops, the Mustang may be a more practical choice for many drivers. If you value fuel economy and space for both people and cargo, join your fellow Newland and Lenoir, NC, drivers in checking out the classic pony car here at our showroom.
