Vette's and mustangs are a dime a dozen here theyre nothing special...the point im trying to make is the Gt500 is 10k cheaper and has over 100 more HP. Thats sad when corvettes have been the poster child for american sports cars for years. Oh and they kept the leaf springs.
3,850lb for the GT500
3,000lb for the c7

honestly they are completely different cars that really don't compare... vettes are slalom cars and 'stangs are street racers


We expect a base C7 coupe to cost no more than $55,000, about the same money as a Ford Shelby GT500. That’s a 9-percent price hike over a 2013 Corvette, entirely reasonable given the ultralight construction, more powerful engine, and significantly better gas mileage.
