Can The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Take On The C8 Corvette? | Carscoops carscoops
, Chevrolet decided to address that specific issue by placing the car’s engine in the middle. That has meant that, although the Corvette makes much less power than the Mustang Shelby GT500 , it gets off the line in a hurry.
So what does trading a little high-end power for some off-the-line performance do in the battle of internal combustion sports cars against these new electric vehicles? It actually makes the whole race closer. Unlike in the previous drag race, the Mustang Mach-E GT never jumps ahead of its internal combustion competitor, but it does manage to stick closer to it for longer., it stops accelerating hard, allowing the Corvette to start running away. It’s a predictable result, but one that proves yet again that the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive performer – at least off the line.
