Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray vs Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray is the quicker car, covering it in 11.43 s at 121.0 mph against the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)’s 12.42 s — a margin of 0.99 s. To 60 mph the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray takes 3.13 s and the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) 4.20 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray or the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) faster?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.43 s to the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)'s 12.42 s, a margin of 0.99 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.13 s against 4.20 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray reaches 60 mph in 3.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.43 s at 121.0 mph.
What is the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) 0-60 time?
The Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.42 s at 115.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray trips the lights at 121.0 mph and the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) at 115.1 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 11 for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray and 3 of 3 for the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
