the C8 Corvette Stingray brings cutting-edge technology and a mid-engine layout to the table.

The Corvette's lightweight construction, aerodynamic design, and powerful engine options give it a distinct advantage in terms of performance.

However, the Mustang's raw power, aggressive styling, and rear-wheel drive setup provide a formidable challenge.
