Corvette C4 vs. New generation Mustang?

Question

If we put together to race a Corvette C4 lt1 with manual transmission and a Mustang GT 2005 with auto transmission, which one of these might win? They have similar performance numbers, but what do yo think?

Answer 1

The Corvette C4.

Same HP, but more torque, a lighter body, a manual transmission, and a more aerodynamic body.

The Corvette would win easily.
