text: ford mustang versus chevrolet corvette? what is the essence of their rivalry? is it purely technological? or is that a tip of iceberg? like, as we can see, mustang costs/ed less than corvette, so, is it a manifestation of fight beteween more rich and less rich america? otherwise they should not be even compared - two different price-classes. it´s like comparing chrysler sebring with cadillac sts. no offence, mustang fans (i personally like mustangs) there is nothing to compare.  for more than 50 years, corvette has been america's premiere sports car, while mustang was just a styling exercise on a ford falcon chasis.
