Sure, recently (well..starting in '03 with the Terminator) horsepower numbers have been relatively close, but the Vette is, and will continue to perform at a higher level than Mustangs. Seriously, it takes my car 662 hp to compete with a 505hp C5Z, and next years 450ish hp base/z51 will be nearly as quick.

If anything the Mustang over achieves in some performance metrics, but its definitely not aiming at the Corvette any time soon.
With a top dog Vette, no. But with a base or mid model, why not, as the new Mustang is performance testing along side a Boss 302S race car.
