Alright, we’ve got a quarter mile matchup between a C6 Chevrolet Corvette and a newer Ford Mustang EcoBoost model. Since Ford introduced their new turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in the latest Mustang, the little mill has received impressive reviews. In the hands of tuning shops, the EcoBoost Mustang has proven to be a very quick pony car. In fact, some of the EcoBoost Mustangs are running in the 11-second range, which is more than quick enough to beat a stock C6 Corvette.The problem for this EcoBoost Mustang is that it hasn’t been worked by a tuning shop, but the C6 Corvette in the near lane has. Based on the performance, we would guess that this Mustang is bone stock. However, we do know that the white Corvette has been fitted with a supercharger. In fact, as the Corvette rockets down the track, leaving the Mustang bus-lengths behind, it seems likely that this is not just a C6 with a blower.As soon as the light drops, the blown Corvette blasts away from the line while the Mustang driver can only watch as he takes his beating. What a beating it was.This white C6 rips down the track to the tune of 10.92 at 128 mph while the Mustang runs 15.17 at 95 mph. The EcoBoost Mustang might be able to run solid times with some work, but this video shows what happens when the 4-cylinder pony car runs into a blown Chevy supercar.Tags: c6, c6 corvette, Corvette, Drag Race, drag race monday, ecoboost, LS3, Supercharged
