Is one Ford GT worth ten 2020 Corvette Stingrays?
Mark Reuss, president of General Motors Co. , speaks during an unveiling event for the GM 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports car in Tustin, California, U.S., on Thursday, July 18, 2019. With the all-new Corvette, which GM's Chevrolet division showed off outside Los Angeles late Thursday, the sports car born in the 1950s is getting a radical makeover to shove it into the modern era.

A Ford Motor Co. GT supercar stands on display at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in Beijing, China, on Wednesday, April 25, 2018. The Exhibition is a barometer of the state of the world’s biggest passenger-vehicle market. Photographer: Qilai Shen/BloombergThough C8 Stingray and Ford GT are roughly comparable mid-engine exotics, their architectures differ particularly with respect to the materials used in their manufacture.
GM relied on a mixed materials strategy, using aluminum for the “tub” that comprises the cockpit and other parts, as well as high-strength steel. Carbon fiber is used sparingly, for the single bumper beam, and for trim. By contrast, Ford’s GT relies extensively on carbon fiber – which is light, costly and difficult to fabricate. Ford says its car is four hundred pounds lighter than GM’s.
Ford, by contrast, has hired Multimatic, a Canadian contractor, to build all of its GTs essentially by hand.From the standpoint of GT owners, their vehicle probably will represent a better investment once they are free to sell their cars. As part of an agreement with Ford, GT owners must keep their vehicles for two years before selling.
