Accord 2.0T Sport vs. 2020 Mustang GT Auto

I think your last comment about a bad launch would be the only thing that would allow an Accord 2.0T (assuming also the 10 speed automatic, the manuals are slower to 60 ) to beat a Mustang GT.

Car and Driver got 5.3 seconds 0-60 in their long term EX-L 2.0, and that's about the quickest I've seen from an auto mag for the Accord. Otherwise, i've seen other 2.0T auto Accords getting to 60 in about 5.5-5.7. That would be the worst case 0-60 time for the Mustang.

0-60 isn't a good comparison. look at the standing 1/4 mile times. the mustang gt runs low low 12's, the accord runs high 13's on a good day.Plus I think there is a good 12mph difference in terminal speed.
