Anyway, possibly an electric power steering (already used in some Mustangs converted to RHD in Australia or New Zealand) and all-electric A/C would also be fitted alongside the start-stop when it gets into the Corvette. Even the increased electric load, thus requiring a beefier alternator, would actually reduce the engine's effort compared to driving a power steering pump and an A/C compressor, benefitting not just the performance but also the fuel-efficiency.
All 2011+ mustangs come with electronic power steering
