I am no expert for sure on running the tree, but I think the Vette driver had either poor reaction time, or needs to learn to run the tree a little better?
Gives new meaning to the phrase, “left him like he was standing still.” 😂 Haha. In all seriousness, nice vid. That C8 is nice. For all those bashing that guy, it’s a NEW CAR. He’s still learning it. It takes time.
Man major credit to Ford for their engineering on that GT500. Stangmode you were super classy man. Im sure you were thinking more than you were saying. Most racers love it, and are passionate about racing. No doubt Ford's hard work has paid off. Corvette and Mustang were never director competitors. Anybody who knows…knows that Chevy made the Camaro to compete with mustang. Wow! now Corvette can't compete in a straight line with Mustang. 5 1/2 or 6 months late to the party only to get their ×$$ dragged.
That guy in the C8 needs practice. Another youtubers ran I think an 11.4 and saw an 11.3. Also stradmode hit a 3.1 to 60 on the street. Give some seat time and these cars break in some miles we will see several low 11s high 10s not bad for 3700 lbs and 490hp. Down almost 300hp Wait for the Z06
I wanna see the gt 500 against the New zo6 when it comes out…the mustang probly only has a.150 more horsepower then the vette..kind of an unfair race really..
The C8s have a 500 mile breakin period where the CPU limits its torque. So I'm assuming your friend with the C8 hasn't hit that mark yet. So before he goes tinkering with the tunes or adding turbos, get him to get past that 500 mile mark.
This is not a race, it's just and idiot behind a Corvette, I wish this kinda c*** wasnt called a comparison when neither driver is on the same level, obviously the stang will win, better driver, along with better specs, and you have special ed behind the wheel of the vette, it never stood a chance
Used to be us gear heads at the track. Nowadays it's full of pretty boys with bought not built cars. I had blood sweat and gears into my 10 second stang in the 90's.
No bone stock, stock tire Gen 3 Coyote Mustang runs mid 11’s. This Vette is bone stock. It takes tire, mods for a mid 11 on a latest Gen Stang. It takes a 10 speed auto or a DCT with a blower for a Stang to hit 10’s, a NA Stang will do it but with heavy mods, on the brink tuning and major suspension. This Vette will be in the 10’s with very little work. 9’s with a cam and heads, maybe cam only. And I’m a mustang guy, on my 4th. But my next car will be a LS/LT product.
I said last fall that when Chevy advertised that the new C8 had 495HP and was running 2.8 0-60 and 11.1 quarter mile, that they were full of shit.
I said that the car was either making WAY more HP than advertised or that Chevy was bullshitting about the performance numbers. And I was roasted for it. Well the verdict is in. We now have one on the dyno at 440 HP (506HP with 13% DT loss) and one running 11.56 in the real world. It sure looks like Chevy was cooking and over hyping the performance numbers.
Corvette guy needs to learn that the go pedal is on the right. I don't think i ever seen such bad reaction time EVER! Plus the c8 i feel is a tad slower than the c7 z51…think i will keep my zo6 for a very long time. Also the Corvette guy ran his tank dry which i am sure damaged the fuel pump a little.
