2023 Corvette Z06 vs 2022 Ford GT // The American Superheroes [+Drag Race]

The 2022 Ford GT (US $660,845 when purchased) is so much more than a pretty face designed in a wind tunnel. It has a twin turbo V6 with 660 horsepower, lots of weight saving carbon fibre, and a rapidly-deploying suspension drop system along with an active rear wing that is as functional as it is dramatic. But how does it stack up against a 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 ($164,505 as specced in the US, $189,027 in Canada) which is but a fraction of the cost and has a high-revving naturally aspirated V8? Thomas and James put these two marvels of American engineering to the test. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

The GT500 hangs and in many instances beats the Z06 it’ll be very close on a road course but I doubt the Z06 will beat the GT500 because it tied with a Porsche Gt3rs. And it’s down on horsepower. The GT500 is $89k and the Z06 $250,000.

Great job guys.

True, they all look far better in person. (Ive seen all 4 at the Chicago Auto Show).. But the Stingray might as well not even be related. The Z06/Z07 is on a whole different planet. Wider, WAYYY more aggressive, sexier & and far more gorgeous. The Z06 is what the c8 was always supposed to be. And imo its the better looking car vs the GT. The GT is awesome & more exotic.. But its more sleek & elegant, but I prefer the sharper angles, aggressive body lines/splitter/aero, and the chiseled look of the Z06. And for the price difference, (and the fact the Vette is the do-it-all daily, supercar, track beast), I think its the best car under $250k

This was a nice holiday treat. As a Ford GT owner I agree with James said. It really does feel special and the lack of sound deadening in the carbon tub truly makes it feel like a pure racecar for the street. It NEVER gets old. Mine is definitely a keeper. Unlike most owners, I drive it often so I constantly get the thrill they describe in this video. As for the Z06, it's great to see GM out-Ferrari Ferrari's current offerings. It gives me hope that the minority of enthusiasts at GM still have a voice.

[@j7b890]

current offerings? :)) the 458 came out 13 years ago! its 3 gen backwards.

[@retrograde11]

Well said!

[@BEBNC1]

@@j7b890 Ferrari has no NA offerings. That's the point. The Z06 is doing what Ferrari's are known for. Which is why so many covet the 458.

[@j7b890]

@@BEBNC1 really? 812 line up does.... and if they are all hybrid and tt is for a reason and it is obvious. Tell me of one na car that can keep up with a baby 296gts. I am waiting..... dont say the z06 because its not even close. The truth is what Ferrari ia doing now Gm will do too in some years. U just cannot every year make faster cars with lower emissions without resorting to tt or hybrid, and Ferrari draws inspiration from f1 where these changes have been implemented. One should ask...if the 458 has been benchmarked for the experience amd the gt2 rs for performance why not a single review is comparing the z06 side to side with a turbo s (since the gt2 rs is out of production)? Maybe because it puts down 10s flat for the 1/4mile every single time, let alone winning roll races with ease.

[@gsmegaphone]

@@j7b890 my man, not everything is about "keeping up". Speed is great, but some cars are bought because of the way they make you feel, not how fast they get you from A to B. NA cars, like the 458, have a FEEL and SOUND to them that forced induction cars to do not. Its why there was such a hissy fit when Porsche originally thought it might stop making the GT3, and why the current GT3's are selling for 2x MSRP. (even higher for the ones that come with a stick shift, which in no way keep up with the performance of the PDKs).

The ZR1 or Zora is the planned variant to compete against the half-million dolar GT, but this Z06 proves how efficient its driveline is, down nearly 100 foot lbs of torque, much heavier, N/A vs TT, etc.

[@corvetteZ3r]

[@ssoffshore5111]

The coming TT RWD ZR1 should be amazing, the Zora with the additional electric driven front wheels should be bonkers in a straight line, but all of this will come with even more weight over the already slightly portly C8Z. While the C8Z is epic for what it is, I still feel the C6Z was the pinnacle in some ways, and certainly on the scale...

This new corvette is to the auto industry what the Nissan GTR was back when it was released to the states. For the money it was beating super cars everywhere and it prompted all the car manufacturers to step it up. I say this is a win for all of us regardless of the brand you like, because it’s only going to cause more passion and determination within the car engineering industry. And it will be us who benefit from it all. Awesome vid! 👍🏼

[@AI-qd4vb]

no... the gtr was a lot cheaper and had a lot more character. And even nowadays it still looks better while the nismo editions are still faster on track. The vette is just another overhyped american product. Nothing quite competes with american marketing teams.

[@terrellhatch8191]

@A I CAP. The Corvette has been beating supercars, GTR included. Look at the Nismo lap times on track then look at the Z06.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

In theory, even if they wont do it, GM can develop a big block pushrod V8 with even more HP than the new Z06. The already sell an aftermarket big block with over 700 HP on pump gas. Another prospect is hybrid power, with an additional 200HP+ to the front wheels.

[@cali_nerd9122]

@@terrellhatch8191 this is correct, that’s why I said it’s the Nissan GT-R of nowadays because that’s exactly what Nissan did before. They used a Porsche turbo as it’s benchmark and made it better.
