2V Mustang VS Stock Corvette | What's Faster?

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yes we’re fully aware of the shifting on the vette, this was our first time really ripping this thing. Unfortunately we’re still learning the car so please bare with us. We’ve only driven this car 3 times since we got plates lol. And we raced from 3rd gear and 4th gear. It’s really hard to get into 3rd gear on the highway when the average speed of everyone is around 80mph. Don’t worry we’re gonna race again! Keep the negative comments away 👍🏽

[@willcausality]

Just noticing that the tach on the C5 stayed a bit closer to 3-4k most of the time. Those 5.7L cars make the most of their power at a higher rpm. But, it's scary at first. To me it feels like you have to make the car scream to make real power, but then it delivers well. Looked fun. Thanks for the video.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah exactly we are just learning the car for sure and the power band is so much higher in rpms then what I expected! For the next race we now know how to go about shifting it! Thanks for the comment!

[@karpetcm]

great races the mustang was overall faster by a bit. The vette seemed to shift really early and those ls1's need to rev out.

[@RC-jg2fz]

This brings back some memories. I used to have a 2004 Mustang Gt with full bolt ons, cams, gear, and tuned. Made 282 rwhp n/a, and about 400 rwhp on a 100 shot. Obviously you guys already know the races could've been much better with shifting, driver mod, etc...but regardless the outcome would've been very similar most likely. I raced plenty of LS1 C5's and f-bodies, and it was always a drivers race when they were basically stock. Hopefully you guys can do some better runs next time. Still fun watching though, and appreciate the content

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks we appreciate it! Yeah we'll definitely be racing these 2 again so stay tuned. It's still a decent match up with the mustang and vette with 2 good drivers but the vette will have the slight advantage

[@RC-jg2fz]

@@RatchetWrenches BTW I see that you're running MHS stage 2 cams. Those were the same ones I had as well. Even though they say that you can run the stock valve springs I would consider not doing so.

So the shifting was addressed by the op. Just run it back when he gets familiar with the vette. I've owned a couple of LS cars and little needs to be said it would have been a different race if it was driven properly. I'm a mustang guy now and I've owned 3 s550 stangs but I know the potential of LS motors.

Exactly! And unfortunately we sold the vette but now my 2v is turbo'd so it would've smacked the vette anyway hahah

[@dannichol5279]

You need to ring out the Vette to 5000 rpm + to get into the real power band of it believe me I have a pretty near stock C5 and that's what you have to do and you would have beat the Stang.

That dude took off at 3k lmao

[@lswon2347]

Yea bro isn't even trying frfr I mean my ls1 camaro keeps up with 400whp+ cars and it's only exhaust

[@Corsavette02]

I like how he lowered the window to get the mustangs exhaust, because it does sound nice, but shifting at 4 to 5 thousand in an LS1 is short shifting....and starting a pull around 2800 is.....not good. Start at 4 pull to 6, because I feel like the mustang has a false sense of how his mustang would compare to a properly shifted c5.

We'll definitely throw some gears in the vette at some point! The 2v has 373 gears which woke the car up significantly. Yeah we know the driver was still learning the car and is new to stick shift.

Another video with no races from a dead stop...booo! You guys seem nice, and I still gave the video a thumbs up. Here's my two cents. That mustang came out in 1999. It was 90 hp less than the c5 vette out the factory. Both are stick... very rare these days. Would be nice to give a bolt on mustang the advantage after 22 years. Would have made this an excellent video. No hate toward the vette. Counting both the new edge mustang and c5 vette I've had 8 of them. Love them both. The day Chevy or Ford give me a free car. That will be the day i pick that make as my favorite. Never gonna happen...so I'll love both till I die

[@mmmmmMuffinz]

@@mercury0214 yeah but thats ALL roll racing demonstrates. Horsepower. It completely takes away other factors like torque and traction which matter significantly in a real drag race. Any idiot can buy a car with a lot of horsepower and floor it on the highway. That's lame and boring. It takes true knowledge of cars to make a car hook and go straight and go fast from a dig.

[@bmthfan1231]

How in the world are you only making 288 in the stang? Lol

[@RatchetWrenches]

Bolt ons, these 4.6’s dont make much power without forced induction. Now she’s pushing 458whp on low boost. But unfortunately the newedge generation stangs made low power even with FBO

@@RatchetWrenches I have a new edge, I know they're pretty slow. I have done everything you guys did in this video, had bugger TB and slightly bugger injectors and im pushing 300

No. The Corvette was driven disgustingly bad, literally RACING the car using 3,000 - 4,500 rpm as the powerband. The average power between 3,000 and 4,500 rpm in a stock C5 is ~230 whp. The average power between 4,500 and 6,000 rpm where it should be driven is ~300 whp. So not only are you putting an average of 70 more hp to the tires, you are also extending each gear much further before having to shift to the next gear. It's a massive, massive difference. It's akin to one car being at HALF throttle while the other is full throttle. Uploading this video with such bad driving was a mistake. It doesn't show how the two cars compare at all.

You lost me at 288 to the rear wheel on the mustang. Full bolt on. And you only got 288? Lol somebody did their math wrong or don't know what they're doing.

[@RatchetWrenches]

How lol? The car stock is only 225whp and 260hp to the crank. 288whp is where it’s sitting with the supporting mods and what the dyno said. FBO doesn’t add much power unless you boost it like we ended up doing and now pushes over 450whp on low boost.

2V is king. Pretty sure my bolt on 96 GT Mustang would be a good race for that silver C5.

[@RatchetWrenches]

They really are fun cars especially with a little boost or NOS

[@ranware2779]

King???????? Not of the modular family their not 🤣 mark viii 4v will do damage either version of the 2v npi or pi even the npi engine with pi heads stop the cap... they do sound good thoo

[@benjamins9121]

@@ranware2779 Well Mk8s had B heads, which flow well and are great for forced induction (I would know I have a blown 97 Cobra) but as for the best 4v, that would be any of them with C heads (99-04 Cobra, Mach 1s, etc), they have better mid range than b heads but flow just as well up to. N/A definitely a C head but blown or turbo B head is just as good. Then again there are FR500 heads but the difference is negligible. All the 4v heads flow very well, which is why no one made aftermarket 4v heads. There are trick flow 2v heads, which are great and bring the flow up to b and c heads.

[@benjamins9121]

@@ranware2779 Well it was odd that you mentioned the Mk8 when it was the weakest 4v. Also nice dude. I kept the Teskid block in mine with a kellogg crank, manley rods, diamond pistons, polished C heads, polished b upper, vortech ti trim v1, with custom ground cams, among other things, face plated T56, IRS swapped, coilovers, full MM suspension etc etc too much to list. Its nice to see other 4v guys. I've had my Cobra for years and have put many miles and dollars into it, both on the street and the track. 4vs aren't cheap but they are fine engines, rev smoothly, and are very reliable and durable.
