All you Stang haters, here's another one for ya. Can a GT350 track down a lighter & faster C8 @ RA?

Ok all you Stang haters, and there are plenty of you, here's another GT350 vs Corvette video for you. The C8 Corvette comes with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with a 0-60 mph of sub 3 seconds coming in at 2.7-2.9 seconds. It's top track speed is 194 mph. This mid-engine beast of a car is a work of art and a very badass track car. Can I hang with it? Battle starts on lap 2! I met the driver afterwards and he was a super cool guy! Next stop Mid-Ohio. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

[@rodneyjaynes2485]

This is something that I have wanted to do all my life! Never had the money or connections to get into racing. From the first days watching some guys build a stock car when I was only 14, all I have wanted to do is race. Dad said no, we don't have the money (we didn't even mention it to mother!). I am 72 now, and after looking at the histories of race drivers, I have come to this conclusion. You have to start early (4 or 5) and you have to have parents that like racing and have the money to get you started in Karts or carts. Even if you are only a mediocre driver, you are still ahead of 90% of the other drivers. Skill is learned, rarely a given. Can you tell that I am a frustrated driver? I wish with all my heart that I would have been given the chance to become a race driver.

[@316racingchannel9]

Everything you said Rodney is so true sir. Parents are starting their kids off in competitive Karting at ages 4 and 5 just like you said. It's crazy but smart. It's never too late buddy. I have friends doing this stuff in their 70's and I know one gentleman in his 80's that's out there getting after it. I hope you have a blessed weekend Mr. Jaynes and thank you for commenting!

[@m4rvinmartian]

You're not too old my man. Go to a car meet, make some friends... tell them that you want to work on a race car. If you were near me, I would go out and buy a engine hoist, a stand, rip out the engine from my newest acquisition and say, let's get on this!

[@BrHH772]

That's a regular track driving, not racing. And people doing that and let's say GT racing are more often 40+ at least... Never too late to try, HPDE could be pretty affordable on let's say Miata.

@BrHH772 Couldn't agree more. Well said sir...

[@hooptiehill]

If you are a Mustang hater, you are not a car guy... I don't care what you like and drive Mustang is a legend and you should have a respect. I track 2011 GT with live axle and I love it. I have passed many faster Corvettes and Porsches but that also depends on driver skill and experience levels

Good laps! :34/35 in a 350 is movin’. C8’s punch above their weight and I’d guess :32 or better capable at RAtl on fast rubber. I ran a :34.3 on R7’s in mine during my first visit this fall. Enjoy!

[@cjsawinski]

Turn 6… probs don’t need the downshift, and carry more apex speed/momentum… and use ALL that track out there on the exit! Also a little late and slow on the last turn to the back straight… which is one of the most important turns at Road Atlanta, if you don’t get that turn right your loosing time the entire back straight. But with my back seat driver comments aside, you look pretty smooth!

[@316racingchannel9]

Thanks for the tips buddy. Greatly appreciated!! 👊

[@gsellis]

More backseat (was F&C a long time ago at RA). On 5, hug the curbing on 5 before you turn in for a late apex. You dove in a little too early a couple of times. A few pro drivers will touch the curbing on the right before cutting in. That gives you the extra speed into 6 as you struggle up hill on 5.

[@316racingchannel9]

What do you drive and what kind of lap times do you put down? When was the last time you drove RA? Thanks

[@cjsawinski]

@@316racingchannel9 question was probs for the other guy… I’ve only driven Road Atlanta in a simulator. But I’ve driven Road American, The Glen, Mid Ohio, Brainerd in a 95’ Porsche 993 (purely built for the track) and a little bit of seat time in a 996 GT3 Cup car.

So here's the thing about track days. I have footage of my brother's k20 swapped CRX hanging with an R8 lap after lap. Is the CRX faster? In tighter corners, sure but in general either driver skill or even perhaps the fact that my brother's CRX is worth what, 10k? and the R8 worth? 100k? It was at the Milwaukee Mile road course. There is a wall just about everywhere you can go off. I wouldn't have pushed that R8 anywhere near as hard as the CRX either. Then I have lapped C7 Vettes with a stock S2000 and on the same session been passed by a spec miata myself. What type of cars you pass, get passed by or hang with on a track day doesn't mean a whole lot. So the real questions are, did you have fun, did you improve on any of your skills? Stuff like that. The only thing I care about when it comes to other drivers is 2 things, are they driving within their ability and are they being respectful on and off track.

[@TheWolfMatt]

I'd consider myself a Corvette "fanboy" but I don't show any hate for anything else that's American built. Those GT350's are "Hooked Up!" like Randy Pobst said during it's release of the car back when Ford had but one purpose for it, to beat the Camaro Z28 in every way possible. And in all rights, they did just that. Personally, I love the GT350's, I'd get one if I could afford one. Looking at an 08-10 C6 Z06 currently within a 35k-38k range for price which would land about half of one of those Shelby's. Carol would be proud of what that car has been able to accomplish. As far as the C8 being lighter and faster, yeah, with the right driver it is. The driver makes the car, the car does not make the driver. You my friend, can drive better than your average Vette driver can. Soon as I get that C6Z, I'll be sure to post some videos of me ripping it around Willow Springs as I have a 1:38.2 lap time to beat there (posted that in my 17 ZL1 on street tires).

Nice driving. The "X" stickers on the rear bumper usually means they're new to the sport or have less than a few track days under their belt. We use those stickers here in the Northeast for the private groups

[@316racingchannel9]

Thank you good sir! Yes, you are correct. That gentleman was new to the game and had an instructor with him. That was a combined session at the end of the day of all group levels. What do you drive? Happy New Year!

Love Road Atlanta, been going since it was built. Had to speed up to 2X for the second half of the vid so the back straight at 150 appeared at 300 mph. What a rush it was for me to watch as it was for the stang to drive. Thanks for posting.

[@316racingchannel9]

Very cool! Thanks man!!

[@KensGarage1]

Great video. Great driving. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Thank you Mr. Ken! Greatly appreciate that sir!!

Nice! Those 911s a4r running A LOT of boost.

[@jameswest9261]

Isn't this Road Atlanta? I was there years ago for an SCCA event and I know there have been changes over the years, But the tower looks like the one from that track. By years ago, I mean in the 1900's.

[@316racingchannel9]

Indeed it is!

Excellent driving .. you are a highly skilled race car driiver for sure ... That C8 Corvette is a work of art and perhaps the finest sports car America and certainly Chevrolet ever produced for the public and I own a 2020 Shelby GT350 Signature Edition ... and would not trade it for a C8 Corvette ... I don't like the view ... My dad raced a 61 Vette and won Corvette Driver of the year in 1962 and was a member of the New England SCCA for decades. But ... Let's give this amazing driver his just due. He is a better driver than the driver in the C8. But my fellow GT350 owner and race driver makes it look easy navigating that smooth tremec 6 speed while rev match downshifting around this demanding track. While the C8 has an automatic and and easier time to navigate the track, but the 350 produces better drivers if they get enough seat time ... I have a long way to go in that department. Its perhaps the last old school car America will ever produce and the GT350 is the best NA Mustang Ford ever produced for the public. The ford performance race version of the GT350 is also a work of art ($114,000 and probably a whole lot more now) and would easily smoke the C8 and most other cars due to weight reduction and the tune. A 116 Octane tune produces 150 + additional HP for the 350. Then of course we have the C8 Z06 and C7 Z71 Corvettes that are at the top of the charts and also our Viper ... tops of the track .. But I love the GT350 and love rolling through gears ...

[@316racingchannel9]

Well said buddy.... 👊🏻

[@jimallison6286]

Nice work and lovely sound. I'm not a Ford or mustang guy, but GT350 is a sweet car. I run an M3 and appreciate a lot of different cars.

[@316racingchannel9]

Love the M3. My buddy has a 2011 M3 with the V8 and it is a beast!! Love that car

[@jimallison6286]

@@316racingchannel9 I have an F80 M3 with a tune + other mods. Also love the Catalyst. Only got to use it once so far. Great tool.

[@316racingchannel9]

@Jim Allison indeed it is. I was using Track Addict prior to buying the catalyst. It was ok but not near as good as the Garmin. You're right, great tool!

[@chadsimonton5501]

Well, that Vette driver was out there just crankin' it, not even trying to be smooth. Or he just sucks, or his rubbers are roasted off.😂 it was more your driving that was flawlees.

[@316racingchannel9]

Thanks Chad! Yea his tires were pretty cooked. At least that's what it looked like to me while I was behind him. That driver was a great guy. Very cool!

[@samthing4thetrack806]

stangs are cool, the new pony cars are like an F-4 Phantom, 150+ down the back straight is awesome for sure

My God, what a symphony ❤️

[@316racingchannel9]

Lmao!! Too funny! 🏎💨

[@kanomorrow7622]

What I’m worried about more than the C8 is that white Cobra R with the black spoiler at the beginning when you came out on the track! Where did that thing go?

[@316racingchannel9]

I don't know where he went. I went looking for him once our session was over and couldn't find him. That thing was badass!!

[@motorgearhead]

Nice job. Don’t you hate it when those winged sauerkraut fermenters come flying by you…

[@316racingchannel9]

Thanks man. If you are referring to the Porsches, then yes! I do hate it, but what do you do? They are badass machines, no doubt. One thing is for sure, you won't find me paying $200k plus for a track car. I'm happy with anything American made, whether it be Ford or Chevy. Gotta tip your cap to them, though. They are very impressive cars...

[@motorgearhead]

@@316racingchannel9 - yeah the GT3’s are just bad ass. And Yep, you do exactly what you did you display proper track etiquette, and yield to the faster car/driver. I think you did the mustang proud out on the track… you’re driving did not feel forced or pushed. I’m a Corvette guy, C6Z06. And I think Ford does deserve props for finally turning the Mustang into something more than just a pony car. Anyway, thanks for taking us along for the ride. One last question, was that you or the car on downshifts?

[@316racingchannel9]

Man thanks for the kind words sir! Greatly appreciated. As far as the downshifts go, I wish I could say it was me, but it's not. The GT350 does not come with Rev match. I put in the Auto-Blip device to help me with that. I tried for years to learn how to heel toe and just couldn't master it. The Auto-Blip is an amazing device.

[@motorgearhead]

@@316racingchannel9 - which rev match device did you use? And do you have any content your channel

[@316racingchannel9]

@motorgearhead I don't have any videos about it but go to their website. You can learn all about it there. Check it out... www.auto-blip.com

[@bigtex144]

I enjoyed every second of this video. Fantastic car on a fantastic track, and I can tell you were really extracting almost everything you can (safely) extract from a GT350, excellent work! Seemed like there was lots of traffic though, maybe a big run group? I was surprised to see everything from "Sunday drivers" to full on GT3/Ferrari race cars, that's quite a big mix too. Damn near impossible to find the space to get a clean lap in. Even Lap 7 your session best had that GT3 that cost you about 1.3 seconds ("come ON!!" lol) Oh and, can I ask what exhaust setup you have? Seems to have that banshee scream overtone common with headers. Sounds bitchin' regardless. :) Thanks for sharing!

[@316racingchannel9]

Thanks Big Tex! Appreciate the kind words sir. The car has American Racing Headers with American Racing full exhaust. It's a little different but I like it. 👍🏻

love the gt350 but that c8...was like GAppleby's until it slowdown. never the less impressive.

[@qzwxecrv0192837465]

There are several factors beyond car Brand. Horsepower, setup and driver skill. The stang driver may put down better times in the corvette vs the stang and vice versa. Just watch any channel that has a pro driver in one race series driving a different car.

[@316racingchannel9]

All very true no doubt!

@@316racingchannel9 Yep, I hear it's very addicting which is why I'm patiently waiting. Glad you're enjoying it

[@CasterTown]

I'd way rather have a Mustang with a manual than a C8 with an automatic. Imagine buying an automatic because "its faster" and not knowing that your pace is going to be 100% determined by your skill level until you are a really high level driver (a level most enthusiasts never reach).
