C8 CORVETTE vs GT500 MUSTANG (1/4 Mile Drag Race)

[@LazyLemming2]

Love how you can see the extra power of the GT500 trying to make up the time, but that Vette's launch tho is insane...

[@god1st.530]

I'm real late but Hmm we must been watching a different video. Being a GM guy from birth till now and owning 7 3 -5th gens Camaros bk till age 14. To my 02 Z28 mystic teal factory color shift LS base true stock tq arm suspension small tire car. I was the 1st to put a F body on factory base sub. In the 80s, 5.80s in the 1/8 mile. This how we judge if a car can pull you bk in and even if you look at the later runs. The c8 with less H.P still Ford couldn't pull him bk in to even win the shorter distance 1/8 mile. And even the longer distance the mustang still couldn't do it after being given that longer 1/4 distance. That's how we judge if the other car was actually the fastest. From 60ft , 300ft and on the mustang was dead. That's a bad whooping in grudge race terms

[@anonanon8794]

@@god1st.530 Its not that deep dude. Mustang power bands shine on the top end. You can clearly see the GT500 reeling the c8 in quick after a certain point. This race is from a dig and i would 100% expect a mid engine car to launch better and have an advantage despite less HP in a short race. Especially if it is using launch control. Now race from a roll. GT500 skulls drags the C8. Z06 gets skull dragged from a roll race too. Its not even close. So not sure why you are splitting hairs. Its not hard to acknowledge the c8 will shine from a dig in a short race and the GT500 will wipe the floor with it in a roll race.

[@redtesta]

For 760hp vs 495hp , giving up 265hp says a lot. This is just the entry level stingray. Now the z06 is out, then can you imagine the zr1 and then the zora? The z06 supposedly pulls a mid 10 and puts out 670hp and stilll 90hp less. That z06 is purposely built. Not only straight line but will eat the corners. This is why a vette has always been called a sports car from day one.

I still find it baffling that the C8 is already this good of a performance car in it's base form.

[@bobolulu7615]

General Motors, like Ford are not new to racing in any class world wide. The C8 is the best of mainstream automotive technology at the moment, and everyone knows it - that is why there are so many races against the C8, which has become the new benchmark of performance. Yes, its 200hp down but as a base model it shows the commitment that GM has in automotive performance. The C8 really is a great car (and so is the GT500)

Yep, base model Vette against the very top of the line Mustang. The C8 is just impressive.

@@burgerbandit3646 That's not a far comparison. Put the GS against GT350R. You can't compare vehicles with a 300 hp Difference. Also that is a huge difference in road racing because no one runs just one lap. Drag racing is one pass. Road racing has multiple laps and after five laps, that's a few seconds difference. I agree that the GT500 falls in between the Grand Sport and the Z06. The next Z06 is changing everything, Revving to 9,000 rpms will be a game changer everywhere plus the ridiculously huge sport cup tires. I believe it will beat all of the C7 track times.

AWD vs RWD is hard to overcome. Porsche turbo S or GTR... Street conditions... What's really quick, real world.

[@rhett7716]

Awd??

[@markwarner5910]

@@Allenfreedom1776 My point is, where are the current GM and Ford performance divisions heading? thinking? AWD ( All Wheel Drive) and TT (Twin Turbos) are very old tech now but absent from our performance cars. Why? Just wait for the EVs? I've owned Corvettes since I was 24 so, yes, I'm well aware of the RWD platform and yes I still have a Vette along side of my Mustangs and other cars in my garage and love them all.

Curious what your engine light was about ?

[@deqkraft3870]

Wow look at all that skill driving an automatic with launch control. 👏

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks man!

[@anthonycelano165]

Still quicker than a Manuel.

[@dwaynefehr4317]

All 1/4 mile cars are auto. They just shift faster

[@dwaynefehr4317]

If you want to loose then be my guest drive a standard but don’t expect to win with the same hp

[@Hachiko814]

I bet it takes even more skill driving your 1993 Mercury Tracer 5 spd without launch control.

[@wlm2618]

Similar HP, but one is quite a bit lighter. Will that make a difference in a drag race

[@RWDC8Z]

Not even close in power my friend. 495 vs 760hp

[@eugenegrant3257]

Great runs, Mustang needs a driver. Win by any means necessary..lmao..

[@Cinnamontoastcrunch1029]

I’ve seen another video where the c8 races a gt500 and the c8 still won.

[@powerboatguy2308]

Most of the races I've seen the C8s win the race. The best chance the GT500 has in on a prepped track. It suffers the same problem the Hellcat Red Eye has. It has to be perfect to win. It needs to the perfect track prep, perfect weather and perfect driver as the C8 can consistently run 10.9s to 11.2s.

[@bbur75]

Nice video!👍

[@richarddjohanson]

You should get better times if while waiting you leave your rear trunk open to help reduce heat soak also you should get better power if you are able to get your runs in @ as close to 171 Degrees. You may want to try the AFE OEM stock replacement High Flow filter that they claim up to 27 percent better flow, I currently have it installed in my C8 without any issues and they are a very inexpensive mod.

[@christopheadrien5798]

Why 171?

[@richarddjohanson]

@@christopheadrien5798 operating range begins around 169. Makes more power at the lower end of of the operating range, better hp and tq.

[@3644Darrell]

Thermostats don't generally open until 190 degrees. No engine is going to run at 170 degrees, especially a high performance one. Also, even if you could, it would damage your engine

What are those red round metal deal on front and back?

those are tow hooks (:

That green is dope

Thanks Aiden!

[@2ZZGE100]

Dragy does not measure 1-foot rollout in 0-60 mph so you typically subtract 3/10th from the 0-60 mph, which gives a 3.0 seconds 0-60 mph.

[@techbeachboy]

what color is that green?

[@RWDC8Z]

3M Light Gloss Green

[@robertbailey1175]

The GT 500 wasn't even in screen when the Vette roasted it!🤣🤣

[@nicholasselvaggi54]

GT500 should walk the Vette almost every single time. Nice runs, great video. 😁 But don't cut before the times.

[@jerryjessop6214]

Yeah I was like what 😐

[@kurtthomas4746]

Good job, great content. Go Chevy!!!!

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks Kurt!

[@volsboy672]

That 760 HP doesn't hide. It will take it every time on top end. And it should. What if the mustang would eventually come in awd. Game over. Launch is the difference.

[@KeepingItKeith]

It's not under warranty when they watch this video. 😂

@michael Thanks brother it was a blast! @someferrariguy I think in order for the driver to win, the car has to win too... 🤔

[@skylerallens]

Satisfying seeing a C8 beat a GT500. The Shelby still a nice car, but I like Corvettes way better. Bring on the C8 Z06 whenever that will come out and it's game.

[@jaredhernandez8662]

I’m a Ford guy but The Corvette is in its own league! I love the C8. Now if you put the GT500 vs the Camarillo ZL1 then the GT500 takes the win

[@skylerallens]

@@jaredhernandez8662 Absolutely. GT500 is all raw power.

[@thagreen72]

would love to see some donks, boxes etc out there or meet up💯

[@haircafekevin]

The C8 is awesome, it would be the fastest car you can buy for under 100 grand if it weren't for the dealer mark ups.
