That's the GM guys answer to all vehicles. "Cheap horse power." They forget that eventually, they get older. That's where Ford truly wins. While you may have gotten more "cheap horse power" initially. In the end, you're going to spend countless hours and money. Trying to keep the cheap vehicles running. Fords cost more because they're built to last. Corvette is nothing more than a rich rednecks car. The Ford GT is a pure American Supercar. Its target is not one American made vehicle. Its target is the European supercars. Corvette isn't even in the same realm as the Ford GT.

The Corvette I discovered in the Gran Turismo game, it is the pathway to challenging race cars without the price burden of owning a race car. Great respect for it because on the track with sticky tyres, stiffened suspension and a sports NA tune up, it can hold it's own against many cars that cost 5 - 10 times more. Mad respect for it, I'm impressed how the game never exaggerated it's real world potential.

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

The Corvette ZR1 of each generation always steals a few world lap time records for a production car, so in reality, Corvette is one of the few names in the car industry that's truly considered a world beater, company shared with McLaren's top spec cars like the P1 and Senna, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and a few more

I bet you can make mods to the 'Vette and make it even quicker...that little engine in the GT has got to be close to being maxed out...putting out much more power than it is now, and it's got to be close to spitting pistons out the tailpipes...Scotty Kilmer touches on this subject some.."little bitty engine in a big vehicle" or "little bitty engine putting out huge HP numbers", equals shorter life/lots of strain on the engine.

The fact that GM made a Naturally Aspirated Corvette that is this competitive to a Ford GT is insane. I could only imagine how crazy the new C8 ZR1 will be.

[@MrDerekRobinson]

But it's a Porsche/Ferrari like formula with the rear mounted engine. So it's not like they made a new archetype of vehicle mechanic. Even the motor isn't a GM original. Less displacement of a 5.5L instead of the typical 6.2......flatplane crank, DOHC, lower torque of only 460ft lbs but high revving 8400rpms to produce 670hp Totally outside of GMs playbook, while also putting the engine in the rear, which is zero corvette style. They made a new car and decided to call it a corvette so they could get it to sell. Imagine Dodge making a 5.0L and sticking it in the back of a challenger and still calling it a Mopar muscle car 🤣 no it's not. Style it like a viper and call it a charger. That's not a Mopar anymore

To me it didn’t sound like they had launch control engaged, or if they did it was not engaged correctly. And it’s pretty hard to miss the sound of launch control on as C8 06, it’s rather loud.😊

Yea, they definitely didn't use launch control. Also, that looked like the dustiest road ever.
