Ford GT v Corvette Z06: DRAG RACE

Thanks to everyone for helping to set up this race:

It's another all-American DRAG RACE! 🇺🇸
This time we have the new and mighty Corvette Z06 going up against the fantastic Ford GT.
Let's get into the stats. The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 uses a 5.5 litre naturally aspirated flat-plane crank V8 that puts out 670HP and 625NM of torque. Power goes to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed Dual Clutch gearbox and it weighs in 1,585KG.
The Ford GT is fitted with a twin-turbo 3.5L V6 that outputs 650HP and 750NM of torque. Power again goes to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed Dual Clutch gearbox and it weighs in at just 1,385KG!
So will the newer and much cheaper Z06 take the win or will the mighty Ford GT prove its worth and put the Corvette in its place? LET'S RACE and FIND OUT!!! 🏁

Na y'all tripping. Like they said it goes for $500k and everyone knows Ford GTs go up in value not lose it. It's a great investment since some people are willing to pay top dollar for certain models like the gt40 from McQueen sold for 11 mill 😬

@@bmstylee Every car produced has tamper proofing built into it from factory. The manufacturers don't want you in the computers messing with, primarily, anything that has to do with emissions.

Number 1. 1972 HQ Holden Monaro 2door. And for future rolling starts, have a line with maybe a go light on it, then get even at 50 before the line then gun it at the line. Or a 3rd party button that starts a beeping start sequence in both cars. Because one person doing the count is very biased even if you try not to be. Only you can know the exact moment when you say go and then you don't have a reaction time basicly. While the other guy has to hear the go then react. So bigger reaction time.

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 rolling race needs a dashboard Christmas tree which are equally timed. The guy saying go will always have the advantage.

Chevy really does deserve all the praise they've received since the C8 launch. Hats off to them, these Corvettes have been doing some crazy things since they came out! Gen 3 FGT still an absolute dream car though haha.

It’s amazing what you can design and sell when you don’t need to worry about actual profits and losses.

@@hashimrahman51 We don’t need to worry about actual profits and losses . Fords motto since 1963 and their "Total Performance" program.

It would be interesting seeing the final edition of the Ford GT, the Mk IV track beast with 800 horsepower making both 1/4 & 1/2 mile passes with a better driver because designing and driving are two completely different tasks. Why did the Ford GT driver brake early during the 1/2 mile pass ?

[@paulcondie2520]

​@@DWH300the C8 ZR1 should be coming here soon, might as make it an apples to apples comparison! 😂😂😂

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

Mat Watson is an absolute moron; 'that's the difference between naturally aspirated, and twin turbos' - no. The reason why the Corvette has (relatively) low torque is because it's a flat plane crank. The regular C7 has almost identical torque/horsepower numbers, the Viper (normally aspirated) has high torque, etc.,

[@georgewettig1860]

My first car was a Mustang. My dad bought Fords. Today I love my C3 Corvette. There is nothing like a Vette. However I fell in love with the Ford GT in the 1960s. So I guess I am torn between the 2. For practical reasons the Corvette is a daily driver only because the Ford is too expensive to be that to me. Cheers.

[@user-rb4ip7ki7u]

I skipped through the video first and thought, "Christopher Mintz-Plasse is driving the Ford GT?"

[@Tain950]

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

[@Corvolet5]

You mean like back in 2005 when they released the C6 Z06? Seen that before.

Here's something we all better start imagining, when Biden's 2026 mandates kick in, you'll have a kill switch to shut you down and a breathalyzer to use whenever you start your car. Get the car you want NOW before 2026 models are out. And NEVER vote for Joe Biden or some liberal panty waste for President.

[@nikosyrros6809]

Matt we all absolutely love your content, keep up the great work but if I may suggest you incorporate the 100th decimal place in the quarter mile time ? Seeing just how close it actually was I think is pretty interesting. Just a suggestion 🤝
