[@brandonr8699]

Great video guys! But here's a suggestion, maybe put the 10 speed Camaro ZL1 up against the Corvette and Porsche? I sure I will be a much more even match.

[@ponygt6629]

I think magazines should start mentioning torque/weight as reference more than weight/HP. Because HP has nothing to do with weight, all the work is done by torque

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

The GT500 has a 1 second delay on Launch Control //// Never use Launch Control

[@EvilMerlin]

@Loco Raindrops Pay attention. They said the GT500 did not have the carbon fibre pack. No carbon fiber pack no 2's.

[@copperkeyracing6167]

@@ponygt6629 Sorry, but it does not work that way. Go back and brush up on your Physics. Its about instantaneous HP to weight ratio. At that instant that you are looking at the two, how much power is being put down, and how much weight. The greater the power to weight, the better acceleration. So, for example, from a launch, the power is lower, because the RPMs are lower, but what sounds more impressive is the torque number, but it doesn't matter, power is still down, and it takes some time for the power and acceleration to come full swing. That's provided the traction is there. The higher the mph, the easier it is to get full traction. The word Torque in laymans terms and how it is commonly used, what the common man is actually referring to, is how much power you have at low RPMs. HP includes torque in its structure and RPMs. The equation HP=torque*RPM/5252, so as you can see HP is torque with RPMs factored in. So when someone says torque, what they are really talking about, since they are trying to brag using the torque numbers... they are talking about HP at low RPMs... OR RATHER, when you are in 6th gear in a manual cruising at 70mph and you punch it, does the car move or just sit there? The higher "torque" car will move, the lower "torque" car will sit there. Why, power has not come in, since RPMs multiplied by torque is HP, and higher RPMs means higher HP, provided the torque does not drop off at high RPMS... Another way to look at it... The Mustang has always had high torque, but until the coyote engine, which is the 2010 V8 engine, the torque was up high, but the HP was very low. Then after the new engine, the torque pretty much stayed the same, but the HP practically doubled. Why??? Because they were able to keep the torque from dropping at high RPMs, which makes a ton of HP. That HP difference took the V8 Mustang from doing a low 14sec 1/4mile to a low 12sec 1/4mile. You think the HP had something to do with it??? Absolutely. Do you know where the torque numbers really come into play??? When you have all wheel drive, lots of HP and Torque, and you need all the traction and power ready to go, in an instant, FROM A STOP. Yeah, from a stop. Yeah, that's when torque matters, as well as traction obviously. I recently saw a drag race between the Jeep Trackhawk vs The Tesla Y, and the Trackhawk actually took the torque heavy Tesla Y from a launch till about 40mph. The Trackhawk actually out torque'd the torque of an electric motor. WOW!!! Still don't get it? Don't worry, 90% of the population doesn't get it.

No, they mention early on it's short but don't really say how short. I'm not even sure it's an 1/8th mile. They link to their full article where in a quarter mile the Mustang wins and is moving 10mph faster. Quote from said article: "With 760 horsepower, the GT500 would seem the favorite in a straight line. Ultimately it is. In testing at our private test track we recorded a 11.3-second quarter-mile pass at 129.9 mph. That edges out the Corvette (11.5 seconds) and the 911 Carrera (11.8 seconds). But the race doesn't start that way."

Are you seriously that shallow? The damn gt500 is almost double the hp of the vette and Porsche, technically it should eat them.

But, we all know, the z06 Na @670hp is going to decimate that gt500!

[@yusufgta4341]

@@snapperface12345 there's something called engine placement configuration. The Vette and Porsche are mid engine layout and rear engine configuration layout which gives them extra traction due to the tires being over the rear wheels. The Shelby GT500 is front engine rwd so it's going to struggle off the line compared to mid engine and rear engine configuration off the line.

The 911 power is clearly underrated as evidenced by the MPH

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

Curious what the time is around the Willow Springs Road Course Track or the performance going around the track. Good test the GT500is the Super Car, easiest to work on as well, though, not a Manual Transmission, and would prefer a GT350. Top end would use i would rather buy a manual and be able drive it than it drive me... Also, the hacking in to the electronics in the future with EV..... Great comparisons due to experience prefer none Turbo or Pro chargers. Naturally Aspirated or Super Chargers are where i'll be 👦🏻👍🏻🏁🏎

[@bgrant48234]

I'm still not fully adapted to the GT500's front end, but it's still a pretty good car. The C8's new model has grown on me and it's also a pre nice cat, I also like how they used the Porsche's mid sized motor concept too. Nice video.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸

The Stang is on bad ass ride and I have to hand it to the Vett thats a really cool ride the 911 is such an Icon that it always does well .

[@smartbot7]

I think it goes to show that Porsche really understates their performance figures! The fact that the base 911 did so well against the C8 is really impressive!

[@Marcello2005]

Ok this is also a base corvette that is half the price and the corvette won so the vette is more impressive

[@abdullabatni77]

@@Marcello2005 price is not about power alone, there is a lot more complicated engineering refinment and quality in that 911that makes it more expensive than a corvette, and even when its underpowerd by a huge percentage it can still be on par if not surpass cars with supposdly higher numbers, from engine to transmission to chassis to suspendion to steering, you will feel the balance between all of these when you are behind the wheel

[@Waffleconchocolate]

The 911 will only be on pair with the C8 as long as traction keeps back the other cars and those short gears last. The same happens with the C8, why is it so fast from 0-60 with only 495hp? Good traction and short/fast shifting gears. But obviously, when the power runs out, the car with the best aerodynamics and the most horsepower will take over.

[@kaileysweeney4240]

Chevy’s been working on mid-engine prototypes since the 1960’s. Chevy had a rear engined car in the Corvair and there were many Chevy race cars with midengines. Building the C8 was always a matter of market, will, and development $$. Now it exists.

[@PartStupid]

They also made that mid engine Caddilac Cien concept years back. The C8 looks VERY similar to that and I would not be surprised if it was just a revision of that. Oh and forgot to add part of the issue was legacy as the Vette was always front engine. But I am glad they got over that and are even now exploring flat plane cranks with the new Z06. Gonna be nuts and gonna be the cheapest 2.6 second 0-60 supercar by like a million dollars (granted the Dodge Demon can do 0-60 faster but that is a drag car and not a super car that can do drags and track).
