I think there's a lot of ford haters out there come on 760hp vs 495hp the shelby probably didn't get to her max power on that short race.

American cars more and more better than German cars.

Ford has 260 more hp and just does get around 495 in the roll race. Put 700hp in the vette it's game over for most of the world

Dislike because there is no drag race

Mr Debunker
Both cars are amazing for the price but that Corvette has 265 less horsepower and does that! Holy cow! I have never been a corvette person but damn!

If you do not know how to stir a CORVETTE you are gonna wreck it.
Jake Breen
Spinning ain’t winning brother
yessyroks
its not a fair competition, they need the Ford gt, vetts are like 10 cylinders

Awesome videos guys.
Sam Sigrest

Vettes are gr8 but I'd love to have a Cobra in my driveway. I'll have to make do with my GT for now! Porche turbo s ain't bad either. Lol
Johnnie James
Did they say that the VETTE is only 495HP? The ZL1 CAMARO is at 660HP. IM CONFUSED!!
Brian Kozlowski
"Other than the Mustang having 'slightly' more horsepower."
Has 265 more horsepower.

That mustang looks like a great white shark with its mouth open!
Sam Phan
so is the corvette still considered a muscle car?
Gary The Cycling Nerd
With the incredible advantage that a mid engine platform gives, it's remarkable how well the GT500 kept up. The carbon package with carbon wheels, wing, and better tires would beat that corvette set up – but I'm certain higher trim C8s would swamp the GT500.

Hey guys, cool review and great 4 K camera
Next Vid on the edition lab add the tech figures Typed ON the video so we can read and hear these Tech Specs…
Just saying /./.

I’d be embarrassed to be a Ford guy. The best Ford can do that isn’t a 600k GT can’t beat a base Corvette around a track? #Chevy FTW
Bret Wahlberg
I had a c4 so I’d take the c8 for sure

The Mustang still ran a good time, I just wonder if someone were to drift the car through the turns if the Stang might do a bit better. Also, I've seen other YouTube videos where the Stang beats the C8 on a track. Also what wasn't disclosed in this video is that the Stang beats the C8 in a drag race by about a second with a 10 mph higher trap speed…but the C8 has a higher top speed by about 14 mph at 194 mph. The C8 is also having problems with its dual-clutch transmission with people reporting early failures and their not even track racing the car; so if you want a C8 badly I would wait till 2022 model year, but keep in mind too that dual-clutch transmissions are not as reliable as regular autos. People also don't seem to notice that the radiator is completely exposed close to the ground, and people have reported fin damage in numerious areas along the radiator from stones, I can't imagine what might happen if a high-speed stone hit would do to the radiator, heck they had a bug damage the condenser…but I assume soon an aftermarket vendor will come out with a screen to prevent that.

How u can compare Shelby with fake Ferrari Portofino

Numbers aside, that Stang makes the Vette look like a grocery getter

Interesting that a Camaro is quicker around the track than the mid-engine Corvette.

Why does the Ford driver have such a big forehead and a small face?
buister s2k
One of the slowest 700+ hp car ever (right next to the Demon)!

Well that was pathetic. Almost 800 horses and still gets embarrassed. What’s the point of that big ass V8 if you’re going to lose? 🤣
Gary Tomlinson
That’s crazy tho how the Chevy engineers made a naturally aspirated car be able to keep up with a supercharged 5.2 L V8 mustang is truly remarkable

So, at the end of the day, my 20166 Mustang GT PP2 was only .5 second to 1 second slower than these two cars on the track? And then, my 2016 GT does a 1/4 mile stand still in 11.915 at 123 mph (completely stock) compared to these cars at just a little faster… Hhhhmmm…. for $50,000 less and a daily driver, I can put down plenty of power and speed, so I will keep my GT PP2 for a long time as I don't want to break any traffic laws and spend an unsurmountable premium in insurance. I will then spend the extra $50K I saved as a passenger to Mars on the Elon Musk rocket. LOL.

Why didn’t they get the higher downforce track spoiler for the gt500? Isn't that spoiler the drag racing version?
Kevin Breese
"a bit less grunt"….LOL
