That vette driver never been to the track before. The GT500 owner brought him in, told him nothing about how the track works knowing damn good and well the guy had no experience. Yeah THAT'S legit /s
I was informed that it was the very first time the driver in the Vette was trying out the Launch Control. The car just turned over 500 miles on the way to the track and has not even been at the desired break-in period of 1,500 miles for launching. The Stingray Coupe can run a 11.12 bone stock. I have seen 3 others that have have done a 10.9s and 11.0s
Charles Rivera He did mid 11 at 119mph which is about the best a 495hp 3100lbs car can do. Is reaction times weren’t the best but the ET and trap speed were right. They both have Tremec DCT and launch control. So you can put John Force in that Vette and it won’t beat that 760 hp Mustang
i would like to remind everyone.. these are the base corvettes lol VS a gt500 top of the line Mustang this race is like putting a 2008 4.0 mustang VS a 2002 WS6 LS1 GM has other motor options coming so you'll have to watch the top end mustang packages vs the top end C8 for a fair race
The guy driving the vette doesn't own that car, nor is he a racer. He's a tech, with about 1 hour of seat time in that car seeing that this particular C8 is an R&D car that ECS was track testing for the first time so they can design an SC for it. Seeing that the C8 is a base model car that sells for $60k, looks like that, was designed & geared for long track racing, and not the 1/4 mile, like all the other cars running in this video....the C8 is a work of art that hauls ass...even on a track it wasn't intended for. Anyone that doesn't understand the concept of "base model" obviously doesn't know their ahole from their elbow. Yes, the Corvette comes in different packages. Starting with the NA base model. Which is the only variation available right now. If you then take into consideration those that are arguing the comparison of a NA car that hangs with FI cars in a 1/4 mile race it wasn't even designed for...you'll find ignorance is rampant around here.
The thing is motortrend (or G.M) says that this car do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds!! and 1/4 mile in 11.1@123 MPH super fast for 495 hp!! this is very far from that time (other c8 did it worse 12.11)...about the driver... this car do everything auto the lunch, the gears, only needs the driver to turn the car on and keep it straight
@@oXj0s3Xo it's not quite that simple. The driver needs to know the car. Needs to understand how it performs best at launch. Whether it performs better leaving it in drive or manually shifting it, at which RPMs to shift etc. There are plenty of examples of seasoned drivers making cars perform better times than the guys at MotorTrend. There are also other videos available on UA-cam of this exact day at Atco, with this driver, not even knowing how to use the Launch Control in the C8. He just sits at the tree while the lights countdown and never moves after green. He can't drive the car yet. There are also countless examples of guys putting down drastically better times in like for like stock vehicles. Those that can launch and control wheelspin turn exponentially better times. I've had plenty experiences with my own vehicles where my brother turns drastically better times behind the wheel than I do. He out drives me 10 out of 10 times in the same cars. He goes to the track 25 times a year. I go once every three. The guy driving the C8 never tracked that car before. Do you logically think that a driver with no seat time in said car, driving a brand new to market redesigned vehicle is going to drive that car to its potential? Never in a million years.
Thomas Fletcher umm it ran mid 11 at 120mph. That’s actually quicker than half the other ones being tested. How quick did you expect? It has 490hp, not 750..
Thomas Fletcher and ? The ET and trap speed is exactly on par with every other video. I’m not sure if you know how drag racing works but reaction time is accounted for on the board. The C8 would have to start almost a full second Infront of the GT500 to win anyway..
That’s StangMode car, He’s a UA-camr loads of drag experience and the Corvette did passed his breaking, But was unfamiliar with the car and launch control.
Pretty good time for the gt500. Ford estimated a 10.6 1/4 mile so pretty spot on. The demon at the end did the 10.03 which is pretty common for the challenger. Most guys can get 10 even...
C8 will destroy a GT500 drag racing unless fully prepped surface - so street racing C8 wins every time from a standstill. A rolling start is the GT500s only chance on a street vs fully prepped surface ua-cam.com/video/VM_UlbTRELM/v-deo.html
GT500 was impressive. My expectations for the vette were low--it takes awhile getting used to a car, so low 11 was respectable. The dodge at the end was wild tho! Looked like he almost pulled a wheel and dang near hit sub-10 sec. Nice!
Chevy used to mock Ford for their aluminum body, then after their sales dropped converted their trucks to aluminum. Chevy said the C8 would hit 60 in less than 3 seconds and the 1/4 in the mid 10s. See the pattern here? LOL
Jamal Greenfield lmfao he used launch control. Please explain how you’d go quicker. Like literally just explain. He used launch, and trapped 120mph which is identical to all the other cars. You don’t know shit..
Lol you mean every year the vet beat it its going against base vett vs top mustang 200hp advantage zr1s will take its lunch money look on streetspeed717 channel his Zr1 has some mods nothing crazy it wallks gt500 like there sitting still
This is a perfect example of someone that doesn’t know launch control has a delay on it and it’s much better to just do it naturally unless you know how to use launch control.
My question is which one will break down first and have cracking plastics and peeling paint? I had a 2010 GT500. It lived at the dealership service shop.
C8 driver needed ASAP. the best the C8 has done is an 11.1. the GT500 can beat that with traction. on the street it may be a different story. but this is the entry 'vette. this video would have been much better without the stupid comments in the background and just hearing these two fabulous cars.
Broken & Broke and the demon was stock doing better time than the Shelby. If there’s a Shelby doing 9.1 then it’s not stock so stop ✋ compare mod to mod because all you ford guys have to pull out the mods because there isn’t a stock mustang that is faster than the stock demon or it would be all over the news!! Btw there is a demon that does 8.7 with a full interior street legal.
put him in the vette and put the vette driver in the mustang and let me see the results. THEN we'll truly see what difference the driver makes. and spoiler alert it won't make any difference as drag races like i always say are HORSEpower races not MANpower races
@@legendarymotors1718 you guys are right about reaction time a better reaction time is a closer race but i still think the mustang would win it has too much HP
Michael Chang The owner needs to learn the launch control system, they have various rpm settings. This was probably just him learning the system and trying to figure things out. The Shelby GT500 just came out as well but he obviously knows his car.
@@janetsminten8196 I'm actually not so sure about that. The shelby gt500 has never performed that well in drag racing situations.

KILLROZE umm he was running identical, if not quicker times than everyone else who’s tried. Most people were getting high 11’s or even in the 12’s. 11.5@120 is what this car will do on an average day. Not sure how you expect more, it’s not a supercar
- ManillaZilla he used launch control lmao. And it only trapped 120 mph. Please tell me how you’d do better. Do you have a secret launch control button where it adds plus 150hp?

Elapsed time has nothing to do with the reaction time. The Vette got smoked. I figured the Mustang would win but not that bad. The 2.9 0-60 of the Vette should give it almost a second head start. That Mustang is badass
Lmao at all the corvette fanboys saying he doesn’t know how to drive. Please explain how you expect the car to go quicker.. he had a late reaction sure. But he used launch control. Wouldn’t matter if it was a pro driver or an amateur driving, they’d get the exact same time.. 11.6@120mph is actually quicker than most people have been getting too. Keep rolling in the excuses.

Arnold Kevorkov umm he used launch control. Please tell me how you would have gotten a better time? 11.6@120 is the same as what everyone else is getting..
Arnold Kevorkov lol you do realise that the ET ( time on the board) isn’t effected by the reaction time? Even if he got the perfect reaction, he’d still lose. Gt500 is a full second quicker
Arnold Kevorkov I’m not. Just laughing at the chevy fans who think the C8 is quicker than it is. It’s a mid 11 sec car at 120mph most of the time. GT500 is a high 10 sec car at 130mph. The driver did nothing wrong but react late, like that even matters when the GT500 demolished it anyway
Depends on what you consider "same category". If you mean price, then yeah. Hell yes they're worlds apart. The GT500 base price is significantly more. The Vette would also smash that mustang on a road course.
@@randoawesomemix9501 if you wanna throw in price and say that makes them comparable then a regular Mustang GT with a dealer installed supercharger will donkey stomp both...
@02autogt #1 you have the gayest mustang ever #2 if you're going to pay $45k for mustang GT that goes straight really fast and still sucks at turning by modern standards, you're robbing yourself of the opportunity to just buy or BUILD a more purposeful and WAY faster car for less money. There's 9 secondd cars on a trailer for sale at the strip every Sunday for $20K
Base C8 did well , for sure the C8 Zo6 will destroy this mustang mess. I seen a C7 Zo6 beat the GT500. The C8 has jointed the mid engine club and has left the front engine boys. I guess it’s now just Ford and Dodge for front engine cars since the Camaro won’t be made anymore.
Not to take away anything from the Mustang (it’s bad), but if the Vette had a driver that had any clue of what they were doing, and had gotten some experience somewhere between the showroom and the strip, the outcome would have been a much closer race. Just saying...
@@NAWF.MEMPHIS.KING.901 The pass i made before the C8 was this one of me taking down a GT350 ua-cam.com/video/qwJCBwSaxKY/v-deo.html Also took down a modded challenger but you need to go to the channel modern red hemi to see my runs against him.
@@janetsminten8196 it is...only thing missing is the supercar price tag. Its got speed, acceleration, the looks, cool practical features (that other supercars don’t even have) and it turns heads like supercars do also :) To me it fits every criteria for that tittle.
The timer starts independently in each lane. They're not really racing each other. The tree counts down equally but the timing lasers only start when vehicle rolls.
I drag race and the last time I raced I cut a perfect light and I cut good lights during every pass I've done aside from one red light, so that guy in the Vette clearly needs some practice
A lot of butt-hurt Chevy guys here. It's still a top of the line Mustang against a base vette. Still a highly anticipated matchup from two heavyweights
Might want to learn how to drive your car in race mode, BEFORE going to a race? That proved nothing. Both cars are badass but the Vette should kill it off the line and the GT500 'might' come close at the end.
Pretty solid run (reaction time?) for the base C8 considering it's against the top Mustang GT500! I wonder how a C8 does against a base GT Mustang? 🤔 😆 The Z06 is coming and then it will be apples to apples...
@@burgerbandit3646 just watched a C7 Z06 STOMP a base GT Mustang! This is what "Apples to apples" means used with reference to a comparison regarded as valid because it concerns two things that are fundamentally the same. The more you know.... 😁
@@michaelgypin3105 I can see you're going to act like you don't understand what is being said! Let me ask you this if it were the gt500 against a zr1 wouldn't that have been a better comparison!?! Would you race a Bmw M5 against a Mercedes Benz E63 S or wouldn't you get the M5 competition package?
The vette cost more then the Mustang....so, saying it aint fair is not a valid excuse. The base vette 2LT costs more then the top line Mustang....uh oh!!

I honestly think its the driver of the Corvette. Or maybe Corvette ,all show no go. However great work ,for the 2020 shelby.
William Lafre 11 50 is fast man
William Lafre 11.5 at 120 is quicker than half the other ones being tested.. who cares if he reacted late, the time on the board says it all
Tell the driver of the Corvette to let someone who can drive take over! Jack
495hp vs 760hp
Mid engined and lighter by far.
No enough for a 265 horsepower difference though.
Best part was the doggo at the end
Lolll Ford guys all excited that a 760 hp Mustang wins against a 495hp Corvette
No, just run what you brung
Theyre not even in the same category segment, if the C8 performs like that, i can even imagine what the ZR1 is going to be like
So your saying zr1 and gt500 is in the same category? I don't know about you but the same categories for gt500 is only hellcat and zl1 camaro.
Depends on what you consider "same category". If you mean price, then yeah. Hell yes they're worlds apart. The GT500 base price is significantly more. The Vette would also smash that mustang on a road course.
@@randoawesomemix9501 if you wanna throw in price and say that makes them comparable then a regular Mustang GT with a dealer installed supercharger will donkey stomp both...
@02autogt #1 you have the gayest mustang ever
#2 if you're going to pay $45k for mustang GT that goes straight really fast and still sucks at turning by modern standards, you're robbing yourself of the opportunity to just buy or BUILD a more purposeful and WAY faster car for less money. There's 9 secondd cars on a trailer for sale at the strip every Sunday for $20K
Chevey hasn't made a car that can beat the shelby gt500
No Shelby should ever be green, except British Racing Green
Mark W oh man, a British Racing Green Shelby would be 😍. The Bullit sure looks good in it, but a Shelby would be even better. Never thought of that!
The vette dude needs to wake up and put his prune juice down. Warm the tires up and wake up at the start
I thought camping wasn't allowed on the track.
Lmao that Shelby was literally dogging that c8 around
Base C8 did well , for sure the C8 Zo6 will destroy this mustang mess. I seen a C7 Zo6 beat the GT500. The C8 has jointed the mid engine club and has left the front engine boys. I guess it’s now just Ford and Dodge for front engine cars since the Camaro won’t be made anymore.
Whats sad is the vett is a class higher than the mustang meaning the mustangs competitor is the camaro. Go FORD🐎
Awesome video both are great cars
Hello the Vette is giving up some HP. So how is this fair?
mustang is much heavier
With a good driver the corvette wins ever day it's been proven already
Who’s grandmother is driving the vette?
Love the Shelby's putting it on the Vette..
Damn the Shelby destroyed em. Mustang gang 🐎
Gang Gang!!!
Is the c8 driver taking a nap at start line ?
Mustang would still win regardless if the vett dude knew what he was doing or not
He was looking at the sale of New Balances at Kohl’s...
If you think this regular C8 is lame, there are videos of Hellcats turning 13 second 1/4 miles.
Well this is what you get when you race a Ford 😂
We got lucky it didn't go left and hit him, I guess it doesn't look like a curb with people by it.
Well the Shelby is supercharged, we can’t forget that !

The corvette driver liked the lullaby so much that he slept through the start twice.

Shelby not only knows how to build a fast car but hire a driver that knows how to drive
hire?
I have a Ford Mustang 5.0 GT and I am now in shock! I think the Corvette driver nodded off.
Not to take away anything from the Mustang (it’s bad), but if the Vette had a driver that had any clue of what they were doing, and had gotten some experience somewhere between the showroom and the strip, the outcome would have been a much closer race.
Just saying...
I raced in my blue 5.0 right before the C8 made its 1st pass.
Stang gang
@@NAWF.MEMPHIS.KING.901 The pass i made before the C8 was this one of me taking down a GT350 ua-cam.com/video/qwJCBwSaxKY/v-deo.html Also took down a modded challenger but you need to go to the channel modern red hemi to see my runs against him.
Did the guy in the Vette drop his sandwich?
You forgot to wake up the Corvette driver
You mean to tell me you don’t automatically become a good driver when you buy a new super car?
Corvette C8 a "super car" lmfao
Lol no. You still need to build skills.
@@janetsminten8196 it is...only thing missing is the supercar price tag.
Its got speed, acceleration, the looks, cool practical features (that other supercars don’t even have) and it turns heads like supercars do also :)
To me it fits every criteria for that tittle.
The timer starts independently in each lane. They're not really racing each other. The tree counts down equally but the timing lasers only start when vehicle rolls.
Bette driver has bad reaction time but mustang would have still won in dead match if you go by numbers on end and subtract his slow reaction
reaction time has no bearing on his et time!
I drag race and the last time I raced I cut a perfect light and I cut good lights during every pass I've done aside from one red light, so that guy in the Vette clearly needs some practice
A lot of butt-hurt Chevy guys here. It's still a top of the line Mustang against a base vette. Still a highly anticipated matchup from two heavyweights
As a Vette enthusiast I’m embarrassed. Just because you can buy the car Doesn’t mean you know how to drive it. That should be a much closer race.
Might want to learn how to drive your car in race mode, BEFORE going to a race? That proved nothing. Both cars are badass but the Vette should kill it off the line and the GT500 'might' come close at the end.
Pretty solid run (reaction time?) for the base C8 considering it's against the top Mustang GT500! I wonder how a C8 does against a base GT Mustang? 🤔 😆 The Z06 is coming and then it will be apples to apples...
apples to apples? Yea because a TT, mid engined hybrid that weighs 500 pounds less is apples to apples. The vette got killed, get over it.
@@burgerbandit3646, ok bro!
@@burgerbandit3646 just watched a C7 Z06 STOMP a base GT Mustang!
This is what "Apples to apples" means
used with reference to a comparison regarded as valid because it concerns two things that are fundamentally the same. The more you know.... 😁
@@burgerbandit3646 💯
Whats funny about that, i feed my cobra apples
Excuses excuses if the Chevy would have won boy oh boy the talking would have begun
Well I mean yea if a base vette beat a gt500 that would be hilarious
Michael Gypin Fact's🤣🤣🤣
@@Dopecx listen to what you are saying BASE VET....really
@@michaelgypin3105 I can see you're going to act like you don't understand what is being said! Let me ask you this if it were the gt500 against a zr1 wouldn't that have been a better comparison!?! Would you race a Bmw M5 against a Mercedes Benz E63 S or wouldn't you get the M5 competition package?
The vette cost more then the Mustang....so, saying it aint fair is not a valid excuse. The base vette 2LT costs more then the top line Mustang....uh oh!!
Wait wtf! When did Atco open up again? Racing every sunday now like the regular season?
Was there a corvette in this video?
