That does not necessarily guarantee a win especially factoring in traction. I used to drag race in the 70’s and 80’s racing modified amateur cars and traction and weight distribution was a big factor in launching. The cars nowadays have electronics to help but the Vette with less horsepower has an advantage in launching because of its weight on the back wheels. If the Vette had just 50 more horse it would never lose.
My 93 tt cobra did 10.80 at 130 on 7 psi at 4000 altitude. 12 psi it did 10.06 at 138 mph. I drove it to the track and back. On 22 psi it has another 350 hp so about 9.0 or 8.90 it could run but those cars are fast for factory cars

I have seen many videos of the Vette against the GT500 and the Vette would win almost every time from a standing start. Mid engine and better traction control got it off the line better.

It's funny how much these C8's were hyped up but all the videos I've seen shows them getting beat by cars in the same class or lower. They're very overrated. You can hear that the Mustang wasn't even all out
You are out of your mind especially since the C8 is doing 0 to 60 times around 2.8 seconds. Numerous reputable publications have shown this and they all have praised it. Try again
That GT500 needed those extra 200+ supercharged horses, being 650-ish lbs. or more heavier than the Corvette. That C8 competed well for being the underdog.

This whole thing is about price point to price point
I suppose next they'll compare a hellcat to a 4 cylinder base mustang?! Lol. I'm not a fanboy of either but try comparing cars that are comparable. Maybe the z06 next time
In price point and acceleration they are evenly matched considering you are comparing two cars that don't even exist in the same category at all... at least in dating hellcat vs ecoboost you are at least comparing cars in the same category, but at vastly different ends of the spectrum in price and acceleration, although you might have a fun race if you put said 2 cars on a road and not a prepped surface race track. The hellcats inability to have traction actually puts it at a disadvantage. And depending on both drivers ability could result in an L for the cat if they can't get traction back before the race is over.
I know nothing about drag racing or muscle cars but it's obvious to me that the C8 driver was slower off the line. This needed a best two out of three or something. Still, math doesn't lie so the Mustang probably would have won anyway.

Yeah he was sleeping. The c8 pulls on most
Why is ford soo sIow 😂
And this is why I love Mustangs but I think the Corvette driver took off late
What?? The 60k$ from factory, naturally aspirated pushrod motor lost to 85k$ to 150k$, modern super charged V8. I'm shocked.
5.2 over 4000 pounds vs over 7 liters low 3000’s pounds and no, that vette ain’t 60’000 it’s more like 80’000 vs a bit more gor yhe Shelby
The Shelby is like 90’000 bucks tje flat crank 5.2 is a tev monster
The c8 is more than 60, and the Shelby is 72k.
Corvette had no chance whatsoever. But thanks for playing
I think it's pretty funny one has a supercharger and one doesn't do when the c8 gets a supercharger we'll see who gets the last laugh
That’s very impressive for the C8 despite being underpowered and bad driver
Funny how there's never a GT40 vs corvette 🤔 oh that's right the corvette is a poor man's sport car
Im impressed......not. 760hp God tier Mustang outruns base 495hp Corvette. Lol.
The drivers were the difference. The C8 forgot to go on green. But kudos to the Shelby driver for making it hook like that.
Actually you leave on yellow
Either one of those have a chance against the GTR Nismo?
That driver of the c8 Corvette is a newbie, he got scared and sabotaged his own race by not timing the take off of the Corvette or even having launch control on ?
let's face it he just lost
Nothing new here another vette getting spanked by a Mustang
It's funny how much these C8's were hyped up but all the videos I've seen shows them getting beat by cars in the same class or lower. They're very overrated. You can hear that the Mustang wasn't even all out
You are out of your mind especially since the C8 is doing 0 to 60 times around 2.8 seconds. Numerous reputable publications have shown this and they all have praised it. Try again
lol... 700hp vs 500hp... go figure.
Lol... 4800 pound and 3600 pounds go figure.
@@joshuameade8953 4200*
@@jadenbastien4160 still yet that's a good difference my guy
Tbh 500 is always on top.
That GT500 needed those extra 200+ supercharged horses, being 650-ish lbs. or more heavier than the Corvette. That C8 competed well for being the underdog.
All you need is the skilled man behind the wheel 🤌🤌 gt500 got some launch though 🐍🐍
Someone got caught 😌 sleeping!
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, What an awesome drag race!
Why is a booster car running NA car. this is dumb
~$70k vs ~$70k that’s why
@@4digitShelby lol and that's a dumb comment cuz any boosted v8 over na v8 is going to get merked
@@darkdragonentertainment8778 it’s not a dumb point lol the whole comparison being done here is price point to price point. Like the retards saying “oh let’s see the z07 3lz against the GT500” like ok, let’s compare a car twice the price of the GT500 and say the GT500 got smoked. This whole thing is about price point to price point
SHELBY!!!!!
Guy in the C8 was asleep at the wheel.
LMFAO🤣🤣🤣
11+ seconds.. my R/T would of smoked both of those runs.🤣
Really, that's the best you got Ford, you left off the line first!!!!!
I suppose next they'll compare a hellcat to a 4 cylinder base mustang?! Lol. I'm not a fanboy of either but try comparing cars that are comparable. Maybe the z06 next time
In price point and acceleration they are evenly matched considering you are comparing two cars that don't even exist in the same category at all... at least in dating hellcat vs ecoboost you are at least comparing cars in the same category, but at vastly different ends of the spectrum in price and acceleration, although you might have a fun race if you put said 2 cars on a road and not a prepped surface race track. The hellcats inability to have traction actually puts it at a disadvantage. And depending on both drivers ability could result in an L for the cat if they can't get traction back before the race is over.
They’re perfectly comparable being exactly the same price.
👍 When Bradenton was still asphalt!
Haha, right? Good ole memories :D
I know nothing about drag racing or muscle cars but it's obvious to me that the C8 driver was slower off the line.
This needed a best two out of three or something. Still, math doesn't lie so the Mustang probably would have won anyway.
The C8 driver missed his launch
plus he's got a naturally aspirated engine with 490 HP
The GT-500 has 760 HP with a Supercharger big advantage
the outcome was easily predictable
I don't think the Mustang would stand a chance against the new 2023 C8 ZR-1
Somebody was asleep at the wheel.
Dude I've never been smoked by a pony car in my 92. Is the C8 bad?
I was told by several Corvette people that Mustangs aren't sports cars there pony cars. Any input?? I definitely don't consider vettes super cars.
Well we all know the c8 will run 11.10 with the proper driver so its faster than a gt500,good to know.
All day 2 much power for that C8 and man does that mustang look and sound great
Lets try that with a still n/a c8 z06, and see whats up.lol
Lol the mustang still got em even tho the ford gt is the competition for the Corvette, not the mustang
You should check the power numbers on the vette and the gt500. The vette isn't even close. The Ford gt even had less power that the gt500
@@datchannel1 irrelevant. The mustang gets compared to the charger and Camero, not Vette...
c8 is a lousy car, ford power baby.. eatin them vettes and hellcats and camaros up. Yep yep
Driver was sleeping did not know how to do a lunch obviously… trap speed is low because his
0 to 60 was probably almost 4 seconds instead of the 2.8 which is very easy to do if you know how to launch the vehicle!
Well that was predictable. The C7 ZR1 would probably fair better against the GT500 in a straight line (stock vs stock)
SO I WAS DRIVING THE TESLA THE OTHER DAY VIA COVID CHIP, *HITS BLUNT* I DON'T FUCKING KNOW BUT I DIDN'T HERE THE OTHER CAR ON MY MIC PASSED THE WAS I EVEN FUCKING RACING TODAY THOUGHT. 🤣🤣
All this hype and the mustang does 11.2 😂.
It actually is over a second faster in real life so…
@@gorgeusjames even if it is a second faster that's still slow compared to the money that it's marketed for. Literally somebody with a Honda that puts $5,000 in their engine can smoke that thing
@@linelltillman9709 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Worst start ever from c8, would have been a photo finish...
That's actually a really slow time for the Shelby
Shelby INO
That Mustang can go faster than that. Driver was scared.
The Vette Driver Was Paid To Lose
The Vette got dusted on the takeoff....poor driver. It's probably a dead heat otherwise.
Im here to read the corvette excuses 😂
No excuse here! I love the Ford Mustang GT. Especially in my rear view mirror: ua-cam.com/video/sYaiTSlrUak/v-deo.html
114 to 127 trap speed. Shows that the Mustang's potential is FAR above the Corvette!
How are they not going to use launch control lmao...
If the horsepower was matched game over
Facts
Vette driver did not use the launch control
Damn. The guy driving the c8 didn't even know the race had started. Lol.
Different results on the streets
Let me drive the vette. The driver blew the start. Reaction time was way too late
The Vette Driver Was Paid To Loose
Fr I'm like huh
Now put it up against the Z06 that mustang would eat it's dust it was close it needs a better drive or one that's awake at the line lol good race
