#ChevyCorvette #C8 #Porsche911 #ShelbyGT500
We went into this thinking the GT500 would dominate and the 911 would come in dead last. Boy did we have some surprises waiting for us! Read the full story: edmu.in/33AXbwc
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.
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
The GT500 has a 1 second delay on Launch Control //// Never use Launch Control
@Loco Raindrops Pay attention. They said the GT500 did not have the carbon fibre pack. No carbon fiber pack no 2's.
@@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.
Is this a car show or a talkshow? Less talking more driving!
Right! Let the cars do the talking.
Agree
You are so right! They should STFU and drive.
They are trying too hard to be funny and entertaining and reach the opposite effect.
Yeah
if 5 minutes are important to you, jump to the 5:45 mark for race 1, to 9:40 for race 2 and to the 13:00 for the final
Bless u. I don’t need to hear these guys talk for 15 minutes!!!!
This guy talks alot annoying
my hero
Thank you later?
Thank you!!
Corvette performance and price compared to the others it’s been compared to has held up very well! Congrats to Chevy on making a super car affordable
A C8 isnt anywhere close to supercar levels, lol. Motortrend just did their Best Driver's Car competition and you can see what real supercars do. The C8 is a great sports car but supercars are on another level entirely. Heck, even a 4 year old Camaro SS was quicker than the C8. That is pretty embarrassing.
@@EK-rr2md cost versus performance then the C8 should be the hands down winner. If they waited for the Z06 or ZR1 model to compare then that would have been a closer comparison. And come on...I have a H/C/I Camaro SS and it’s not faster than a C8 🤒 Give it some credit!
@@joe00camaross Look up the results...a 4 year old Camaro SS did better than the C8. It is what it is. Of course Corvette has always been really good bang-for-your-buck but it just doesnt compare with supercars.
@@EK-rr2md and I agree. That’s why I said it did pretty good based off the price versus the competition they put it up against. That and price to maintain the other cars...I’d take a C8 over them. Convertible though 😃 But eagerly awaiting the Z06 and or ZR1 versions to see how they stack up.
@@EK-rr2md This Corvette didn't have a super tune. Tuning is everything. Give it some credit. Dollar for dollar.
1st race starts at 5:45, 2nd one starts at 9:45 and the roll-on starts at 13:03
Thank you
Thanks
This could’ve been a 5 minute video and you still would’ve had plenty of time to explain everything. Way too much unnecessary filler.
But then they couldn't cram 10 ad cuts into it.
It’s like a terribly unfunny drawn out version of a car wow video
my exact thought, i kept fast-forwarding holy cow that was drawn out
car wow drag races are drawn out a lot as well. I felt no difference
@@thelarry383 most car wow videos are 10 min...and include stopping and rolling races...this was 17 min of 3 drag races....that's like saying the sun is almost the same size as the earth :) ....
@@jasondoe5741 The experience of fast forwarding was the same for me. That's all
Go watch CarWow then, you mong.
I think the guy in the gt500 was struggling on the launch but the roll race really shows his performance
Yeah because the GT500 is a heavy ass front engine car with too much power to launch lol 3.3 0-60 vs 2.9 in the vette
Lmao would never buy a gt 500 cars with 300 hp less faster in quarter mile EMBARRASSING
@@donaldkinder6716 lol try racing it ur 300hp less car when u meet on the highway 🤣🤣
Yep they will win that race. C8 is a track car not a drag car though.
@@logan204 Do you understand what it takes to win a race around a circuit? Its def not a 0-60. to win circuit races it requires top end acceleration so that you can overpass.
It's been said many times that 0-60 MPH is about traction and 1/4 mile/roll racing is about HP. This video adds to the volumes of proof that no truer words have been spoken.
Brah, my Corvette's (C7) rear has slipped out even at 60mph if I go full throttle....but I got the all season tires which may be the culprit, Sticky tires really do make a difference
Add tires Shelly's gone
Please invite me to drive the GT500 next time! 😂 #drivermod
Please do. These guys are novice.

Hats off to all 3 cars!!! Mustang for being 500+ lbs heavier, Corvette for being the only n/a car, and Porsche having only 6 cylinders and 3L engine capacity!! They are all winners!!!
Points to the GT500 for having the worst driver as well.
Points to the c8 for looking the sexiest
Points to the Porsche for being way down on power
Points to the Porsche for being the better car 💯!!!!
@@davidsilvasgarage6029 Fact! All Facts, and nothing but the Facts! I'm waiting for the 2024 Z06 Convertible..
This is the worse I’ve ever seen a GT500 driven. Goodness gracious.
It's in the wrong conditions. Take it to a proper drag strip and it be a completely different story.
Then checkout the GT500 vs M4. It’s even worse there. Dude did a rolling race at 40mph in 3rd gear! Even the M4 guy was smart enough to do in 2nd gear. My 5.0 can do almost 50mph in 2nd gear and he launched it at 3rd. SMH.
Not really. Temperature and road surface played a lot into the GT500 not getting traction. You did notice he was driving it without traction control aid?
GT500 brakes were still on by the time the other two cars were more than a car length ahead. How that 1/2 second late start wasn't noticed is beyond me. Clearly driver error. Of course he does well with rolling start. A chimp could have done that...
Not even that wait till you see them test a C8 ZO6. Best part is GM is now enforcing dealers to charge no more than msrp and might cut their allocations if they do.
This is a master-class in how to stretch out a video
30 seconds of content stretched into 15 minutes.
16 minute video that could have been 8 minutes without all the yap, yap, blah, blah, blah!
I agree. I hate those bullshit.
Its actually a show...no problem if there is a legit plot development...sheesh! 😬
I cant stop been amaze of Porsche performance and thats just the base 911.
Don't mess with a Mustang 🔥🔥
Especially when standing in a crowd!
Especially when they convert the Mustang into an AWD, though it's an RWD(and it's pretty hard to launch).
@@cw3982 Bro so original and funny man.
First a Bugatti can beat a mustang
Gt500 driver drives like he's driving a camry
Explain
@@ibrahimhadid9257simple- it means that he doesn't know how to drive a performance car, in this case that gt500
@NarrowPath nope! It's the right car, wrong driver
@NarrowPath it can launch quite well actually 😂 you just have to know how to drive it
Some of you need to take a physics course 😆
This video went exactly how i expected it to go. The mustang would lose the drag race but absolutely eat on the roll race.
The mustang should win in the 1/4 also. Needs a driver
Yes sir. That is a lot of horsepower to put down from 0 to ? But rolling it on, that thing is a freaking BEAST!!
@@andre49ers it’s also the surface. Those times are on prepped surfaces I believe
Its real easy to google online for manufacturer's specs; on a prepped drag strip. When it comes to real-world performance, these guys did a good job to display how this might turn out if you pulled up at a red light to any of these cars driving one of the others.
@@andre49ers More HP doesn’t automatically mean you’ll win in a drag race... The drag race went exactly how it was supposed to go.
The Vette has weight over the rear wheels and it has very good launch control.
Is it possible to launch the mustang in 2nd❓ to dial back some time spinning with taller gearing 🤔 I guess I would try it if it was a manual 😅
Seems like they’re running a 1/8 not a 1/4
fr but i think it’s just that fast
It's the 1/4
@@ytsux9259 Nah, they're at Willow springs. At most, that's 1,000ft.
They all run a quarter under 12 already that’s what the facts about the cars say
@@osoufmiller5499 Yeah true however that's not realistic on and unprepared track surface. Also they are going down hill I didn't notice that before. check out 13:16 on the video you will see.
The 911 is such a masterpiece
It is a well engineered vehicle. But I am not a Porsche guy. I don’t care at all for the looks of them. The only ones that make good engine noises are the naturally aspirated 3.8L and 4.0L flat six. The only Porsche I’ve ever thought was half way decent looking was the Carerra GT. That V10 made some wonderful noises as well.
@@markball7028 Amen. Carerra GT>>>>>everything else
It's Tiny. Made for Little Rich People.
@@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8 lol you don't have to be rich to have a 911
@@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8 Keep that GT500 at home, we all know they’ve done zero at setting any track records anyways.
The engine over the rear wheels really helps.
Yeah.. that 911 rocks! Just goes to show, even the entry level 911 is awesome!
Is this really a quarter mile seems short
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."
It was really a very short distance... or else the gt 500 will catch them
👍🏼 Looks like a 1/8th mile strip
Unpreped 1/8th mile.
Starts at 05:50
Thx i am studying and just want the drag
Underrated comment!
These guys talk so much, just wanted to help everyone get to the point of the video
Pitch meeting for this episode: "Let's do a step-by-step on how to activate the launch control. And let's make sure it takes longer than the actual race." "Yes!! That's brilliant!"
Don't like it? Then go elsewhere. Every enthusiast channel has to be different generally for targeting a specific audience or then KZhead would be boring to watch. Plain and simple.
@@Meldium I love it. I lost the owner's manual for my GT500, so through this video, I learned how to activate the launch control. Im ready to eat Jettas for lunch. Worst-case scenario, when I need to fall asleep, I'll watch one of these videos. Thanks for your reply!
So Porsche has a weight advantage, GT500 has a huge HP advantage, Chevy splits the difference. 3 ways of getting to about the same place. I'll take the Vette because it has the most presence anywhere you go & I'm not a fan of engine life with boosted engines.
"So then, What exactly happ.." oh wait
🤣🤣
LOL😂
😂🤣🤣
Carwow 🤣🤣
Matt 😭
911 turbo s (992), that's the beast!
I concur. My s550 struggles to grip the road and launch versus other sports cars I've owned, but it has great power and stability once you get going. I'd love to test drive that c8 though!
The s550 isn't a sports car, it's a luxury car.
@@Kevin-xv2nh its a grand touring car idiot. its literally in the name "GT" why would you ever think its a luxury car. Most "sports" cars nowadays are not real sports cars anyway
Why didnt you have the C8 Z51 package on it or did you have that package on the C8?
This shows how much grip means - not all about HP - especially at lower speeds.
A big part of it is driver error as well. On the second run the GT500 got going faster than the initial run and he still struggled to keep the damn thing balanced. Even if you lose traction you should be able to keep the front end straight. I bet that with a more unphased driver the GT500 would have lagged a bit less. I still don't think it would be faster than the other cars in an 1/8th mile but this wasn't at all an accurate representation of how they accelerate from a dig.
Thanks to all commenters who are mentioning other cars that are faster.
😂😂😂😂 Man you got me.
Agreed....there is always a faster car out there.... I would take any of these, I drive a 2008 Sonata. And my son gets his C8 tonight...yes I am jealous.
@@mshinn13 at least you got that +30 mpg lol.
Haitham Alkalbani And mine is paid off. But my son has a 2017 C7 currently, thought he was trading it in for the C8, turns out he paid the C7 off already. So, I get to drive the C7 anytime I want, not gonna get the keys to the C8 for the weekend
@@mshinn13 lmao 😂. You are lucky
Thanks guys . Great video
Can we get someone who knows how to race to drive the gt 500. Especially when I've seen first hand pros drive against each other with the exact same cars and the gt500 dominates them.
Please!!
Yep. Unless you are a very experienced driver it takes time to learn how to put the power down on a Shelby.
It's hard to launch a front engine layout against rear end mid engine layout cars.
Are you seriously that shallow? The damn gt500 is almost double the hp of the vette and Porsche, technically it should eat them. The fact that the Na vette beat the "turbo Porsche" and "supercharged gt500" should tell you the z51 is a much better car. A real comparison, gt500, c8 z06 and a gt2 would be a better comparison. But, we all know, the z06 Na @670hp is going to decimate that gt500!
@@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. Mid engine and rear engine configuration cars have superior acceleration to front engine cars.
Enjoyed the content, but it felt as if I was watching a knockoff version of Drag Racing on Carwow. 🏁🏎️ 💨
HAHAHAHAHHA seriously my brain defaulted to Carwow and I was expecting Matt...then they started talking...then the sad drag race.
Same format. Did they do a brake test too?
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 .
How about turning the traction control off on the GT500 to get more traction?
Isn't it the same surface and dust for all of them?
Love how I constantly see these videos from editors who cant drive.
Exactly right that just annoying.
Corvair, Fiero....so nerdy dude was wrong...GM has some experience with making a rear engine car.
@@layne4376 I'm sure you still appreciate the Fiero when you see one on the road. My neighbor has one, and he gets a whole lot of looks, lots of thumbs up, smiles, etc.
Outdoor Layne oddly the Corvair was a great car once they replaced the rear suspensions later in their lifecycle.
Corvair is rear engine. Fiero is mid engine. C8 is mid engine.
@@layne4376 Yeah, this one is mint from the outside. Very nice.
When I was 16 I wanted to buy a fiero for $3000 manual with the Ferrari kit color red super clean I’m still mad at my mom for not letting borrow 1000 dollars lol 😂
Too be fair, if it was a 911 turbo S, it would be a different story
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.
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).
Fiero
Thanks for keeping it light gents, as 0-60 isn't the only measure of a 'good' car!
Carlos LOVES that Vette! He’s sooo much more excited whenever he does a Corvette video.
Dude looked like Chris watts. (Who was a piece of shit)
So the GT500 didnt warm the tires with Line Lock?
I have a 21 model gt 500 and it is absolutely the funnest , fastest and scariest car I’ve ever owned !! It’s soooo quick ! Handles soooo good too ! I’ve had a hellcat , 16 model ctsv and they don’t compare to my gt500. You definitely have to know how to drive !
And this is just the base C8, those Z versions are going to be monsters
This is not a base Corvette. It's got the Z51 package which includes brakes, suspension, aero, tire, and more power than a base Corvette.
It is thw Z51 vette and loses to a naked base 911
@@Gltokensp06 a Stingray is a base Corvette the Z51 package do offer a slightly better exhaust, engine output is only 495 vs 490 for a non Z51 package which doesn't offer a limited-slip differential that helps it slightly in 0 to 60 performance, bigger brakes, and tires, and aero bits geared more for track use, but the non Z51 Stingray has a higher top speed due to the downforce of the Z51 package, 194 vs 184 for the Z51. Both are the base car, one just gear more slightly for track performance.
The 911 was a naked base model with under 380hp now that's a true engineering the C8 in this Video is the Z51 full loaded with 495hp V8 6.2L
@@gaddyify I'm just saying that it's not a base Corvette. If anything, the gearing with make a base c8 much slower in the quarter mile.
No offense but the dude don't know how to drag race. Lmao pretty damn sad.
If you look at at all the supercar fail videos, (wipe-outs, fishtailing, crashes, etc) then the team achieved their goal : showing how cars driven by the average Joe compare to one another on an average surface, you know, those you would find on the way to work, shopping, back home, those. .

Say what you will the new Fiero GT is pretty awesome! 😂
"Like a teenager on the freeway with his hazzard lights on" lmao 🤣
31 years of 911 ownership and after test driving the C8, the Porsche 911 is still the legend in which all else is judge by. It is what it is and Porsche is a different level of engineering. Even in base form the 911 is still a faster and better balanced performance car punching way above what it’s specs would have you believe. The Corvette is now “good” but it is not in Porsche 911 league.
The Porsche in the video is the weakest 911 that Porsche makes, the 992 Carrera T 3.0 version (379HP)
Not Chevy’s first attempt they done rear engine cars corvair
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!
Ok this is also a base corvette that is half the price and the corvette won so the vette is more impressive
@@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
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.
It a porsche, the giant killer.
@@abdullabatni77 The C8 is 200+ ibs heavier. Also can you all learn a new word Besides refinement. Its getting old Its vague and offers no substance
is this a c8 z51 package?
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 👦🏻👍🏻🏁🏎
They're claiming a 2.6 sec 0-60 time in the brand new ZO6 rear wheel drive. Now I'd like to see that proven. If that's true and without all wheel drive that's incredible. Maybe with race tires?

You guys should have also added the torque per pound as well as the horsepower per pound.
The 911 is incredibly fast for its power
Thats because the HP is underrated. Has something like 410-420hp
and expensive haha

Porsche Sucks
@@843OutdoorsSC That's usually what people say when they get beat by them
Nah the speed different with the 911 and the Corvette makes sense , because the Carrera S with 440hp actually walks the C8
No it doesn’t.
Of course your playong it safe by hitting the beginning red rpm. You have to break that limit rpm by another 1,000 or 1,500 to draw out that raw energy into ultra energy. Did it ona simulation and dam it really flies! For a Camaro or Mustang anyways
A 3 liter against a 5.2 liter and 6.2 litre. I would say the 911 won all the races. Bring the 911 turbo S. Still a much smaller engine but no one will be a match.
With all this power today's cars offer and the top speeds they achieve, racing from a dig comes way way short of showing what the cars are really like. In this race here it is more apparent.
Not fair to the underpowered porche. It still rocked lol
Imagine that 911 with 700hp.....lol With a Turbo S this wouldn’t even be fair.
Race #1 sounds exactly how you would expect 3 guys in a drag race to sound...classic.

Should have used Carrera S. Porsche is in a different class and yes I have owned VETTE and now own an older 2006 Carrera S. It’s 15 years old and on another planet in performance. I will never go back
Uh huh. Just keep throwing more money at porsche, someday it will beat the 70k corvette lol
Slick Mike LOL. kzhead.info/sun/lNqPfruPeaCHmKM/bejne.html
Vettes compete w/Ferraris & Lambos, I agree about Porsche in a different class, it should race Camaros and Mustangs!
Matt C the new Z06 will. This one. Not at all.
Yup. I am correct. In the last video, 5days before this one, when the specs were put up, I stated... "you talk about specs so much, and sound so scientific... I think a dyno test on all three cars would have been the best way to go about it. We all know the Porsche, a german car, has much more than they are claiming. Could be as much as 450hp, in actuality." These races prove my point, the Porsche really does have 450hp, and that puts it where it is at compared to the Corvette. Sure it gets a better launch, but I never saw a full car length ahead of the Corvette, from either launch. It's all about the power to weight ratio, and the Corvette barely has it beat. The roll race backs that up, also. Porsche, really has 450hp, power to weight of 7.5lbs/hp, while the Corvette 7.4lbs/hp. Corvette just barely edging out the Porsche in actual power to weight ratio. Next up, go run a dyno test at the same elevation if you think I'm wrong. Sorry, 3:08, power to weight on the Porsche being 8.9lbs/hp is incorrect... and if you think the Germans know how to build a car 14:16... yeah, they just lie about how much power it actually has. There is no magic German Engineering, just more actual power, not magic power either. It's always been this way, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Porsche, etc... they all state the power at the motor, when it's what is actually being put to the ground, like there was no losses. YA RIGHT!!! I DONT THINK SO!!! Enjoy.
Bro, i feel your pain, but let me tell you something, you look so childish after you wasted your time writing this comment. Le man is being denominated by Audi and Porsche. Pagani uses Mercedes engines, McLaren F1 used BMW engine. Also if we assume that Porsche has 450hp or lets make it 500hp, it still did well, and you totally forgot about how well engineered that PDK. I am not German and not an American and i love Porsche and i own a Mustang Gt PP and i love it, every nation or country excels in something when it comes to building cars. for me Mustangs are way more fun than many faster cars but i still love Mustangs and would choose them anytime over many cars. Car community is being ruined by people like you, its a car passion not a politics. Just give credit where credit is due. I am an engineer and i know you feel like the king of the world when you finish any sort of project, but when someone just s**t on it like its nothing its a really unacceptable behavior coming from a creature with a mind. No hard feelings. Enjoy.
@@haithamalkalbani1191 Then coming from to Engineer TO an Engineer. This is PURELY Scientific. Put a bunch of cars on the dyno, and you will see with your own eyes that German cars always put down at the wheels what the German Manufacturers are claiming at the motor. Heck, just look it up on YT. It's not a bad thing to have more power than they are claiming, it's a blessing. There is no hard feelings here, just purely scientific, and the specs are incorrect... plainly.
It's not just about horsepower. It's weight, aerodynamics, weight distribution, drivetrain efficiency, and yes, even PDK. All those things make the Porsches perform extremely well. There's a good reason that the GT cars emphasize the things I just mentioned, and it's the totality of those elements that makes the GT cars legendary on the track. Much, much more to it than horsepower.
@@copperkeyracing6167 Okay, German manufacturers are cheating and have nothing in terms of engineering and automotive industry experience. Just plain liars and losers. All the best.
@@WestCoastSupercarsandClassics true. Winning and losing is down to many factors, some will just look at the HP numbers. I totally agree with you.
very enjoyable vid lads, love that mustang...
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.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
Almost half the HP is in one car 🥴... Lmao “I am launch 🚀 control”... Epic.
I was debating between a C8 and a 911 turbo, but after seeing this regular 911 (non turbo). I think I might get the 911 turbo😂
Loser like if you can afford one 😂😂😂
the corvette only has 450 hp till it pass the 500km mark, then the ECU automatically opens up the rest of the HP, bassically when you drive it the ECU limits the fuel and other aspects of the revs so that you only have 450hp only till after the engine does its 500kms? where as the other two cars are all hp straight up?
Because corvette is awsome!
It's like that Mustang entered warp mode.I reckon it can do a better launch
Well the GT500 could go a lot better. In this case I feel the driver matter so much since the car is FR so launching that is not easy honestly to keep up with those other two. Need over 20 times practice
Great video, excellently filmed with banter and genuine competition between you and your friends. Truly a gift to get to drive these baller ass cars. Thank for sharing content and giving us a real life example of how these three cars would match up against each other at a stoplight or roll.
Good video dude.😃👍
Was the drag race a hundred feet?
Try putting someone who knows how to drive behind the Shelby wheel
yeah because driving fast in a straight line is the ultimate indication of a good driver
@@dionysisdaras1289 well he had to launch it himself rather than computer doing it and it was pretty bad compared to the others so that’s where the “bad driving” comes from.
All the videos of or for other cars just make Porsche’s look better and better at what they do..
As a 2016 Ford Mustang GT PP2 Automatic owner, I only need to say, put it in Track Mode, Keep the traction control on, but if you know what your doing, turn it off. You never, ever "feather" the throttle! Go all out and control the launch, and when it shifts, control the "Kick-Out" it creates. It is all about human control, not Launch Control in my experience. If you know what your Mustang can do, the more the advantage. The other thing is, Y'all didn't mention the "Tires" being used.... You can have any kind of power/torque and weight to power ratios all you want, but if you can't lay that power to weight ration to stick to the pavement with the tires, well, it is a huge factor...
You three guys are funny and make for the video to be funny love you guys keep up the good work. I'm in Atlanta
Next time select the Carrera 4 or more competitive - Carrera 4s and from a dead start the vette would get left behind by with of these two variations. At least a Carrera S - two wheel drive would be more of a comparison - this model has an additional 50 hp - over the base Carrera.
I had to do a double take, I thought I saw this video already... Oh yeah, they had left out a drag and roll race.
GT is great rolling start but not a great track car. The others are great of take off and would do much better on a track. Its nice when each has it strong points.
Can we do this again with the ZO6?
With 72 years of rear engine refinement, the 911 always preforms above its weight class.
I can only afford the gt500 or Corvette. I'll take the Corvette.
@NOLAY AUSTIN We'll see. So far, it is indeed the best.
Best move!
Then you can afford the only 2 nice looking cars out of these 3!
I still prefer the corvette any day
No one cares
I’m getting sick of watching car comparisons videos where they judge a cars performance with one driver too one car and don’t swap. You have three cars and three people, all three drivers should drive each car. Even professional drivers have different processes and approaches to how each driver drives a given vehicle. They can be good in one car and shit in another, then they swap and it’s a total opposite. This process eliminates variation in driver ability/inability and is a better way to judge the cars as an average. It blows my mind that after all this time and with TV shows like Top Gear (who did this and swap vehicles) that people still don’t do it.
Love the porche back ❤️
The 992 turbo s would completely demolish them, but it almost cost a lot more
yeah but for the money of almost tree GT500 😎
Oumar Bedy I love the stangs I got me a 2020 gt but I wouldn’t buy a 500 I’d get a zr1
Best car here (Porsche) rest are absolute trash, how dare they try compare
@@robocop3961 agreed, that porsche is trash
I like the c8. Such a wonderful car and easy to drive as well in normal road. The c8 grip at start is formidable. If they do a ZR 1 of this thing, it would be like rocket. But the base c8 is the best for everyday car, aspirated engine and confortable.
All facts!
Wow ! thank you !
