2020 GT500 VS C8 CORVETTE - ON TRACK COMPARISON (Lap Breakdown)

Рет қаралды 629,906

Күн бұрын

Handling comparison between the almighty 760 hp Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang and the new Z51 C8 Mid-Engine Corvette. The basis of this analysis is derived from my personal first impressions from tracking these two amazing cars for the first time ever at Willow Springs Raceway. Owning both of them, puts me in the unique position to share with all of you my 100% unbiased opinion of how they compare. The context for this breakdown is not focused on shear lap times, however it's based on feel. How are they as track cars for an average enthusiast? Stay tuned for part two, which features the hot laps between both the handling package 2020 GT500 and the new Z51 C8 Corvette. I hope you enjoy!

This a NEXT LEVEL comparison! His language is ultra descriptive, and accessible. But the real gem is @ 13:30 , the side by side comparison PERFECTLY demonstrates everything that he spent the first 13 minutes explaining so well. The visual of the steering wheel movements say it all. Great editing choice to do things in that order, and put the side by side where you did. Im as impressed with your editing choices as your driving! Great job, all the way around, young man!

Wait for the stupid comments to ensue..."why compare this to that"..."Wait until X comes out"...."it's not really fair because one is mid engine" ...."it's not fair that one is supercharged"...."I would still rather own"....blah blah blah. Both amazing cars priced within $1k of one another. That's the true comparison of "equal" when comparing what you get from either manufacturer Ford vs GM for the same dollars spent. Period.

That being said, I very much appreciate getting his feedback about the characteristics (good & bad) of each car.

Well, a better platform layout mid-engine and lighter weight, better balance, better performance, better aerodynamics and such, 200hp doesn't mean much honestly or make a big difference in this setup.

@yusufelsayed7898 4 жыл бұрын

That's because it's mid engine configuration. Engine placement configuration is what makes a car's handling very important ans plays a major role. That's because, in addition to a mid-mounted engine's proximity to the rear wheels, this design also allows the car to achieve ideal weight distribution, center of gravity and traction. When the car's weight is centered, the wheels won't be thrown off balance by having to cope with extra weight, and the car can be steered with more precision.

I can't wait till you get the CFTP GT500 to compare to the base model (if you still have it then). The base model is more aimed to the road and daily driving, of course but the CFTP should take its track ability to the next level. Can't wait! 👍

Both cars are great, Mustang has a better sound though. I think the Corvette has so much potential the platform is so good, the s550 mustang platform seems to be at the end of it's rope and the GT500 is a car that was made to do things that the platform is not optimized for. Again, both cars are great and this video was very well done

Awesome video, awesome driving. I love both cars, I've had a mustang years ago and I miss it. I've had an 03 Z06 and loved it too. These new cars are light years ahead of what I had. The GT I can take most of the family out and have fun, the C8, just myself or take the wife. Can't wait to see the next video.👍

@334trax2 4 жыл бұрын

I would have to believe the C8 would be a faster track car especially with a track with many corners. I'll be definitely keeping my eyes on the C8 to see how it performs, reliability etc.

This gives a good idea on how the cars feel on the track. Great job! The Corvette had some alignment work done to compensate for the understeer. Did you have something done to the GT500 to compensate for it's handling weaknesses?

Quote: Did you have something done to the GT500 to compensate for *it's* handling weaknesses? Now, read that sentence but this time, insert either "it is" or "it has" in place of *it's* and tell me if it makes sense? NOTE: IT'S = contraction for either "it is" OR "it has" Doesn't really make sense, does it? The correct usage is simply *ITS* ~ when you refer BACK to a noun (person, place or thing), use *its* ~ when you want to say "it is" or "it has", use the APOSTROPHE!
