That’s an impossible question RR! I’m going with both. The first mid engine Vette’ and the most powerful Stang’ ... both a win-win in my world!! Preciate’cha doing this one ... looking forward to the next comparo review!!
I’d take the GT500 for sure, especially since as time goes on the C8s will be a lot more common, but I gotta give it to the C8 tho, I mean the fact that people are comparing a base model corvette with a lot less horsepower to a gt500 speaks for its self. I mean just think what the z06 and the zr1 trim levels of the C8 will be like when just the base model it’s self is already impressive
Both of these cars are 100k, so why would you assume one would be more common than the other? Also by your logic the more common car would be the Mustang, considering the fact that the cheapest model starts at around 27k, and yes they count.
marlon Covington no regular mustangs don’t count you dumbass because this video is strictly on if you would get a C8 or a GT500. And obviously a GT500 will be less common because if you actually used your head it’s a limited production for just 2020 meaning only 5000 will be out their dumbass compared to the C8 which is a mass production car. In just 2020 over 40K could be built and that’s not including the following years to come.
@@randyjr3479 Going by history, previous C7 Z06 started at right about $80k. I expect a slight premium for the C8 Z06, so probably start at $85k or $90k. Now if you check every option box, you'd probably hit $150k or so. Doubt a fully optioned out Z would hit $200k!
TTVette i agree with you and even if the Z hits the 200k bar, its still gonna be worth it. But i personally think their price are gonna average $110k-$120k

The best part of this video is what you said at the beginning.

I say pick the one you like the best and not worry about the other car or what people say about the car you just paid for. Both cars are nice...end of story.
Vette now is not a muscle car anymore .. sorry i had to correct you , its aiming to be in the super car looking category. I mean the look it self looks like something from eroup nothing look american in it . But that gt500 its just a pure muscle 💪
Come on man! Look at this humble guy .The best Comparison review ever ! This is why we love his channel every detailed spot on! Thanks Joe for genuine and honest review man ! Deserves a millions of subs and views . Stay safe as always
This has to be your best review (comparison based) you've ever done! Definitely an academy award winner!! You made it very hard for me to decide which one I'd choose! 🏁🏁
So the c8 is more exotic, higher build quality, better material quality, faster 0 - 60, easier to drive, and more agile. While the shelby is faster 1/4 miles, sounds better, and makes more power.
I thoroughly enjoy your professional assessment of new vehicles on the market. Your commentary is not only very informative, unbiased, I enjoy the humour and witty analogies. In fact, unlike some you don't miss a beat with your descriptive commentary. Keep it coming as I know us Aussies enjoy it.. K
Great video! The only ‘zonk’ that I have is the C8 disk break sizes. It’s actually 13.3” in the front and 13.8” in the rear. Because of the 60% weight balance in the rear, the rear breaks were designed to be larger. They are also both the same 4 piston calipers. They just look smaller because of the larger wheels
Great review, Joe. I would take a new Corvette vs. a similarly priced GT350 or GT500. As good as the new Shelby cars are, I love the exotic looks and new mid-engine design of the new C8. But I’d love to see a track test pitting these cars against each other. Wouldn’t change my decision, but it would be fun to watch!
The C8 in this Video isnt 98 grand it's like 65 , 70 it's a Z51 .. The ZR1 when it comes out will have a price tag of 100 grand.. But will also have 800 HP twin turbo..
You have quickly become my favorite guy to watch when it comes to cars. You are great! You are a huge reason in my purchase of a 2020 GT PP1. Thanks for bringing us these phenomenal reviews and expertise. It goes a long way with us.
Comparing the bottom model stingray to the top of the line Mustang. I'd say the Corvette did pretty well in this comparison. Yeah ,Yeah, I know the other model Corvettes aren't out yet but still!
Dont Care exactly, let’s compre the ZR1 to the mustang and then it’s a fair comparison. However I’ll take this video since the other models are not out yet.
I currently drive a 2018 Shelby GT350, and I love it. Over the years I have owned several Mustangs and a dozen corvettes the latest being a 2014 C7 Z51 Convertible, they were all great cars in their own ways. I have not been in the latest generation of Corvette but I'm sure it's magnificent. I also have not been in a Shelby GT500 and would be thrilled if that occurred. I love your reassessment of both cars and based upon that I would settle for no less than the Shelby GT500, I'm 75 yrs. old and I believe the Shelby would bring it back to some extent. Raiti's Rides is my favorite channel for evaluations
This was hella fun to watch and a great comparison between the two. Joe your face at 30:40 utter disbelief of just how amazing the Shelby 🇺🇸 is was priceless!!! Hope you can get your own Shelby soon👍
(Regarding the Corvette driver side) "Everything is for me, nothing is for you. You can just play with the a/c vents or pick your nose." LOL Joe!! Great review for any time but especially for quarantine time!
Mid Engine always wins, the feeling of a strong V8 in your back pushing you on the highway with the sound is incredible ...only looses to those exotics

Randy Smith hahaha you smoking crack....in real life the corvette is quicker ,looks better,handles better gt500 might have it after 130 but not practical in real life
blackice214 Besides when you're in it and around it the C8 feels like an exotic that should cost two to three times the price point that it actually is..The GT500 when you're in it and around it feels like S550 Mustang...
Great review Joe. Your face in the GT500 is priceless! To me, even though the Mustang hasn't changed much in the past few years, the GT500 screams "I'm special!!!". The corvettes are just hitting the streets by me, but will look common in no time.

Dude !!! This your best Video yet, I have a Fiesta ST and I remember when you did a Video on it and your enthusiasm, then on to your Focus RS, and your smile‘s get bigger, I’m with you on the Shelby, nothing beats that sound but a Coyote Mustang, Fords Rule, the Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺
In a world where we are not supposed to go outside or drives and car content is the lowest it's ever been, Thank you Joe for blessing us with reviews almost everyday during these hard times
I would still say that GT500 especially with the CF package wins my heart over the C8 Vette :) Such amazing cars. Thanks Joe, your videos always keeps me working hard to eventually take one home someday.
Only bad part is that the C8 will hold it's value 10 times better than the Stang. If you intend to drive it and don't care about resale, then I would definitely go with the stang. However, I just needed to point that out.
@@ericpray6814 that's true.. I personally would buy to own forever especially if it's on this GT500, it's my current dream car even though there are plenty of cars out there that can out-perform it.
Amazing comparison video, Joe! Were you able to keep your Mustang bias out of it? Or was it just that much better of an experience? Certainly the Corvette handles better, though, would you agree? Better handling in the Vette, but more fun in the Stang? I must say, I envy your experience with both supercars, brother. It's nice to live vicariously through you. Keep up the good work, and the great content. And stay healthy and safe. Peace.
Both amazing cars in their own right, but they’re not in the same league. The mustang is a Camaro competitor. The C8 is an exotic with a mustang price tag
say that when the zR1 or Z06 comes out. this is no contest with a base car vs a higher performance one. Just because prices are around the same....dont mean its the match up........ take a base Mustang 5.0 vs base C8. The Z51 package dont mean shit with just 5hp more
All I'm saying is that to beat the mustang, it will cost you much more money. The mustang has been the best bang for your buck for a very long time. End of discussion.
Joe, you always do a great job. Been following you for a while now for a reason. Good info with a lot of fun, a lot of passion. This one had to be extra fun for you. Ford v Chevy on steroids. "...cherry on top of the track package" indeed! Thanx man, well done.
I just love the way all these testers always pit this Vette up against other muscle cars that have all the extra power the factory can get on it. And these Vettes don't have that option YET!!!. Let's wait and see when Chevy gets the Vette everyone is waiting for. Then let's see what happens.
Exactly! These cars are not even close to the same. Top of the line most powerful mustang vs a base model corvette. Yet it’s still keeping up with all of them! Super interested for the zo6 and even later the zr1
Exactly!!!... It's the base level 495HP C8 Stingray vs the top of the line maxed out 760HP CFTP GT500!!... let's just pit the base model 5.0 Mustang GT against the C7 ZR1 Corvette!!..Lol!!
Why are they comparing a corvette to mustangs anyway? The corvettes weigh much much less than the GT500. They are different classes of cars. The corvettes should be going up against the Ford GT and maclarens and porsches.
Amazing review. I love your excitement and energy. You can tell you are a true car guy and enjoy the experience. Great job. Keep up the excellent content. Can't wait to see when you compare the Shelby against the z06.
That C8 also has a fantastic launch control mode that preloads the torque automatically and launches full throttle when you release the brake. It takes all the guesswork and damage potential from throttling against the brake system. You will actually hit those 0-60 numbers yourself with launch control, no experience race track driver required. It's almost scary how user friendly the high performance aspect of this car is. It does a lot more with the HP early on, then the GT will get it on the quarter, but finally, road being long enough, the Corvette will regain the lead. In a sense, they are equally matched despite the different HP numbers, they are just good a different parts of the race. For me, I like the 0-60 performance because that is the one you can use every day without getting a ticket. Databyter
C8 for me. That would be nuts to take a Mustang over a Corvette in the first place. Plus, the C8 is worth double what Chevy asks for it and the Mustang is 30k too expensive. Its still a Mustang with good perdormance parts on it. Nothing new there. Still the same 6 yo car.
Hopefully tech will allow a muscle car to be switched from electric to the gas machine even if it's limited from factory how much and how long you can run the petrol engine.

Dial shifters are a travesty. However owning two vehicles with electronic parking brakes, including a manual trans, it works great.
@@ivanovpreslav7417 I don't want to save space. I want to use it on a manual parking brake, where I can yank that cable as much or as little as I want, to my satisfaction.
It’s the future just wait and see
In a short attention span world of 6-12 min TH-cam videos, I easily sat through this 34 minute car review vid! Great job Joe, you're well spoken, funny and very smooth. Subbed! 👍🏁🏁🏁
"I'll be quiet...(2seconds later)
The Hell with being quiet " 😂😂😂
Brandon Hammonds I couldn’t do it. It’s the cars fault! 😉👍🏻
Dude !!! This your best Video yet, I have a Fiesta ST and I remember when you did a Video on it and your enthusiasm, then on to your Focus RS, and your smile‘s get bigger, I’m with you on the Shelby, nothing beats that sound but a Coyote Mustang, Fords Rule, the Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺
The corvette is definitely better looking. It looks like a Ferrari
Yes it does.
Wing Sauce kinda of a cross between Ferrari and Mclaren..
A poor mans ferrari
Totally subjective
Naught Guile Ferrari is over priced and unreliable....
In a world where we are not supposed to go outside or drives and car content is the lowest it's ever been, Thank you Joe for blessing us with reviews almost everyday during these hard times
Always great content ! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Ford GT500 Mustang all day!
I would still say that GT500 especially with the CF package wins my heart over the C8 Vette :)
Such amazing cars. Thanks Joe, your videos always keeps me working hard to eventually take one home someday.
I am right there with you! I am so glad that I could share these with you! Keep working hard because you will get there!
Only bad part is that the C8 will hold it's value 10 times better than the Stang. If you intend to drive it and don't care about resale, then I would definitely go with the stang. However, I just needed to point that out.
@@ericpray6814 that's true.. I personally would buy to own forever especially if it's on this GT500, it's my current dream car even though there are plenty of cars out there that can out-perform it.
C8 for me. Thanks for the video! Shelby is bad ass too!
Thanks Terry for letting me bring it to you!
Amazing comparison video, Joe! Were you able to keep your Mustang bias out of it? Or was it just that much better of an experience? Certainly the Corvette handles better, though, would you agree? Better handling in the Vette, but more fun in the Stang? I must say, I envy your experience with both supercars, brother. It's nice to live vicariously through you. Keep up the good work, and the great content. And stay healthy and safe. Peace.
No bias what so ever. I truly thought the Corvette would be my choice going into this.
@@RaitisRides fair enough.
I know I won't be able to afford any of these cars, but it was awesome watching your videos. Joe's been on fire lately!
Both amazing cars in their own right, but they’re not in the same league. The mustang is a Camaro competitor. The C8 is an exotic with a mustang price tag
Gotta say, I’ve worked in television production for a while before switching over to PR/Media, but your Photog + Editing is phenomenal. 😲
Great review. I don't care how good the automatics are, no manual, no sale.
No automatic, no sale.
Joe your like a kid at Christmas in the Vette and the gt500, good stuff as always.
I’ll take the C8 All Day🙏🏾💪🏾
Great choice!
That Shelby looks so fun to drive maybe I’ll look at a vette when I reach 50 and having a midlife crisis
22:15 Corvette On Throttle! 🚗💨. Now that’s what we were waiting for!! 23:36
Hold on tight!
Love Raiti’s walk through of the history of each model or manufacture at the beginning of every video.
I'll keep my Mustang EcoBoost premium as a daily driver and buy the Corvette for a fun day trip car.
I like the way that you think.
She wants more and she takes it. Your quotes have been en fuego lately! Another gr8 review brother.
Thanks brother!
I love your reviews . I am addicted to your reviews. May God bless you. Lots of love for you 😘❤️
Thank you my friend!
Once again great review/comparison. Your passion for cars is infectious like the ‘Rona LoL....and is as genuine as a baby’s chuckle. Well done!
Both great cars but I'm taking the C8 over the GT500 without a question. Price, performance, interior and exterior design all superb.
GT500 a legend for years to come!!!!
Give me the Vette all day.
You can win it!
Shelby's supersnake package for normal mustang gt makes a boost from 460 to 800+hp.Imagine how powerful shelby gt500 supersnake will be?😱
Even though I'm biased towards the corvette, I'd go with the mustang.
say that when the zR1 or Z06 comes out. this is no contest with a base car vs a higher performance one. Just because prices are around the same....dont mean its the match up........ take a base Mustang 5.0 vs base C8. The Z51 package dont mean shit with just 5hp more
Base against high performance, the prices are identical. By the way, dollar for dollar, the gt500 out does the z06.
All I'm saying is that to beat the mustang, it will cost you much more money. The mustang has been the best bang for your buck for a very long time. End of discussion.
@@USMCretired09 man u on crack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@USMCretired09 NOOOOOOOO!
Thank you joe!
You are so very welcome!
I love it when joe drives a fast car😂his reactions are priceless And reminds me of a 90 with a toy car.best reactions ever🤣
Extream_PLAYZit thanks man!
Raiti's Rides no problem :)
Joe, you always do a great job. Been following you for a while now for a reason. Good info with a lot of fun, a lot of passion. This one had to be extra fun for you. Ford v Chevy on steroids. "...cherry on top of the track package" indeed! Thanx man, well done.
Thanks Michael for talking that time to say that! I am so glad that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Another long 34 minute episode LETS GO!!!
Get some pop corn!
@@RaitisRides ;D
Palms are sweating watching you rip up the curves. Those cars are amazing.
Thanks Tim for taking the ride with me!
I just love the way all these testers always pit this Vette up against other muscle cars that have all the extra power the factory can get on it. And these Vettes don't have that option YET!!!. Let's wait and see when Chevy gets the Vette everyone is waiting for. Then let's see what happens.
yesssir thats what im saying
Exactly! These cars are not even close to the same. Top of the line most powerful mustang vs a base model corvette. Yet it’s still keeping up with all of them! Super interested for the zo6 and even later the zr1
Exactly!!!... It's the base level 495HP C8 Stingray vs the top of the line maxed out 760HP CFTP GT500!!... let's just pit the base model 5.0 Mustang GT against the C7 ZR1 Corvette!!..Lol!!
Why are they comparing a corvette to mustangs anyway? The corvettes weigh much much less than the GT500. They are different classes of cars. The corvettes should be going up against the Ford GT and maclarens and porsches.
The roadrunner Jarhead corvettes are not a challenger to any of those cars😂. Corvette is a sports car same class not a super car
Amazing review. I love your excitement and energy. You can tell you are a true car guy and enjoy the experience. Great job. Keep up the excellent content. Can't wait to see when you compare the Shelby against the z06.
GT500 All The Way!!...Blue is Very COOL!!
I totally agree!
That C8 also has a fantastic launch control mode that preloads the torque automatically and launches full throttle when you release the brake. It takes all the guesswork and damage potential from throttling against the brake system. You will actually hit those 0-60 numbers yourself with launch control, no experience race track driver required. It's almost scary how user friendly the high performance aspect of this car is. It does a lot more with the HP early on, then the GT will get it on the quarter, but finally, road being long enough, the Corvette will regain the lead. In a sense, they are equally matched despite the different HP numbers, they are just good a different parts of the race. For me, I like the 0-60 performance because that is the one you can use every day without getting a ticket. Databyter
A 7 speed that revs out like the 500 does can easily go 200+ mph
Yes sir!
Wow... I think this is your best review yet. I still can't get my head around production cars at 760HP. So sick!
I'm going GT500 on this one
I'm going with the c8 corvette
SAME!
@@marcojordan1368 Can't go wrong with either!
C8 for me. That would be nuts to take a Mustang over a Corvette in the first place. Plus, the C8 is worth double what Chevy asks for it and the Mustang is 30k too expensive. Its still a Mustang with good perdormance parts on it. Nothing new there. Still the same 6 yo car.
@@RBZ06LT6
Same 6 year old car that looks incredible, sounds incredible, and smashes the C8 on the track. And on what planet is the C8 worth 120k?
Hopefully tech will allow a muscle car to be switched from electric to the gas machine even if it's limited from factory how much and how long you can run the petrol engine.
