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

แชร์
ฝัง
  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 เม.ย. 2020
  • 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!

    Great side by side comparison and commentary from a guy that owns both vehicles. No bias and no nonsense. 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.

    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!

I'm hoping the Corvette gets to the level of the GT where it started to be pointed at. For years Corvette was just barely trying to out perform Mustangs.

    Wow that was a great review all your analogies with the two were impressive and the drive side by side , spot on and really showed the cars activity while you were 140 mph’ing you can see the corvette really shines and takes down the track with ease while the gt500 it’s a mustang and it shows with all it’s short comings that you would expect from a mustang jittery a lot more input to drive and it dances while moving around on you constantly on more difficult areas of the track. It would seem that the corvette is more refined and able to go further without wearing it and yourself out longer.

      I agree and have to laugh when he says he is just giving the impressions of the cars from the perspective of the average track enthusiast. Austin is clearly a talented driver and is well beyond the abilities of most amateurs. He also seems to be a student of race car driving, using the correct terminology to describe what he and the car is doing. That being said, I very much appreciate getting his feedback about the characteristics (good & bad) of each car.

    Great video. I can definitely see where the shear power if the GT500 allows you, based on skill, to power thru certain turns with less steering input. The C8 with mid engine is pivoting on center mass with much more steering input. Loved the comparison. I am willing to say the GT500 is faster with the right skill level. Thanks really enjoyed this.

    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?

    • @itzanopinion
      @itzanopinion 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    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
