Even though the ZR1 transmission is torque converted, it shifts really fast in a straight line.
Right? The GT500 dual clutch can shift faster if he manually shifts it.
@@yusufgta4341 Not really. The GM 8L90E full-throttle upshifts are just as quick as the Porsche PDK. That Tremec 7spd DCT is not quicker. Smoother? More responsive? Yes. But gear actuation is not faster.
@@BEBNC1 ur dreaming if u think us cars can beat pdk lol
@@legaspiferdinandb.5278 bla bla bla kid go and read more.
@@marcinm2767 he's right tho pdk is the best trans right now y'all just want ur us cars to look good but ur pushing it comparing to pdk lmao
When these two cars race, America wins. Can’t go wrong with either, both are amazing.
Except zr1 is most likely a joke in the rain I say joke since I'm not rhinking about traction control I'm going back to 70's vettes with those kinds of numbers where ya HAD TO KNOW HOW TO DRIVE WITH THOSE KINDS OF NUMBERS YOU'd ABSOLUTLEY HAVE TO KNOW HOW DRIVE WELL THAT IS SINCE THAT WAS A GOOD 20-30 YEARS BEFORE TRACTION CONTROL CAME STANDARD ON THOSE HIGH NUMBERS VEHICLES (HIGH H.P. AND HIGH LB-FT TORQUE) 😯🙄😤🤬😲👍👍..!!
@@65coupestang um ok.
@@65coupestang Oh, man. I bet your old ass would be crushed to hear that these cars have a traction control off button. Sad boomer.
This has to be the best comment ever
Mustang is trash
Why tf is the ZR1 in ECO mode in the 2nd race?
How can you tell that?
@@MaxwellReviresco
The driver display is blue and that only shows up when the car is in eco mode
You can change the display independent of the drive mode actually. It can be linked, but it doesn't have to be.
To give the mustang a chance 😂
Hol up hol up lemme check this real quick 😂
Am I the only one who didn’t know the zr1 came in a convertible
I've never seen one and was wondering why it looked weird at first😂
They made 512 of them.
There’s one in my town lmao
@god I guess so haha we’ll it’s the first time I have seen it atleast.
Honestly, Same
Y’all should do a regular drag race instead of roll racing because both of y’all be jumpin and don’t be even when y’all start the race
zr1 would destroy mustang not fair
A dig would be even harder to get an equal start i would think
Agreed... such wide variance in the 3 races
Yeah, better at the light and all the way to top speed.
Totally... They need to work on their communication to be racing cars so close... Whoever gets the jump in that distance & maintains traction, takes the day in that length of space...
i'm surprised the stang did as well as it did considering how much of a weight and aero advantage the zr1 has
ZR1 No question about it!
on a prepped track mustang would win
@@warhawk575 it was a roll race what lol
@@warhawk575 your kidding right?
Yeah, for the L
@@warhawk575 no it wouldn’t.
Considering the weight difference the GT500 did pretty well. Plus someone needs to teach these guys how to roll race,
They never get roll racing right smh
Exactly!!!
Roll racing is primarily hp racing and they have equal HP so 🤷🏼♂️
There's always some idiot complementing the heavier car during a roll race.
@@averyr18 idiots you say? So you’re telling me the GT500 wouldn’t be ridiculous faster on a rolling race if it was 3300 lbs instead of 4200?
Come on now. Nobody really thought that GT500 was gonna beat a ZR1!
I hope not!
The vett its lighter and has better aereodinamic body.
its a convert btw not hardtop
Makes more power too
@@canadianracecarguy7038 no it doesn’t. You can’t just predict something and say the better has more power.
Gt500- 760hp
Zr1- 755
The vette not better
@@romangeorge4401 mustang fanboy much and yea well the vettes faster around a track faster in a straight line a costs less so your arguement is invalid
Corvette all day!!!!
I'm a ZR1 guy and I love how this just happened 🤣
I'm a gm guy and I wouldn't turn down either car👍
The vette is lighter, more aerodynamic and costs 70k more right now.
@@travismundog6598 there is no way the ZR1 is $70,000 more than a GT500. Unless it's the old GT500, I'd have to go back and watch the video but I'm headed into work right now
@@matthewburkholder1076 yeah one just sold for $190k this past weekend
Same
They call the ZR1 the king of the hill for a reason
Unless it's raining on that hill..
Gtr is better 😍
@@x1b7r whole different topic plus it’s not
@@x1b7r stock gtr vs zr1 yeah let's see who wins 🤣
@@x1b7r
Lol my bimmer eats that chit
The editing on all Hennessey videos is amazing. "...and with that...(insert whine)..." lol Perfect. Run 2 was tight. I'm looking forward to these again after the updates.
I'm a Mustang fan and that ZR1 kicked that Mustangs ass, lol...
Lighter and more power, it should win
@@darrin2053- Actually the the vette has 755hp while the gt500 has 760..the vette is only lighter.
@@hugostiglitz8465 👍ZR1does crush it in torque
It's ok, Mustang was never Corvette's worry or league.
@@g00dl00kinb0i- Both of those cars are way out of my price range. Lol.
Zr1 for the win!!!!
China and Mexico are proud.
@@roberthall6560 naw GT500 ftw, weighs more and still didnt gap it, just bad drivers lmao
GT500 won the 2nd test and the Zr1 jumped the third test!! Way to go GT5!!!
I had a supercharged C7 Z51 A8. That 8 spd auto actually shifts faster if you let it do it instead of paddle shifting. There's a slight delay in upshifts and downshifts with the paddles on C7's
Since I was a kid my dream car is chevy Corvette. I will buy used Corvette. Zo6 or zr1. Mustang and Corvette great muscle cars though.. im chevy guy
You and me both. A ride in my friend's C6 Z06 made me a 100% diehard Chevy guy.
Corvettes aren't muscle cars
@@Magnetic5oh it is
@@jonathanpoirier328 no they ain't and never were. They're sports cars
@Jonathan Poirier Corvette ain't a muscle car 🤡
Damn that corvette be kickin ass
CORVETTE hits hard!!! 👍❤
GIMME THE VETTE ALL DAY ANY DAY!!!
Love the Corvette ❤️
I ❤ that vette !!
I love the Corvette
1:08 what happened to speed dials?
This tells me the 2v pushrod GM engine will be around for a long time.
The best way to accelerate any C7 Covette while rolling is to quickly apply full throttle and release, this will enable car to gets into power band by dropping a few gears (and activating active performance shift)and then stab the throttle and see it fly.
I believe these "drivers" might benefit immensely from this rather undisputed fact. They should really go get professionals but can't knock the hussle.
I love you guys, you guys are straight to the point no bullshit talking
Nice race between the two.. what's crazy how much the atanf has improved over the years, especially since it was the Camaro who was in its class to race.
Thanks for leading me here Chloe!
vette all day!
I lean towards Chevy's, but man, hearing those two American muscle cars roar, made me feel proud for both Ford and Chevy. Can't go wrong with either.
Corvette isn’t a muscle car. The Shelby is the muscle car
@@29kalel It is a muscle car.
@@royalway12 its not.
@@tkkirkland9128 I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
@@29kalel Neither is a muscle car actually. The stang is a pony car...
Awesome race both cars are beasts👍
They are both amazing
Is that one the super snake or regular
Definitely made the ZR1 a little bit more heavier since it is a convertible.
And the GT500 being the track pack with that big ol wing not helping hahah good race though.
@@voodoodiecast The ZR1 still has more downforce and taller gearing.
This ZR1 spec in the video had less down force than the gt500 brotha, you thinking of the big wing ZR1. @@BEBNC1
Surprised the gap wasn't much bigger!!! Mustang is completely out classed!! Not only is the vette quicker but it handles way better as well!! The C7 ZR1 is an absolute beast!!!
That zr1 is so sick
Corvette for me
My man!
Ok, i will take the gt500, and both happy
@@urieltrejo9379 the GT500 is a great car. I would take it but because of the better ride quality (and I can fit my tall ass into a Corvette more comfortably than the Mustang), I'm a Vette Guy.
@@jamestimothyoshea You will not have a better ride quality in the GT500. Not sure where you came up with that.
@@BEBNC1 I've driven both of them. That's why I opted for the ZR1 over the GT500. After about 30 minutes, the Mustang killed my back. I've never felt any back pain after driving the ZR1 and I've gone hours driving it (should more that those hours driving was after I bought the ZR1, not during the test drive lol).
The GT500 is a great car and I do like it, but the ride is too harsh for me. That and I can't fit into it as comfortably as the ZR1.
That zr1 is such a beast. Nothing fucks with the zr1 all hail the KING 👑
The gt500 is a beast giving the how heavy it is
ZR1 Vert is right at 3700lbs.
@Mason Elam both figures are completely wrong lmao. ZR1 has 755hp and 715lb ft of torque and the GT500 has 760hp and 625lb ft of torque
Omg that sound of 2 monsters coming down the track. I’ll take the Chevy of course but that 500 is bad ass.
ZR1❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did u guys see the gt 500 moded by palm beach dyno which makes 2.48 sec for 0-60 mph
Both cars are awesome!!!
What's the cost for these upgrades?
@tartar 06 I know that, there's no cost list for the upgrades!
The Corvette has the power to weight advantage and aerodynamics. But that GT500 is a beast!
Dayum that’s crazy 😂🔥
Now that was awesome! I have a ZR1 and now I don’t have to race a GT500.
Yea I wouldn’t waste the gas if u saw one just send them this link lol
Lmao 90k vs 150k
Why is the “zr1” unbadged
C7 zr1 all day.
SHELBY 4EVER
SHELBY 4EVER
Interesting race too! Love both cars, the vette is superior on a track considerably but even in a drag scenario is barely beaten out by mustangs assuming no driver error which is rare...bc it’s a stang 😂
ZR1: crushes the GT500 every time.
Hennessey guy: They're evenly matched.
😂
I’ve seen other races and knew a guy with both. He said they’re about evenly matched. I think from a slower roll though the zr1 is better
@@cflgt500 The GT500 is not made to go against the ZR1 regardless, whether it wins or loses, that’s why Ford has the ford GT which embarrasses unfortunately the ZR1
@@User77989lmao the ford gt barely beat the c8 z06 that is N.A. not even the E-ray or zr1 ford gt is just a slow discontinued v6
@@xxtriss-lt6 OK your point is a ford GT was right around 2017 which was to compete with the ZR1 of that time which was a C7 which once again your argument is completely stupid because the Ford GT is old compared to the new C8. I swear you people are dumb.
I would like to see the drivers switch cars for a few runs,kinda like even out driver reactions.
Dual clutch vs torque converter
what does that mean?
Means the gt500 has a good advantage in the transmission department
Jay C but it still weighs more and the vette is smaller lighter.
Those sound like two frightening monsters!
The Vette has it every time, HP/Torque does not lie.
Both of those cars look and sound very angry... gotta love it
wait, both cars are completely stock ? that's nuts !
ZR1 walked that puppy
Funny, I was also wondering why not a ZR1 Coupe (or a Mustang Convertible) in this fight for an apples:apples comparison?
Can you start making 8x8 trucks
Everyone claimed the GT500 could beat the Vette. Man the Vette is just different 😎
It can you tripping g. Maybe it has mods, maybe both have mods but the GT500 CAN beat that vette
@@TyyTheGoat Stock vs stock. Nope.
@@BEBNC1 lol you must don’t know bout cars lmao. Both was stock. The ZR1 won cause he left on automatic come on now
*Manual ZR1 without the wing but with Z06 wheels*
Id take either one, but am gm fan for last 35 years, better than walkin... lol
Damn that Corvette looks good
Thats a way heavier convertable zr1 & no dig race?
Corvette 👌🏽👌🏽
Yeah rough day, ultimate come back
Who gets a ZR1 convertible? Complete sacrilege.
Lmao, i feel the same way about all convertible Muscle cars.
Right on.
100% agree. The only plus side I can see is they’re going to be rare, because who the hell gets the fastest variant in the heavier convertible trim?
@@ojdajuiceman6139 Yea, but on the down side, everyone is gonna see you with a convertible vette.
@@ojdajuiceman6139
You can do that in the regular ZR1 also. It’s a targa top on the normal ZR1
So damn sick
ZR1 definitely has the power to weight ratio down
Nice race though.
The ZR1 looks odd with the convertible roof 👀
The Vett is seems faster..better looking and I'm not sure if it's cheaper than the GT 500?
The C7 ZR1 without a doubt is the faster car, lots of low end power, light weight, lots more torque and so much more! Price range of these cars, gt500 I think is a little bit cheaper, but ZR1 is still really damn good for what it costs too.
@@dallasfrost1996 the ZR1 starts at 120k while the 500 sits at 75
@@dallasfrost1996 show me a single listing for a ZR1 anywhere near 90k
corvette stock ?
Yes
American muscle has grown up would love to have both of those mean machines
ZR1 is the King of the Road and Track.
If i remember correctly, the coupe ZR1 is a little faster then the convertible variation..
Catch a role with my 2017 C7 Z06 😈
I feel like I'm in a pickup truck 😂🤣🤣 ford.....
Race the vette vs fords top of line gt!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@timcheek5134 TH-cam LS vs coyote shoot out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Compra that Gt500 to the Zl1, fucking boat
@@philllsxga.7737 coyote wins. Hence why it’s not allowed in engine masters.
I own a LS, but coyotes aren’t some pos slouch.
@@Vikturus2k6 TH-cam LS vs coyote shoot out.
TH-cam k.p. mustang.

TH-cam LSX Challenger.
There's a reason...
No surprises here, except for the 2nd race in ECO mode on the Vette. The Mustang had its sights set on Corvettes/Vipers/Porsche while Vettes are looking at Lambos
“It feels like I’m in a pickup truck now”
KO for the mustang.
What a dream! Two land monsters. Merica baby.
Animals! I like both of them
If the ZR1 coupe NOT conv GT500 will memorize well the exhaust tips size for the ZR1 🤣🤣👆🏻
That’s cubes and lighter weight. ZR1 is a beast.
🇺🇸👍💪🦅
ZR1 will forever, in my opinion, be the best version of the Corvette. Loved those and the Corvette Calloway's(Who remember those Corvettes). Also was a C5 fan but of course would unleash whatever potential it was have.
The might ZR1💪🏾
Vette no doubt!!!
"feel like I'm in a pickup truck" Does he mean the f-series pickup truck that has been the best selling vehicle in the US in the last 36 years? Oh that one... Ford competes on all categories
You sound so salty lol
Two different animals coupe vs roadster zr1 will always win 💪🏿💪🏿
Do stock
What I really like these guys not into too much talking
Why don’t you guys do off the line
Gt350 v zl1, redeye, corvette please
Gt500 looks soooo good!
3:20 . I don’t the coupe won’t matter much on that race , the ZTK however will
The ZR1 is impressive. But the 1/4 times 10.4 vs 10.6 isn't as impressive when you compare the weight and areodynamics. On the track who knows who would win actually both are track cars and amazing beasts from the USA 💪🏻
Dayummm!
