I have seen several tests with the C8 stingray beating the 500, mainly because of its superior traction from the launch. Rolling start it always will lose. The Z06 is a different beast. Its going to be it regardless. Power to weight and better traction.
Turbo s will win. The Z06 is the pinnacle of Naturally aspirate Rwd, the 911 is aimed at being as efficient as possible with its AWD. Its not a fair matchup on paper, yet the Z06 is still brilliant enough to keep up. It hardly loses

@Predator Shelby If you go to PBD videos from 2 years back they have a gt500's with bolt ons and pump 93 making 860 wheel and 900+ on pump E85. Not hating on the new Zo6 it's a bad azz NA car.
Austin, wonder what impact the Z06 racetrack camber settings may have on the drag race results. Suggest you contact the Chevy engineers for advice on optimized launch control settings based on track material, surface temperature and tire pressure. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks, John
So what mph did the 900 hp stang run? My former C5 Z06 with a .416 would run 157. My current ZL1 with a little work has run 166. Headed to a 1/2 mile event this weekend after having to do some work on the ZL1 and hoping for maybe 168+
What stock cars closest in price to gt500 (besides plaid) consistently beats a stock gt500 60-130mph? Maybe a 911 turbo s? Or do you have to jump all the way up to $300k for a McLaren 720s?
I am very impressed with the performance of the Z06. I think a fully equipped Z06 without the Z07 package is going to be the fastest Corvette on the straights. great video as always
3 mph in the trap speed is pretty significant… but you conveniently focus just on the power difference. What about power to weight? The aero on the Z07 pack is slowing it down up top.
You have to understand that a second he stop will the gt500 is moving is a lot of work to get back. You have to start match and pass the speed then start gaining.
Looks like the same rear twin turbo setups that can bolt right up to the base C-8 works on the Z06. Bad news for the big HP mustangs! First one has been installed already! The F1 class sound it produces with bigger pipes is stunning.
He said it was too cold too get perfect launches. over heard ppl say it was too hot for great launches. ..... What's the best temperature for a "perfect launch" ?
@@lvonnifletch4168 His comment is so confusing...it isn't like the GT500 is a fucking honda civic, it's a $100k+ (realistically about $120k~ to get one) track weapon and it's in the relative same ballpark of cost as the C8 Z06 yet not in the same ballpark of performance. The C8 Z06 is just a flat out better sportscar and is the first corvette to make a solid case for being an actual supercar.
And a 6:08 it was showing a GT500 versus a Stingray, not the Z06. In other words, that's the picture he had showing the GT500's trap speed, so that's the one he showed. Then he put text up on the screen saying the Z06 trapped 154.XX.
I so knew the C8 Z06 would win beforehand against the S550 GT500 simply because that LT6 is a masterpiece. I look forward to seeing the crazy modifications enthusiasts are gonna do to that already beastly engine. I intend to get my hands on a one late 2023.
This is a brick versus a knife. And the gt500s only weakness is getting the power down during the launch. The zo6 being mid engine gives it a great advantage off the line. That’s why Porsches dominate both of them

Umm he did not smoke it. The gt500 has a higher trap therefore it is the faster car, the z06 is quicker but that's different, and just because it launches better. If you were rolling down the highway at 60 the gt500 would say byeeee. I mean come on what do you expect from something that has less torque than a regular c8 smh
I love both cars and I'm not biased here but I'll say it plain and would if I was driving the Z06 - the spread was increasing vs the modified GT 500 and the mustang never stopped widening the gap; which is the definition of exponential no matter how minute. Why the "don't believe your lying eyes" crap? Just be honest, especially with yourself.

I think that's a smart decision considering how big of a difference that Z07 package makes, hopefully you can get you hands on one soon! I'm sure all the carbon will hold its value better as well
The gt500 is a terrible dig car. The dual clutch doesn’t like launching at all. It’s definitely the faster car just finding a proper launch is tough. The new vettes are great launchers. Now from a roll is where the gt500 is ridiculous, definitely shines there. Also that Gap was pretty substantial lol, he jumped but wouldn’t have made a difference that was bus lengths and still pulling.
Not shocking at all. We all know that the GT500 will struggle for traction at the launch with factory tires. The Z06 doesn't have this issue. A set of drag radials on the 500 will take care of this, I have run mine to 10:40s in the 1/4 with this simple $800.00 change of tires. Even struggling with traction the 500 trapped much higher than your Z06, showing the power advantage it has. How about a roll race with the 500, this would be a much better measure. Z06 is impressive but it better be for the 200k street price.
The 2020 GT500 CFTP driven by Randy Prost on the track against a 2019 Porsche GT3RS ( he raced both against the clock). Look it up. The GT3 won by a fraction of a second. The CFTP was $102K. $80K less. The Z06 is about the same cost as the GT3. So you can’t say the GT500 will get smoked by the Z06. Hell it’s $70K less. As Shelby said he makes cars that the working man can afford that can kick ass. Let’s see your Z06 on the track with a CFTP GT500 with the same track alignment and same driver. Hire Randy Post. The GT3 RS doesn't dispatch the Shelby quite so easily. With Randy Pobst behind the wheel of both, the Porsche is just two-tenths of a second faster around Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. For about $4K to swap an upper pulley and fuel rail mods and a tune the GT500 can add over 100hp. Try that on anything else and get back to us.
Weird. I can add a hundred horsepower to my VW Golf for less than $1500. And the GT3RS is just in a different league of vehicle to the Mustang, even if the Mustang earns respect by turning the same lap time.
@@xtnuser5338 My point… the Shelby is 1/2 the cost. It’s all about character and balls out fun. Try one. It’s not all about polish and refinement. Sure the 911GT3RS is a work of art. It’s not going to be as fun on the street. It’s not an American muscle car. It’s built to track. Funny the old school American can keep up. Should be embarrassing. Read what the press wrote on balls out fun cars. Hagerty said the 2020-2022 GT500 is an instant collectors car. Classic American muscle that can handle with the best. There is nothing like it. And it’s gone in a few weeks. Why do you think why Austin tried buy his back? He knows. As far as power it’s diminishing returns. A car with 180hp can add another 100 easy with internal and external mods like cams, intake, exhaust, etc. The Shelby has 760. The engine can take much more in stock form. I’m talking rwhp. No internal mods at all. Increase the boost with a pulley, fuel mods, tune for much less than $4K depending on the shop. But it’s good to assume a higher number as a few more mods and get closer to 900rwhp. Depends on a lot of factors. Follow the tuners and builders. It’s all out there as proof. Boils down to how a car makes you feel.
@@xtnuser5338 You won’t get it until you drive the GT500. There is a reason why Austin tried to buy his back. Hagerty says 2020-2022 is an instant collector car and last of its breed. It’s 1/2 the price of the artful Porsche but the fun factor of the GT500 is insane. Note Savagegeese’s reviews on track. Funny as hell.
I wonder if the Z is as hard to tune as regular C8, I’m sure it is but I did see impressive results from Streetspeed 717 with his straight piped, it put down 630 on the dyno if I remember correctly, that’s about 30-35 hp gain, unless it’s a dyno discrepancy.
The Z06 hasn't gone through the suggested break in period is why the dino number was low. Should have brought a Z06 that had its first oil change and turned. So you can use every option in the computer and modes.
The C8 Z06 is a true beast... makes me wish Dodge would come out with a new version of the Viper!

LOL very easily done, actually not hard to go over 1000 with the right mods on a 500. Which will spank a Z06 in the ground.
@@craigleffew3598 yes comparing a heavily modified gt500 vs stock naturally aspirated z06, mod the z06 and it will spank a gt500 every day of the week
The Vette has serious road course down force that reduces drag and high speed capabilities. Try a ZR1 & there will be no doubt about anything.
Would be cool to see some lap time comparisons
That 1st race was Redlit and the gt500 was pulling away.
I have to say that's 13mph not 3.....that big gap
I really thought it would be a lot closer. On a highway pull- the gt500 would still win. Kind of unimpressive for the top vette 😢
Agreed and what's also is less impressive as the torque It has less twerk than the Z51 smh
Too tall of a 5th gear is hurting it when combined with the downforce.
Its not the top vette though.just be patient. lol
Great factual content! Also fun to see the heads up racing!
Not shocking at all. We all know that the GT500 will struggle for traction at the launch with factory tires. The Z06 doesn't have this issue. A set of drag radials on the 500 will take care of this, I have run mine to 10:40s in the 1/4 with this simple $800.00 change of tires. Even struggling with traction the 500 trapped much higher than your Z06, showing the power advantage it has. How about a roll race with the 500, this would be a much better measure. Z06 is impressive but it better be for the 200k street price.
Great.. but you'll be always limited in power with your NA untill someone come up with FI kit but then again not everyone's route
Am I the only one that saw the 13 mph difference when he said 3? 144 vs 157 isn’t 3
Nice review keep up the good work
Your reply isn't real!!! Don't text it
The 2020 GT500 CFTP driven by Randy Prost on the track against a 2019 Porsche GT3RS ( he raced both against the clock). Look it up. The GT3 won by a fraction of a second. The CFTP was $102K. $80K less. The Z06 is about the same cost as the GT3.
So you can’t say the GT500 will get smoked by the Z06. Hell it’s $70K less. As Shelby said he makes cars that the working man can afford that can kick ass. Let’s see your Z06 on the track with a CFTP GT500 with the same track alignment and same driver. Hire Randy Post.
The GT3 RS doesn't dispatch the Shelby quite so easily. With Randy Pobst behind the wheel of both, the Porsche is just two-tenths of a second faster around Chuckwalla Valley Raceway.
For about $4K to swap an upper pulley and fuel rail mods and a tune the GT500 can add over 100hp. Try that on anything else and get back to us.
The only thing Shelby on the GT500 is the name.
Weird. I can add a hundred horsepower to my VW Golf for less than $1500. And the GT3RS is just in a different league of vehicle to the Mustang, even if the Mustang earns respect by turning the same lap time.

My point… the Shelby is 1/2 the cost. It’s all about character and balls out fun. Try one. It’s not all about polish and refinement. Sure the 911GT3RS is a work of art. It’s not going to be as fun on the street. It’s not an American muscle car. It’s built to track. Funny the old school American can keep up. Should be embarrassing. Read what the press wrote on balls out fun cars. Hagerty said the 2020-2022 GT500 is an instant collectors car. Classic American muscle that can handle with the best. There is nothing like it.
And it’s gone in a few weeks. Why do you think why Austin tried buy his back? He knows.
As far as power it’s diminishing returns. A car with 180hp can add another 100 easy with internal and external mods like cams, intake, exhaust, etc. The Shelby has 760. The engine can take much more in stock form. I’m talking rwhp. No internal mods at all. Increase the boost with a pulley, fuel mods, tune for much less than $4K depending on the shop. But it’s good to assume a higher number as a few more mods and get closer to 900rwhp. Depends on a lot of factors. Follow the tuners and builders. It’s all out there as proof. Boils down to how a car makes you feel.

You won’t get it until you drive the GT500. There is a reason why Austin tried to buy his back. Hagerty says 2020-2022 is an instant collector car and last of its breed. It’s 1/2 the price of the artful Porsche but the fun factor of the GT500 is insane. Note Savagegeese’s reviews on track. Funny as hell.
You have a true track car anyway. The others won’t stack up. Wonder how you would stack up against a 2019 ZR1, in temps you could both hook.
Watch Streetspeed717 vs HPO video for your answer on this! They already raced! C8 Z06 vs Stock C7 Zr1
Zr1 faster as well
Personally drag racing a car for road courses doesn’t say much.
ROFL. The first dude cheated SO hard. No way on Earth that he didn't do that on purpose, he took off close to a second early.
Lol mustang guys doing what they do best, jumping 🤣
ZR1 is going to be a menace!!!!
I think GT500 will smoke the C8ZO6 in Roll race
No
I wonder if the Z is as hard to tune as regular C8, I’m sure it is but I did see impressive results from Streetspeed 717 with his straight piped, it put down 630 on the dyno if I remember correctly, that’s about 30-35 hp gain, unless it’s a dyno discrepancy.
Dude that GT500 was pulling pretty good on you all the way
The Z06 hasn't gone through the suggested break in period is why the dino number was low. Should have brought a Z06 that had its first oil change and turned. So you can use every option in the computer and modes.
You rock Austin, great content as always 👏
Thanks!!!
