Which American GT3 did you decide to buy? Mustang vs Corvette or both? How do you like them?

[@marshw13FlightSim]

I clicked expecting a video featuring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, until I re-read the title and realized it said Chevy instead of Ferrari. Still glad I clicked. awesome video!!!

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Matt Damon and Chevy Chase!!!

[@zachpeterson4519]

I compared the two at Road Atlanta, and found the Mustang about a second slower than the Corvette if I push about the same, while also compensating for the driving differences between front engine vs. mid engine. To get them equal, I had to push the Mustang a lot harder than the Corvette. Mustang sounds better and can take kerbs better, but it's not my choice. Not as fast or enjoyable, and that's coming from a Ford guy.

You're going to get me into this game if I'm not very careful!
Cool Video.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

You should! 🤣 Don't have to do a $12K (CAD) mid-life crisis rig for it. Moza R5 bundle (wheel with desk clamp, pedals) goes for under $500 USD.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

This was my old setup: th-cam.com/video/oHyOjy6Qvrc/w-d-xo.html

[@brick1357]

I just got both, never raced GT3 before and this is my first time being interested in GT3s as I run LMP2 mostly. I have no idea what a good lap time is but in practice earlier setting up for IMSA Endurance I was hitting 47.9s and low 48s with my average being a 48.5….
Not sure what a good pace is but I love the way the mustang feels, it’s big and heavy but it has some throaty punchy power behind it. Cant wait to race it this season and get experience in a new car class

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

In the 46s is really good under 2K iRating. I was in a hosted session yesterday where 7k guys were doing low to mid 44s. Depends on temp and fuel load.

[@brick1357]

@@SizzlingPopcorn good to know, I was running bull fuel and baseline setup with camber changes to max tire wear during an hour run.
Thanks!

[@ktech6500]

i have a 2019 Mustang GT so ofc i went for the mustang ;)

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

You didn't go for the Clio? Come on! 🤣

[@deanwannell6613]

Mustang sounds better though

[@6KROK]

I got both!!

[@tonygee3284]

I grabbed the mustang its really good.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Watch where you grab it! 😎

[@overthetopoperationsracing3199]

Mustang for me! I like to sound! I race the BMW GT3 and found the BMW to be about a second faster at Daytona road course, but that was on my first run with the Mustang. I’m sure my times will get better and I think the Mustang will do better at tracks like VIR.
Thanks for the video!
See ya on the track!

Yes, they'll each have their tracks. Coming from the Merc GT3, the Mustang has similar loud and powerful sound.

[@Sl4pTrap]

Nice video, but you shoul check your Mic, its oversteering a lot.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Better oversteering than understeering! 🤣

[@Sneddonau]

Thanks for the review.. it looks from even just the lap that the corvette was faster though

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Not sure if it’s the wall scrape in the Mustang at the end of the outlap. I think it’ll depend on track and setup (and driver 🤣).

[@gregorymoore4281]

To hell with that chevrrari! Mustang all the way!

[@SizzlingPopcorn]
