Watching this car plow into the corners seeing and knowing how nose heavy this car is,the car is all over the track. Seeing this and knowing such things greatly strip away track times. I would not trust the numbers 1:04.3. get real, the Z06 did it in 1:34.43. I don't favor one car brand over another. The numbers here are wrong.
go see the new 2011 best drivers car Z06. In 10 laps the new Z06 will be coming around to lap this big heavy tank. The new ZL1 Camaro should take care of this Mustang also :-) cant wait to see that. But it does well for a Ford and a mustang at that
at the end of the day, the base model corvette is faster than the fastest mustang soo not sure what your point is. and you put about $6000 into a corvette it would smoke any GT500
@anocera17 Not the fastest mustang buddy. Also, ford improved the gt500 this year (stuck in 2010 huh?) so I do belive it now has the power, and handling to beat a corvette gs, which is still more expensive.
I have an 05 F 150 that has Many after market parts that has it putting out about 755 HP,its low and loud so when all the imports rol up along side they want to try it out OK here goes i nail the throttle bring the 256x 18 to a sizzle and then it catches and im gone you should see the eyes when they catch up LOL.

Laguna Seca's such a beautiful track. Makes me wonder why the American companies bother with the Nurburgring. They could use NASCAR tracks to test acceleration and high speed stability, and tracks like Laguna Seca (or Willow Springs, Virginia International) to test brakes and handling.
Lotus don't test their cars at the 'Ring, and they're widely acknowledged to be the best handling cars in the world.
@NobleM15fan The majority of performance cars come out of Europe, so the "benchmark" track (Nurburgring) is appropriately located in central Europe. Also, many European cars are not road legal in the States, so there is little point shipping something like a Radical SR8 to Laguna Seca if it will never be sold here. The reason Lotus doesn't test at the 'Ring is b/c real gearheads know and appreciate the fact that Lotus' are solely about handling and fun, and not about numbers.
For $49k this car chokes on donkey balls. I'd take a $30k 370z with a $6k twin turbo charger that would make this car look like it was sitting still. Dumbass american car makers.

It seems like European and Japanese cars are staying behind, if you look up "laguna seca production car record you will see the acr, the zr1 and the z06 carbon" even the z06 carbon is faster than the Nissan gtr now. Awesome
If this car was all wheel drive it would smoke every car out there.
The weight distribution is messed up, front is too heavy with a 5.4L Supercharged V8 while the back is so light, the car has more traction if it's mid engined.
Engine sits on top of the rear wheels when it accelerates it has more traction.
@magnum9987 So crap that GM is owned by the US taxpayer and ford is not. Your obviously retarded. A Corvette is a 2 seater sports car, the mustang is a 4 seater pony car. Why you are even comparing them like they are rivals in the same marketplace is beyond me.
@Aliasify The Base GT500 is 48K, the BAse Corvette is 48K, thats why I compare them. And guess what? The Corvette is faster. Because its not some 2ton POS with a blown motor. Its light weight with a pristine 6.2l, more efficient, and it'll take a corner 10X better.
@magnum9987 Your just proving my point. The Top spec mustang si the same price as the lowest spec corvette. Once again, the corvette is a 2 seater designed for performance only. While the gt500 is a sports coupe that can take 4 comfortably. Im not saying the Gt500 is better then a corvette, your quite simple arent you? Your obviously a 'vette fanboy, so wont listein to reason. How about you compare the ford GT to the camaro while your at it. Or an S2000 to an silvia?
@Aliasify No, you aren't getting my point. The comparison between the two is perfectly valid! Its price, not market. And the Mustang can only comfortabaly seat two. I've been in the seats myself, you have to be a midget to comfortabely sit in them. The comparison is compltely valid.
And the Ford GT to a camaro? Yeah, THATS a dumb comparison, and completely unrelated. I am talking price. You are talking nonsense. The Ford GT is the fastest Ford's ever built. I'm talking GM's slowest Corvette.
@Aliasify If it's the best Ford can do, please make mine a Chevy. I've had Corvettes, Camaros and 5 Mustangs and the Chevys were always the most satisfying cars to drive. I traded my 2008 Mustang Bullitt with 7,500 miles on it for a Camaro when the Bullitt got beat by a Chevy Cobalt. Ford could make a competitive car to the Vette. Why don't they? Answer they don't need to, Ford guys buy all the Mustangs Ford can make even if they are embarassing...it's all about profit for FOMOCO.
@GTSRBOY I suppose your a fucking expert are you? Unlike the driver in the video with loads of experiance who drove all the cars around laguna seca and then came to the conclusion, you came to your conclusion based on what personnel experiance of any of these vehicles?
you should just add the gear box from and clutch from the ford gt to the shelby. also irs is only from race tracks not the drag strip. either way the gt still kicks the ss ass. gm will ask for another bail out once they are done with this car.
@Detoyato doesnt matter if the GT-R's gps picks up that it is on race track, guess what...warrenty is voided, or if you decied to use the launch controll more than three times a year guess what.....you guessed it warrenty voided. the GT-R is fast but no ware near durrable i guarentte if you run it hard for half a day...it will be going to the shop and i think nissan relized it thats why they dont want it on the track
I really don't think that the Shelby fans that come to watch this video care much about the Vette drama. If that was the case we'd be typing in Z06 etc. We're not here for Vette trivia, specs, model correction, cost adjustments or otherwise.
Why is it that every Ford Mustang/Shelby GT500 video I go to, there's always some Government Motors loving Ford bashing moron who thinks he has to justify the 80K+ you have to pay for a Corvette ZO6 (or a C6, $110,000 xD) by bashing Mustangs? I'm guessing its because Corvette lovers are upset by their videos getting bashed by the Exotic fans. Pity, poor GM just doesn't know if its a muscle or exotic. Atleast Ford isnt confused about its type, that's for sure.
Actually, the Z06 is around 76k, unless you want to bring dealer markup into this. As I am a Z06 owner myself, I can say that all the justification we need is the ability to murder stock 'Stangs anytime, anywhere. Hell, a stock Z06 can put the hurt on several 100k+ exotics. Not hating on Mustangs, just calling it like I see it.
Also, GM never called the Corvette a musclecar or an exotic. It's ALWAYS been a sportscar/psuedo-Supercar. It seems you're the one who's confused here.
So...basically you justify spending that much money just to beat up on a car in the $30k bracket? By design concept, the only Mustang competitor for the Vettes was the Cobra...which wasn't really a big deal for the Jake Crowd until about '03 when all hell broke loose John Coletti style.
Not hating on Vettes. I love Vettes actually...I just think your argument needs significant refinement. No disrespect intended, though.
Read between the lines. I only mentioned Mustangs because that was one of the subject cars. The real justification is that there's pretty much nothing in the Z06's price bracket that can outperform it.
The only car that comes to mind in the under-100k group is the Dodge Viper, and it's around 90k. And when Mustang guys talk about the price of Corvettes, they seem to forget the 80k disaster that was the GT500KR.
But I'm actually loving the current GT500. I think It's quite impressive.
I highly doubt that the KR was meant as a showpiece(though they probably tried to use that to justify the price), seeing as how "KR" stands for "King of the Road". Not only was it more powerful, it also had custom tires and suspension tuned to be more "sporty". Then there's the gimmicky hoodpins meant to keep the lightweight CF hood from flying off at high speeds.
That thing was meant to show off. The problem was, it didn't have much to show off. But all that's changed, as far as I can tell.
GUys i jus bought one! Its amazing but guess what i work for chevy... and iv raced a few vettes and this is how it goes: on a highway or srtaight line this shelby beats a c6 vette, not the z06 tho. in a twist and turn the c6 will beat me but not by much. dont eventhink of z06, not a chance. but remember mustang was ment for camaro a vette is a differnt class of car. The shelby is too heavy for the vette and not nimble enough, but as ne car, after market can change everything :)
Lets see here the Mustang weighs close to 900 lbs more than a Corvette and still has a soild rear axle. How could you pick this portly caveman mobile over a Vette if you call your self a performance enthusiast? Doesn't add up to me... unless you just really want a Mustang
"portly caveman mobile"? i dont know if you've looked under your corvette, but your rolling on leaf springs. yes, the same suspension used in the 70's just like the solid rear. and if you payed attention to racing at all, you'd know that the mustang with the antiquated "solid rear" outhandles cars with more advanced suspensions. helping it win 2 KONI challenges with maybe a 3rd this year, a 2008 FIA GT4 win, and could possibly win this years SPEED world challenge.
Racoonpussy- The corvette still has full independent suspension, something the portly(very) mustang can only dream about. All your hopes and dreams cant put the 4000 lb mustang on a diet. Nor can those pounds avoids the laws of physics and the simple concept of grip. The wins in racing have more to do with the driver than the car, and from the looks of your channel you dont even have a drivers licence...so have fun with your skateboard and car magazines because thats as close as you will get
wow, nice way to fucking troll a comment i made a month ago. i don't think you even bothered to read my comments as i typed championship wins with a solid rear. it's ok though, it's what i expected from someone who favorited "lupe fiasco" and "7 pound dildo fight". i wonder how you came to the conclusion i don't have a drivers license? hahaha some of the videos you favorited really say a lot about you. chamillionaire? really? you favorited a chamillionaire video? hahaha, fucking retard.
The mustangs did have independent rear suspension for a 5 years, its to keep cost down, 4000 pounds, 4 seats, and quality, corvettes are cheap plastic cars
@racoonpooon Those weren't anywhere near stock mustangs though, they were race built cars that cost 80k base. The weight distribution is a lot more balanced, It's over 900 pounds lighter than this and I'm pretty sure it has a live rear axle.
@free2game yeah i know they're lighter and still use the live rear axle. but that was my point, that even with the live rear they run exceptionally well. as for the price that's still the cheapest race car you could possibly buy.
A regular mustang might be slow. A shelby GT 500 is any but. the corvette is the only american car that is faster and not by much. and all the money you save getting a shelby you can put into after market parts and it will smoke the corvette. so all you pony haters can suck it
i like this car but as far as corvette being the only car thats faster, what about the Viper line? the ford GT? the saleen S7? more costly but still...
@hispolarbear06 So the Saleen S7 doesn't exist? as well as The Viper and the Ultimate Aero? and the Ford GT? and a whole host of other American cars? There are a lot of American cars that are faster. And no matter how much money you put into a Mustang it cannot out handle a Saleen S7.
@hispolarbear06 You don't know much, do you? If we are going to go into aftermarket parts, an aftermarket corvette would rape any aftermarket mustang. It comes down to the displacement, and chevy has it, and ford wishes it has it. So ford can suck it
@hispolarbear06 srt10?? and the gt500 is more expensive than a bottom of the line vette and even the bottom of the line vette is faster than the gt500
@americanman911 yes you are right until ford revised the gt 500 again for 2011. That version can beat a corvette and if you pour say 10-15k into loosing weight and adding other things that would put more power down effeciently. You could possibly have a worthy opponent to take on the zo6. That is very commendable by ford/shelby.
@joshua626 yea but its already more expensive than a z06 sooo y would u wanna put another 15000 into it to make it possibly wanna beat a car that is already 10 grand less than it is already so for an extra 25 grand you can make the zo6 beat a ferrari
@americanman911 The corvette zo6 starts around 75k. The shelby starts at 48k and after the few options and destinations fees etc etc. You can walk out of their with a shelby for 60k. And you can quote me on that.
Thats -15k less than the zo6 more than a enough room to play catch up. :)
@hispolarbear06 there is one american car faster than the mustang. it's faster than the corvette too... and guess what.. it's FORD built. the ford gt. most beautiful car ever made!.. and to all the people who hate mustangs... y'all don't know cars. mustangs are beautiful pieces of machinery
Roush 427R kills the GT 500 in the corners. The 2010 427R pulls a 1.02g on Roush skid pad. Cooper Tire and Roush setup tires for the new car and got it over the 1g mark, like Jack wanted.
the corvette is the only american car faster than the shelby and not by much. and with all the money you save on the shelby can be put into after market parts and it will smoke the vette. so shut your mouth donkey raping sh*t eater. stop hating on the pony.
Obviously if the prism was the best car ever it would still be made, but it's not. Also it beat the charger and the camaro. The charger just wishes it could be that good and the camaro is for poopr people.

thunderbird, all mustangs can do to get a car to compete with any other muscle car is to strap it with a supercharger. its the easy way out to gain alot of horsepower and is far from the best car ever built, especially the ones with forced induction who last 80k miles and then start to have problems.
haha! my dad got in a wreck with one of those the guy driving it pulled out in front of us and we hit him at like 40mph and destroyed it. we drive an F-150 4x4
I like how he's just driving relaxed and not really enjoying it. Most people won't even sit in a car that fast, and he's not really effected by it at all.
I don't know how edited this was, but I would like to have seen Probst do at least 5 laps - he was just getting the feel of the car! It seemed especially squirrelly on the corkscrew (then again, most cars are unless they are CanAm or ALMS - i.e. ground effects, low to the ground, WIDE tires).
"american cars suck. they belong in the garbage. their only place is on the drag strip ONLY because they have truck motors in them because the US designers cant figure out what TECHNOLOGY means. anyways only american car i would drive is a vette. HONDA for the win"

you said this is a mustang why there a fucking snake the car where your fucking mustang sign at what a piece of shit to me..... and your fucking car doesnt sound like a snake at all...... i would trade this fucking mustang for a honda civic 1.3 liter vtec
Okay bud, if you're going to try and slam a car, american or otherwise, here's a tip. Try practicing writing your sentences in a way that makes sense. And yes this is a mustang. It comes straight from ford with that snake you were talking about. Lastly, have you ever driven a car?? It's hard to understand, but I'm pretty sure you said you'd rather have a honda civic over a GT500?? So you'd rather have a 110hp civic that can barely pull it's own weight over a supercharged 550hp shelby mustang??
Even someone that doesn't like mustangs would appreciate the GT500. So either you have down syndrome or you've never driven a car...i'm guessing the latter

It will utilize more aluminum to shed weight with an expected curbweight around 3500lbs (GT500 3900lbs)
The Aluminum 6.2 Liter LSA will be dropped in along with the clutch and flywheel from the Vette.
It will also use GM's magnetic selective IRS, and track tuned LSD from the CTSV.
GM said it would be priced competively with the GT500, but with that suspension, engine and LSD its worth paying a little more than a GT500.

@WelcomeToCarnate
the reason why the kr was so expensive was because they only made a small of amount. those car are meant to keep in your garage not race.
RaNdY04gt 1 year ago
I highly doubt that the KR was meant as a showpiece(though they probably tried to use that to justify the price), seeing as how "KR" stands for "King of the Road". Not only was it more powerful, it also had custom tires and suspension tuned to be more "sporty". Then there's the gimmicky hoodpins meant to keep the lightweight CF hood from flying off at high speeds.
That thing was meant to show off. The problem was, it didn't have much to show off. But all that's changed, as far as I can tell.

luis41chuck 2 years ago 2
GUys i jus bought one! Its amazing but guess what i work for chevy... and iv raced a few vettes and this is how it goes: on a highway or srtaight line this shelby beats a c6 vette, not the z06 tho. in a twist and turn the c6 will beat me but not by much. dont eventhink of z06, not a chance. but remember mustang was ment for camaro a vette is a differnt class of car. The shelby is too heavy for the vette and not nimble enough, but as ne car, after market can change everything :)

Lets see here the Mustang weighs close to 900 lbs more than a Corvette and still has a soild rear axle. How could you pick this portly caveman mobile over a Vette if you call your self a performance enthusiast? Doesn't add up to me... unless you just really want a Mustang
KarlSmithJones25 2 years ago
"portly caveman mobile"? i dont know if you've looked under your corvette, but your rolling on leaf springs. yes, the same suspension used in the 70's just like the solid rear. and if you payed attention to racing at all, you'd know that the mustang with the antiquated "solid rear" outhandles cars with more advanced suspensions. helping it win 2 KONI challenges with maybe a 3rd this year, a 2008 FIA GT4 win, and could possibly win this years SPEED world challenge.
racoonpooon 2 years ago 5
Racoonpussy- The corvette still has full independent suspension, something the portly(very) mustang can only dream about. All your hopes and dreams cant put the 4000 lb mustang on a diet. Nor can those pounds avoids the laws of physics and the simple concept of grip. The wins in racing have more to do with the driver than the car, and from the looks of your channel you dont even have a drivers licence...so have fun with your skateboard and car magazines because thats as close as you will get
KarlSmithJones25 2 years ago
wow, nice way to fucking troll a comment i made a month ago. i don't think you even bothered to read my comments as i typed championship wins with a solid rear. it's ok though, it's what i expected from someone who favorited "lupe fiasco" and "7 pound dildo fight". i wonder how you came to the conclusion i don't have a drivers license? hahaha some of the videos you favorited really say a lot about you. chamillionaire? really? you favorited a chamillionaire video? hahaha, fucking retard.

@racoonpooon Those weren't anywhere near stock mustangs though, they were race built cars that cost 80k base. The weight distribution is a lot more balanced, It's over 900 pounds lighter than this and I'm pretty sure it has a live rear axle.
free2game 2 years ago
@free2game yeah i know they're lighter and still use the live rear axle. but that was my point, that even with the live rear they run exceptionally well. as for the price that's still the cheapest race car you could possibly buy.

Yeah well, since they don't come with anything BUT a live rear axle I'm pretty sure it has one. Damn dude.

A regular mustang might be slow. A shelby GT 500 is any but. the corvette is the only american car that is faster and not by much. and all the money you save getting a shelby you can put into after market parts and it will smoke the corvette. so all you pony haters can suck it

@americanman911 yes you are right until ford revised the gt 500 again for 2011. That version can beat a corvette and if you pour say 10-15k into loosing weight and adding other things that would put more power down effeciently. You could possibly have a worthy opponent to take on the zo6. That is very commendable by ford/shelby.
joshua626 1 year ago
@joshua626 yea but its already more expensive than a z06 sooo y would u wanna put another 15000 into it to make it possibly wanna beat a car that is already 10 grand less than it is already so for an extra 25 grand you can make the zo6 beat a ferrari
americanman911 1 year ago
@americanman911 The corvette zo6 starts around 75k. The shelby starts at 48k and after the few options and destinations fees etc etc. You can walk out of their with a shelby for 60k. And you can quote me on that.
Thats -15k less than the zo6 more than a enough room to play catch up. :)

Okay bud, if you're going to try and slam a car, american or otherwise, here's a tip. Try practicing writing your sentences in a way that makes sense. And yes this is a mustang. It comes straight from ford with that snake you were talking about. Lastly, have you ever driven a car?? It's hard to understand, but I'm pretty sure you said you'd rather have a honda civic over a GT500?? So you'd rather have a 110hp civic that can barely pull it's own weight over a supercharged 550hp shelby mustang??
