09 LS3 Vette "500 hp" vs. 06 Saleen S/C

09 Vette LS3 with "500hp" upgrade from Orange County Performance Shop vs.
06 Saleen S/C with 488rwhp (only 6.5psi)

Vette was an auto, so in this vid, I let him downshift and get a small jump...

Saleen had two passengers, vette had only one

Listen guys, the race ended when the corvette let off near the end...I never claimed that I pulled at the end, you can clearly see he let off...we were pretty much dead even when both cars were full throttle and I am fine with that..his car is lighter, more aerodynamic and he had no passengers in the car...

to the people saying his car has more power, you're dumb and im not explaining the difference between rwhp and crank hp numbers again..

thanks for the views guys, have a good day

[06saleen3v]

And my car is custom tuned with many, many modifications putting down roughly 500rwhp now with under 7psi...motor trend uses stock cars for comparisons..

And how can my shit be overrated when its been dyno tested over 5 times? Get lost

[roadrage06]

Hahaha, I was born, but it wasn't yesterday. This vid reeks! Motor Trend did a review of the Saleen and Roush kits that came out when the new stangs did. Long story short - they are severely overrated. A TRUE 500hp 'vette would eat your mustang, especially when you disclose your own numbers as being less than that of the corvette's. Mustangs are notoriously heavy and sluggish - you can't really expect us to believe you beat a 500hp vette with less horsepower.

[06saleen3v]

my car with 488rwhp is roughly equivalent to 575 engine horspower (substantially more than the corvette in this video)...yes, mustangs are heavier and less aerodynamic than corvettes which is why I needed more power to pull on him...it is people like you that ruin youtube videos...pack your shit and leave, thanks

[roadrage06]

@06saleen3v Okay, now that I can believe. I have no problem conceding that I was wrong. But you quoted WHP for one vehicle and power at the crank for another. How is it my responsibility to be Miss Cleo? Perhaps you should be more clear in your descriptions. Nice car, good victory. P.s. - Again, your description was unclear to me. I'm not one of these 12 year old trolls that get pissed when the Lambo gets destroyed by a procharged camaro.

@roadrage06

I apologize for the bluntness in my original response...the guy in the vette pulled up into the gas station I where i was filling up and started talking shit to me. I quote, "my car will eat yours for breakfast"...he then proceded to tell me that he had an upgrade from an OC performance shop that put his car at 500hp...I knew he meant brake horsepower and not rwhp so that is why I listed "500hp" in my description (notice I did not put 500RWHP)

[killakdc5]

When i race vettes i walk them easily. I make over 500 RWHP. I have done many things to lighten up my stang also. Vettes are overpriced and underpowered for the cost. The new GT500 produces 650 hp, which is 0ver 150 more than the z06 and its 20k less. Ford got their shit together yo!!

[Abeloren619]

Nice saleen bro. You want to do some highway runs with my 06 saleen?

[braveheart4lif31]

covette has more horsepower my ass

[transam2002ws6]

where is the dyno vid of both the mustang and the corvette. then you wouldnt have to worry about people talking trash. plus the vid is only 14 secs. way to short. thats like a racer flyby.

[roadrage06]

@cedargroverealist That's really the only problem I have with them. Nose heavy. Other than that, I'd drive one. I especially love the new 5.0's.

[roadrage06]

@ArcAngelRyan Now, now. Don't be that way. We made up. We Chevy fans have legitimate cause for our loyalty. You can sneeze on an LS motor and get horsepower out of it -- gotta love that. But I do love the sound of a deep breathing mustang.

[cedargroverealist]

@roadrage06 no !! mustang are light on there feet never sluggish or heavy

[ethanissocool]

@06saleen3v Try that with a ZR1 good race tho. And you have a really nice car.

[camirocz]

Complete bullshit the mustang needs a lot more than 488rwhp to beat a c6 vette.A 500 h.p vette is a deep 11 second car ,something your stang is very far from accomplishing so like everyone else on this page i call bullshit!!!!!!!!
