I am not sure how you are saying that it is too late. The BASE GT500 4 seat Mustang just beat out the mid-engine C8 by 1.28s both similar in price and options. Remember a base C8 isn't going to compete you will need the Mag and Performance Packages upgrades. We also know that the BASE 500 is capable of 10:60s @ 133 mph at the strip. Knowing this what would you prefer? I know what my answer would be. A few weeks ago we were all singing the praises of the C8 thinking that it would probably be faster than the CF package never mind the BASE. So yes this is a big deal IMO. I am not naive though and I understand a Z06 package will soon be offered which will surely out pace even the CF package, but for what price? For now I am pretty impressed with what Ford has accomplished especially in the BASE package and pricing.

Didn't the regular ZL1 take down the 350R which weighs 3,700 pounds? Do you guys think the C8 Z51 is quicker on the track than a ZL1 or the 350R?
Think this comparison has given Mustang boys too much confidence, as if they aren't dense as is. There have been Camaros that are better on the track than Corvettes for years. All this chest pounding and a 110 less horsepower ZL1 may be quicker around a track than the GT500.. Lol. |

I disagree, I’ve been a part of quite a few forums and they all have their fanboys and outright a holes. Even when I had a GT350, I always thought M6G was/is by far the worst.

Maybe so. It probably just depends on where you spend the most time. Almost need to ban yourself after a while just to clear your head of the BS.

Ah ok I give up. But in the spirit of the season. I hope the C8 does extremely well. In the street.And at the drag strip.

What whiteboy was saying is that the gt500 did awesome and put up great numbers, but you're delusional if you don't think the c8 could be capable of beating the base's track times at a track with less long straights, even VIR Grand might be different who knows. Look at the video and see where the gt500 made up ground. You know damn well that a z51 equipped corvette is only in the mid 60s and that's all it needs to be competitive performance wise. The "similarly priced" one in the MT comparo had a lot of non performance features.

To just like cars in general i find svtp fairly quick to call out the fanboys. But yeah, i almost felt bad when i went from gt to gt350 section on M6G because i had not eaten enough grey poupon.
