The drag race starts at 15:23
Thank You very much. I’d rather listen to Seldon Cooper talk about black matter than this guy talk about anything
Life saver
The hero we didn’t deserve.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank god
The Mustang had a loose nut between the seat and the steering wheel.... Needs a driver.
The Vette is also significantly easier to launch considering its down something like 265 hp...
Blame ford on that just like the issue with the mustang running in to crowds I guess he parked in front of the Camaro knowing he would have a better chance so you ford guys can have something talk about
Agreed.
Needs a driver who drives instead of talking incessantly in a whiny voice. I switch this video off after 5 seconds and only came down here to add insult to injury. ;)
144 miles an hour and he takes both hands off the wheel, that tells you how legit this competition was. What a fruit.
It looks like you didn’t get a good launch against the vette.
The Vette spins very litte, if at all in some cases. Big advantage on launch. Something to note: If the Vette did spin and launched worse, the actual speed would have been higher than it tested. Good launch means better time but less speed in most cases. Tho I imagine the wheelspin on the Mustang was beyond excessive, limiting time and speed.
Looks like it's always pretty hard to launch. (Time for you to buy extra expensive tires again, now that those have been used 3x) (I know I wouldn't).
@@lookn2find , man... I can't wait until we see what the next z06 is gonna have for power.
it nearly gets 10s with 500HP.
so predictable off the line. light to light gt500 is spin city.
Good luck, or once per year, of you want a good launch against the Vette. There's no denying the power of the Ford here, but, it ain't enough to win me over to that NA C8's dependable launches.
It looks like he didn’t launch at all
Wonder what he will sound like when he goes through puberty.
I'm sure he hasn't
Lol!
Probably the same as he does now, and still has that nasty cobra. Maybe you should trade YOUR puberty for something other than your Ford Escape. Weird flex bro.
Pahahaha
Lol
It looked like you were sleeping at the light lol
Once the ZR1 or Z06 comes out that C8 is gonna be wicked
Ya I've heard the c8 zr1 will be around 1000hp. Imagine that 😳
tell me about ir
@1bigjohn11 ya but still way cheaper than most super cars i think. Its still mind boggling about the base model c8 starting around 60 thousand tho
It's gonna make like 800 hp. It's gonna be dohc flat plane crank and 5.5 liters. Plus twin snails
@@Pittsburgh-412 - The C5 - C8 Corvette is the best performance bargain by far.
Why is your window open everytime? You're just causing unnecessary drag. 🤦♂️
Nos and window are on the same button 😂
You were pulling up on that vette like it was standing still. Next time remember ur racing ... ur we’re definitely asleep at the start
If he's guilty of sleeping, at least he's consistent (he was mildly faster when he was vs the C8), like every CFTP owner.
It is not who crosses the line first, it is who got the highest top speed.
Nah, he lost. It is called horsepower to weight ratio.
@@bencarter3166 right and the Shelby from many tests is the faster car.. nice try though
@@jeffsond - "Shelby from many tests is the faster car"? It seems to struggle against a base model C8 though.
Due to the GT500 having a lazy start, should have re-run the race...
You mean due to the GT500 not being able to put the power down the Ford is useless
Unfortunately the event closed after that final race, however the delay you are seeing is caused by the built in launch control in the GT500. When you let off on the brake there actually is a built-in second long delay, whereas the C8 is instantaneous.
@@jonnybingo4062 we have a gt500, it launches much better than he did
@@jonnybingo4062 Way to show what an idiot you are. Durr hurr if a car has too much power for street tires it's useless. Yea sure bud the Vette was 13mph slower and the Ford had the windows down creating drag. Slow is slow pal...jumping the start don't make you faster.
Jonboy is too slow to understand that it's your top speed not who crosses first
He literally had 2 car gap cause of your late launch
And drag from his down window.
Lol and and and and stfu ford sux
The c8 grips and rips bro nothing can hang with it off the line
@@alexchavez9083 Lol, but yes his launch was not good. So as to your comment is BS
@@anthonywar7223 to 150 metres 😂
Wow! The GT500 didn't even stand a chance against the C8. I love what GM has done with the C8 and I can't wait to see a Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1. The gap will widen even further ;)
@@alfrede.neuman8611 The MPH doesn't matter when he still finished second... Just like the 1/4 mile, you can have a faster trap speed but still lose... Which he did...
@@alfrede.neuman8611 Does nobody here have any idea what they are talking about? This is Shift Sector, a half mile drag event is what this current video is. While they do have a trap speed competition to see what the fastest car is, they are a drag racing / roll racing at their events. Too many people here talking that don't know anything.
Nope it's the driver in the gt500. Different driver gt500 all day.
@@troyfrazier4558 Yep. And leave the window up. Unbelievable.
@@troyfrazier4558 it's close... especially for a car that costs less than the gt500
16:15 - 16:30 Sounds like your crying 😂
Geekgasm
Can't wait for that Z06. Shouldn't be too much longer.
Imagine when they do a ZR1 version of it
@@akob8169
Performance will be mindblowing for sure, but I think the NA flat plane crank is going to be the sweet spot in the line up. Not as crazy about twin turbos as I am about normal aspiration.
@@wbwayne8887 yeah the response of natural is amazing compared to turbos
It still won't have enough horses. It has been rumored that it will get only 550 horses at full stock off of the assembly line. It is now in the category were 700 horses and a V-10 or the normal average, and it is the second ugliest "Vette ever designed.
@@beauxr.benoit1374
The engine specs have already been anounced for the LT6 engine in the C8 Z06. Hp is 670 and torque is rated at 470 lb-ft. Guess you haven't been paying much attention, huh?
The camera man had one job recording the crash and he records the mph instead lmao
🤣😂😭
Stock C8 spanked the shit out of the 755hp GT500. That must be embarrassing! ! ! ! LOLOL
The gt500 took a while to exit if not he won the bad thing was the pilot because all the videos the SHELBY gt500 destroys the c8 corvette
@SS and bro, Dodge made the Hellcat very heavy, the demon and faster than the hellcat
Spinning ain’t winning. Seen a Taurus sho beat a c7 corvette. Getting beat by a Taurus is crazy🤣
The point is the mustang is faster that the Corvette "it needs a better driver"
on a straight sure in a circuit nope
@@queenofdarkness3341 Also faster on most circuits
Yes a more experienced not afraid driver with make a big difference
The Corvette has a higher top speed, go do your research.
its not faster
Let’s be honest.. everyone knows once the ZR1/Z06 C8 comes out they are fkd! The base model C8 is door to door with Mopars/Fords best at mid 400hp. Stangs/ hellcats/ vipers had their fun but it’s time for the king to awaken 🔥🔥.
The viper is retired bro…
To bad that z06 z8 still won't break 700 hp big sad
We've got to count the cost of independent racing risks more soberly & the blessings@11:11 Imagine even further if they'd lost their lives. Thank God it ended with no lives seriously injured or lost. Financially back to the drawing board. Got to tell you Speed Phenom, you're becoming a favorite You Tuber for me young man. Appreciate your transparency, genuineness intelligence & passion. Very respective watching, listening and learning about you. Keep up the feeds.
@11:23 min. set in the best air flow mode right now. Lol... Except for the windows being down @16:15 & being distracted by the C8 Stingray.
Great videos again and again .Thanks for sharing.
Love how you are having fun (and sharing with us) on the track, not on public roads (with a few exceptions :)
gt500 has HP, unfortunately not balanced as well as C8.
All around vehicle for street, id say C8. Weight where it matters.
650 HP in that C8 would be an absolute lights out ride. Quick as hell.
Naw it won't because he has no idea how to use launch control . I've raced so many c8s its dumb never lost i even refuse to race them now . A few are now gt500 owners. So if u dont own either stop.with this assumption shit . Its a taste I dont like small cars at all so I love my gt500 , my best friend loves small cars but he loves my gt500 and his c8 there different cars shouldn't even be matched with each other. Also he has bought a gt500 and has a c8 now but he selling the c8 and save it for the z06 he likes the car but he wants to take his kids on rides .
@@randyjr3479 sure you have bud lol. Im sure you own a GT500, and im sure youve raced tons of C8's and never lost despite them getting destroyed on every drag race video on the internet, and Im sure they just sold their cars immediately to drop down $100k for a SLOWER car. LMAO
@@weasle2904 being that u said u have seen a gt500 getting destroyed by a c8 we have nothing to talk about . Cause they walk everything but a zr1 . Also though I have nothing to prove to u but u are welcomed to add me on IG u can see that full pic up there in the corner which my black track pack .
@@randyjr3479 All you have to do is search GT500 vs C8 dragrace and you can find plenty. The GT500 needs stickier tires, perfect timing due to the launch control delay, and very ideal conditions in order to catch a C8 in a drag.
@@weasle2904 and did and no
Damn I can’t wait for the C8 Z06 and ZR1, that base model is still nice though
You're right, if you haven't driven the 'regular' Vette yet, how could you really know what power level is the right amount? It's already extremely quick the way it is, right?
Then pull out the ford gt! Battle on!
@@timcheek5134 imagine comparing a million dollars car vs a 100 k car😂😂
That race was epic!
Speed Phenom Awesome Video I'm glad you had a great time Shift Sector I think your GT500 CFTP did an impressive job going 159mph without all the down force and I think you should try again with Drag tires and Congratulations on getting 141k Subs
Definitely shit tyres was spinning into 3rd
Most of you are actually slow as all hell and don’t realize the GT500 has a full second to 2 second delay from factory in the launch control.
Its a full second not two. No matter what its a big failure and shouldn’t have happened on this Mustang. The Corvette still wins with 265 less hp. And dont forget it was a mile long. Way enough to skip the excuses.
@@joebiden6835 I said 1-2. It’s a computer we’re talking about here, something that can have glitches in the software from time to time. I was including those times in my original statement. And speedphenom knew about it and should’ve launched a second or 2 sooner and the results would’ve been different. But if it was a c7 Zr1 A8 the gt500 would’ve gotten walked stock for stock
@@ctcdarkness well Ford failed even more than what i thought. Fyi its one second and not one or two. Its been said and reviewed by many channels and nobody seems to understand truly why that occurred on a high performance car.
@@joebiden6835 again, it’s a computer, a computer from time to time will glitch and it won’t be perfect. I was covering both in my statements. No ones saying that you’re wrong but you’re disputing me even when I explain that there are gonna be hiccups in the software from time to time.
No. It doesn’t. I have one. He simply left late.
You were close on the c8, I got goosebumps watching that, I also found out a few days ago that the gt500 might not be quick as the c8 launching but it can put accelerate it. That’s nuts that race.
Love your videos attitude and temperament! Such a nice change seeing competitiveness without aggression! I don't think you have an aggressive bone in your body, so it's relaxing not tense to follow your posts
Where is it documented that the rain tray in helps with straight line racing?
How do you consistently leave your window down while doing a drag event....even after you took all the things that cause drag off...only to cause drag yourself?! I don't get it.
Everything he did to the car didn't help his overall top speed any... He could have had a better speed if he did a driver mod
15:22 for the drag race. You’re welcome.
A front engine car is never going to hook up like a mid engine car. The Z06 will be a total game changer.
Nice to see this kid is cool and not rude towards other brands of cars
A sleep at the light! Must have given a full second!
No that's just how slow forwards are out of the hole
Well one thing is for sure people forget it was a 1/2 mile race. That vette would smoke that GT500 on the 1/4 for sure lol.
The Mustang has over 700 horses, and the 'Vette doesn't even have a full 500. The Ford will roast it all day long regardless of the length of the race unless the Mustang breaks something. I typed this before I watched it and the only way the C-8 won was because of the head start, notice that the Mustang almost caught up with it.
@@beauxr.benoit1374 head start? You mean the grand turd 500 can't launch and it's a heavy slug,you ford lovers and your excuses.
Wow that is fast. What did the model 3 tesla get to
Speed man you are the man!
That's Sung Kang from Fast and the Furious in his twin turbo R8 that crashed...he posted it on his instagram
Danny pak*
two different people. he's using sung kang's profile picture
Wow, I guessed a stock C8 would run about 135 in the 1/2 mile and it did 144. I also guessed the GT500 would run around 150 which it also exceeded.
you and the zl1 guy both seem real cool. def added to the video personality
I've read that the launch control on the GT500 has a severe lag when you let off the brake. Could that be the issue instead of "driver asleep at the wheel."?
Yes, the 1 second delay is ridiculous. Bette had about 2 cars on him by the time he even moved. I’m born and raised ford but love Camaros and vettes and know what they can do but this was really a no brainer lol mustang would win bc of the power but with that second long delay it didn’t stand a chance against the vette with all the weight in the rear bc of it being a mid engine and it’s instant launch
I can’t wait to see the times a zo6 or Zora spec will put down
With the windows down you might as well have a parachute behind you. I know you have to know that already!! Great video and glad everyone was safe.
Great video loved it , Good Job
I seriously love how you took the time to run the GT500 in both states of factory aero, something I've never seen anyone do. I'm not surprised that it was worth 3-4 mph either, and bet most of the improvement happened after 110-120 mph. Awesome job!
3-4 may not sound like a lot but in an all other things the same scenario that's quite a bit!
His problem was traction not aero
He chased the aerodynamics
But
Forgot to close the window
On
ALL 3 runs.
They be starring each other to the death lol 16:58
Why does a 2 minutes worth of actual testing takes almost 19 minutes to show?
Longer content means more revenue for the youtubers thus creating more content. Any compentent you tuber knows that and is the smart thing to do. Just skip all the talking and get to the racing like everyone else. At the end of the day people like him keep people like us entertained.
Thanks for the heads-up skipped right to 3/4 done
no gonna agree with last race but I love your enthusiasm!!!!
Well, it was faster than the earlier one...
At the beginning of the vid, I noticed that you were travelling up the grapevine headed towards the San Joaquin Valley. Then once you were at the event, I kept thinking that it looks like where I grew up. Then in the background, I saw Coalinga Fire Dept and started busting up. I went to Jr High and High School in Coalinga, lol. Go Horned Toads!!!

Imagine a 2022 Z06.
🔥
imagine the price
@@burgerbandit3646 Probably about the same price as a CFTP Gt500!!🤔😎
@@fasttime823 Maybe one with a $30k markup. And that might be before the added options.
@@burgerbandit3646 Whatever the price is gonna be for the upcoming C8 Z06 it will be well worth the price of admission!!!...$120k for a heavy (4,000lbs!!) Track car that chews up tires after one hero lap and has absolutely horrific fuel consumption????!!🤔
Great video. Awesome content.
The Cobra on all the tools is so nice!
I have to say being a Ford guy your new C8 impresses me a lot! Does the C8 run Cup 2's as well? If not it would be cool to see it run the track with a set on it. Imagine your C8 with carbon fiber wheels, cup 2's and 250 more hp...Waiting on the new Z06 for sure. Thanks for another great video.
Just save a little more then treat yourself don't cheat yourself and get a blackwing while you can....they only make 250 a year (in all colors) FASTER than both these cars. 200+ PLUS MPH. Henessesy got one to 225 MPH. And its not just a sports car it also luxury. 😏
Forgetting to put up the windows is not cool my friend. 😒😕
What did the zl1 trap?
It would have been a photo finnish if you launched at the same time. That shows how quick that corvette is. Can't wait for the z06 or zr1.
The new Z06 should be a beast.
Wouldn't it have been better to just remove the wing altogether? And maybe have the window up from the start?
Whatever
Loving the action brother!
Thanks!
Great video bro.
Nice runs
Love the hyper chick giggles. Your front bald tires made me nervous for you. Looks like you shredded them on the track 🤭😁
what they did to the corvette is amazing that suspension and technology that went into it to launch 🚀 like a rocket for an rear wheel drive car is insane wich is why i think it beat the 760 🐎 GT-500 plus the surface dint help the GT-500 on the launch but on a prepped surface that GT-500 would definitely take it in the 1/4 and specially on the 1/2 it was coming in hot 🔥 WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE 🇺🇸
Its got the weight over the rear. Finally starting to catch up with porsche but its a bit late
In the 1/2 sure, but the 1/4 would be a tough run. Needed the second half to catch back up from that jump. These c8s are sick off the line.
What is with your start?
At the end of the day one of us will have gap insurance. 🤣🤣
Imagine how much faster you could've been against that Vette if you actually closed the window... wow 🙄
Maybe 1 or 2 MPH difference..... Tell you you have room temperature IQ without telling me you have room temperature IQ. Besides mustangs are SOOOO SLOWWWWW. LMFAO.
9 out of 10 videos i've EVER seen on youtube they LOSE. Cadillac V's eat them for a nice little snack. 🤷♂🥴🤣🤣
Not much. I mean the worst part about this was yeah that but also his launch was terrible
Man these base corvettes are something else geez 🙄 killing the best mustang has to offer
The thing literally got walked down with a kid behind the wheel.
Your Shelby GT500 VS the Camaro ZL1. How did it went?
Do you have any idea how much drag having the windows down causes ,you might as well have been towing a Fox body Mustang that had the windows rolled up .
Yep and the fact he didnt have a clue about this car too.
That's just a little base a** vet, wait till the top model comes out! I heard the will only have 1000 hp!
They always do their tests against a base! Oh and the mustang is tuned? Let them go up against a tuned Exorcist!
Yep itcwill be wheel spinning off the line too 🤤
@@Johnnydammit wrong the first vette was tuned were u zzzzzzz ??
Let’s face it the corvette is just a better car. And when the z06 comes out the Mustang will be old news.
Agreed
U do kno he purposely let the vett win . And nobody thinks the vett is the better car , its different thats all . And the z06 ans the gt500 will be in different categories.
@@randyjr3479 he didn't let anyone win. The Corvette just launches better and on an unprepped surface he had no hope of catching up. The Corvette is most certainly the better car from an engineering standpoint
@@patrick-pv8cg my guy watch the video if have or raced anything the reaction time was so bad the vett pulled off the line before he even let go of the brake. Thats not a car problem thats driver error.
That track looks like it’s in my neck of the woods. Where is it?
I hope you get the tire thing worked out and keep the GT500.
There's a POV video of a guy on the German Autobahn with his GT500 and he achieves 181 mph multiple times in the far left lane. It's wild.

You were pulling on him hard at the end there, I thought he let go but then realized probably not!
Gotta love invalid video races being taken as gospel on CZcams.
Gotta love butthurt fanboys who can't accept that sometimes the faster car loses.
The c8 starts off like speedy Gonzalez
great great video ty
How did you get this car?
You would’ve won if you took off on time lol 😂
Another few seconds and you'd have caught him no problem
But in the “real world” how often do you get to drag a car for over half a mile?
The Vette would be the winner in most stop light challenges!
@@ces69 true. Id like to see another run with a good launch on both cars.
Corvette is still wining no matter how much you wine tho
@@joebiden6835 who is whining?
@@CanadianCruisin not you
In the words of Torreto "You never had me , you never had your car, granny shifting"
Where is this event located?
The hood doesn’t create downforce, it reduces front end lift by allowing air that would normally be trapped in the engine bay after passing through the radiator to escape. Look at many cars at high speed and you can see the hood bowing up for that reason. That likely cost you some speed instead of allowing you to attain a higher one
Absolutely agree. Live and learn right lol. Just a kid with a wicked car testing shit out. I would have pulled the entire wing off, probably about the same amount of hardware to remove.
The c8 continues to surprise me. I didn't think it had a chance in the half mile. If mph is what is measured FTW then the gt500 won that race. I can't wait for the C8 Z06!
@Speed Phenom what did you think about Wes's 1100hp GT350?
Epic! Hopefully he can give me a ride in it soon!!
@@SpeedPhenom I live less than a mile from his shop and have known him for years, fantastic person and detailer.
Bad Ass video, love the video.
The physics is interesting here SP. The C8 launches so well but the GT500 beat it into the ground based on top speed even with the Vette in the lead at the finish line. Of course, with an extra 260hp the GT only needed a little more time to take the overall lead. Pretty impressive that the C8 conquers most anything on the launch. GM really engineered that car well. It’s really an amazing car to just kick around town in and to race. Super versatile 🤙
265hp
Getting famous off of comments day 174, so I can live the dream, live life to the fullest🤙🚀🤙
Dear Speed Phenom, a bit of spinning tires at the launch it’s not a bad thing for a top speed event! In fact the C8 Corvette lost, because although it cross the line first and certainly did the best time, the GT500 won with a much higher top speed. That’s not a drag race, that’a a top speed race! I did some with with my former C6 Z06 and those can be as exciting as a track day. I hope you upgrade your C8 soon, because a simple intake/ full exhaust and chip tuning mods transformed my Z06 into another car, unleashing about +70hp of fury. I imagine the potential of the superior C8 platform at the track days after the upgrades! Thanks for another excellent video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Crap its first over the line.
U want top speed go to bonneville !!
@@rhett7716 Nope! It’s a Top Speed test like the video says! That’s not your 1/4 mile drag race!
Saw your name and cars on the competitor list for Saturday. Was hoping I’d see you there for the Sunday as well when I was there. Would have loved to race your GT500 heads up.
You left your windows down...and you are worried about drag on the rear spoiler? And your speed was 144 on the last run vs 159 on your second. Yea.....you may of lost but it wasn't the cars fault. I like your enthusiasm!
His speed was above 150 with the window down
If it is like any other imposed top speed when the Speedo shows 180 mph the shut off the fuel and roll below 180 until the engine make revolutions restarts!
apparently when 180 is hit, a tire departs, to prevent further acceleration.
The transmission blows up
@@rhett7716 Ford put good money to make a dual clutch transmission that could handle that much torque so no the Transmission should not blow up!
The title made me smile.
Yea he spun on the start big time but sure did run him down very FAST! Wow
Lol ya think??? Entry level na vs ford's top stang ...you fanboys need to think outside the box when it is the level headed thing to do
please dont sell the gt500
C8 weight over rear wheels, Ford weight over front tires. The Ford just cannot put down it’s formidable power. Race from a roll and it’s a different story. Give me the C8 all day, so much cooler and functional!!
Drag cars dont have engines in rear unless from the 70s
And that is the difference in quick and fast...C8 is a champion of a car.
Do more races with the gt500!🙏
No he’s not
