Default 2011 Chevorlet Corvette Z06 vs 2013 Ford Cobra Mustang

I went to San Antonio last week and won the Ford vs Chevy Shoot out. The race format was 120 cars showed up for grudge races. The top 10 Fords and top 10 Chevorlets then qualified to bracket race for the title. Here is a video of me beating a new 2013 Cobra.

Default Z06 vs Rustang

Magazines can test cars all day with pro drivers and make claims to this and that. This is great heads up racing with normal everyday drivers. Great job on shutting down another Rustang

Good runs. I see the video says both cars stock. Were either or both cars on drag radials or on stock tires? Z06 tire tread looks like a Nitto tread in the picture? NT05?

Everyone knows its a drivers race between these two cars. In this case, the Z06 driver won 4 out of 4 races. Got any kleenex you can spare for the GT500 driver, eh?

Mustang is a brick on wheels with a lot of horses.

Nice. Wish I'd known this was happening. I'd driven down to race.

At least this thread isn't about speculation or wishful thinking, it's reality.

One of the craziest stats I have seen about these two cars is that Ford has sold more 2013 gt500s in two months than GM has sold C6Zs in three years.

It costs less and has more HP. A lot of people just see the HP number and get in line. We all know there is more to a car than HP numbers

It is not really a huge deal, relax.

Just like the correct usage of "there" and "they're" not being a big deal to some people.

Hard to believe since there was only one available at any Ford dealership here in New England about 3 weeks ago.
