GT500 had a very tall first gear. 3.31 differential with a 2.66 first gear is not ideal for launching. Many are installing a 3.73 or 4.10 gears with sticky tires. The result would be quite different. Unlike the Corvette changing out a gear in a GT500 is very cheap in comparison.

Yes, I do like the way it looks. Much better than the C7 rear IMO.. but let's not make this about looks. Both cars are performance bargains but for the drag strip, the GT500 takes the cake.

Haha... Did you not watch the video I posted... Like I said previously, $3K into the GT500 and you're at 700RWHP. The GT500 has the advantage stock or modded.

I don't get it, why would anybody expect a stock C7 to beat a GT500 in a straight line? It's not a negative aspect of the C7. They are totally different cars in different classes. I met a GT500 owner in a Publix parking lot last Sunday and we spoke to each other. Not once did we compare ***** sizes. We just enjoyed each other's vehicles. The GT500 is a monster, but not something I would want to drive every day.
Hard for a C7 to outrun a car that has 200 or so more HP. Just the way it is and I will agree, the GT500 is a great car.

Oh wait...they haven't, but I am sure you have an excuse for that too.

Your missing the point. You can put any amount of money in the Mustang, and its still a Mustang. The Corvette is in a different league! Always has been.

Fear the snake.
But on a track the c7 will obviously win just don't pull up to any 13-14 gt500's on the street. You will be destroyed.
I like the comment about how more women drive mustangs. I see far more women and old men driving vettes than Shelby cobras and that's a fact. Most women couldn't even depress the clutch on a gt500.

What are you talking about? I don't see what is getting accomplished by bashing the car when it was expected to lose the race in the first place? It doesn't hurt my feelings because I don't care either way. If people enjoy spending their time going to specific car forums just to bash that type of car then go for it.
