Well that's a given obvious fact. The shelby is heavy! 700+lbs heavier. I'm sure if the vette weighed the same the shelby would smoke it.



I was just giving an example the mustang's only real standing chance against vettes are our blow big brothers.

Oh, I know. Ranger and those guys rent out MIR in late December every year to make hero passes with -2000 DA and buckets of VHT. Still very impressive but they ain't gonna run those times at Ennis in June. :smoke2:

I agree. However, it does show the amazing potential of those cars be it a LS3 or LS7 car in stock or lightly modified form to which a 5.0 can't compete with.

Stock 5.0 vs stock LS3 Vette = drivers race.

Stock 5.0 vs stock Z06 = Z06 by a bunch.

Bolt-on 5.0 vs Bolt on LS3 = Vette with ease

Bolt-on 5.0 w/boost vs LS3 h/c/i = close race

Bolt on 5.0 w/boost vs h/c/i Z06 = Z06 by murder

Haha, yeah I know what you are saying. Honestly, I've always thought comparing a Mustang vs the Vette really isn't a fair comparison considering the Mustang is a 2+2 coupe and Vette is a two seater sports car, but this conversation is about answering the OP's original question.

A more fair comparison would be the old Camaro vs Mustang conversation in which the new Mustang dominates in every way.

I would definitely say it is a driver's race with the vette pulling up top. My 5.0 I could just get into the 12s. 12.8 @ 111. ( Manual-bad driving, Dallas Mustang tune-not so great) I did have the boss mani, tune, cold air, wider wheels and tires though. My stock vette has ran, at its slowest, a 12.4@ 116. The fastest being a 12.1@ 117. Stock everything...including the heavy ass run flats. It's an auto btw. I would say it takes full exhaust and intake on a stang and then it should start getting some c6 ls3s. It would be neck and neck with the ls2s stock. (07 and prior)

The mustang vs corvette banter will never die.

I was ok with it. The track prep and temps weren't great. Blue devil, on this site, was there that night and barely dipping into the 12s also. He had exhaust and a throttle body and i think bigger gears in addition to me. Other than that we both had a tune, boss mani, and cold air. Wasn't just me...
