2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport vs. 2011 Ford Shelby GT500
 

That's damned impressive! I wish they would have done some laps around a big track, that's where you see what's up for real with sector times and cornering speeds. Slaloms and skidpads only measure a particular characteristic. But damn G, that's fly.

Impressive. I wonder what a Shelby would run at the track with drag tires? Because the 12.6 is not that much better than a GT with a lot less power.

All you had to do was ask.

Wow! That's near enough as makes no difference. And an almost unbelievable improvement over it's previous time. Nine seconds!

Well, this looks like a pretty sloppy lap. Either the driver ain't so hot and there's even more time to be had, or its just brute force. My guess is a bit of the two.




Imagine what Ford could do with a lighter smaller true front-mid sports car. :thumbs_up:

^ I second that. But it is still a fast car. I like the sound of that thing though. I love forced induction motors. I wish there was a track like that close to San Diego so I could rip it up with a little Cobalt SS.
