Default 2014 Stingray vs. 2013 Mustang 5.0 vs. Z06's vs. COPS

Managed to set up a couple of runs with the new 2014 C7 Z51, Mustang 5.0 with full bolt-ons and a couple of Z06's. There was just way too many nutswingers by the end of the evening though, so the cops swarmed in and put an end to all our fun. Only one ticket for a red light was issued, thank goodness...

Good runs..Damn quick cars!

I would have been outta there after seeing two cop cars on the same road in a short period of time though. That is usually a good sign that the night is over or time to find another spot. LOL

What a difference it made going from starting at a lower RPM and MPH and short shifting a gear to driving it decent in the C7 vs 5.0 race.

I saw the same exact thing. Short shifted the 2-3 and ended up gettin railed for a bit and didn't catch back until like 130... and 2nd run, nailed shifts correctly, and 5.0 never got ahead at all.

Yep this is why i always make a big deal about how people drive with a stick car.


This is only short shifting by less than 1000 RPM's look at the difference. He's still shifting kind of funky anyways, with a better driver he would pull more on that 5.0.

Also i don't think this 5.0 was full bolt on, still needs other things for it to be a true "full bolt on" car.

So that speedo view....it came from somewhere, AKA a camera blocking the entire cluster, so I had to try and drive from the HUD. A little quirky, but didn't miss any shifts, so all is good.
Thanks for checkin it out

Pretty sweet that a new Mustang is still the Corvette's main competition.



The two Z06's at the end was like two Monsters locking horns

Exactly, I like the competition.. Makes hot roddin fun..

100k for the new c7 zo6 sucks because only 5% of the public will get one if that.. Might as well be a Ferrari at this point...

The Ferrari still costs a couple hundred grand more. Not comparable pricewise.
