Hey guys, just posted this today. I had a C8 Corvette press car awhile back and I shot some video with my Ford GT, plus was able to get a clean drag race between the two, shot by drone. The video includes a discussion of each car's specs and why the Ford GT costs 10 times more than the latest 'Vette.

If you're board...

Ha well done!!! I watched the whole thing (I rarely do)! I still have ZERO interest in a C8 corvette, I dont care how fast it is.

Thanks for sharing!

It would be fun to watch a road race of the GT and Vette

Love C7's.

Can't stand the sight of C8's. I don't like ugly cars.

edit: much respect for the new Z06 4 cam engine.

Are you sure you are a journalist? I might be "bored" by it, but stiff as a board, probably not.

Well done!

But contextually, much bigger than a comparable 0-60 time, I'd have to add a key element to the Ford GT credential - that the Ford GT is a direct descendant to the 2016 LeMans race winner. The race version of the Corvette C8, cannot make that claim, even remotely.

And these days. it seems every electric vehicle entering the market place is (laughingly) using 0-60 as the 'equivalency factor' in trying to convert ICE buyers. Well, there is more to a story than that.
