OP that is an old video and not representative of a drivers race between both cars. Its well understood that the Mustang is the faster straight line car and the Camaro is the better handling car. Nothing new.

The zl1 driver didn't bring his A game, didn't even heat up the tires. Mustang driver looked like he knew what he was doing. Shelby's are no joke, you need to bring an A game.

GT500 is an awesome car. Just can't turn very well. And the interior.....dreadful.

?? Come on!! The ZL1 driver wasn't that bad! Geez. A lot of these races quite clearly show a bad start, but defaulting to a "it wasn't the car, the driver goofed" excuse is quite pathetic in this case.

Why is it when 2 cars are that are compared you hear this.
It's faster in a straight line, but (insert brand) handles better in the twisties.
One has to win, it's mono e mono.

Not only is it faster in a straight line, will dominate on corners.

Most come with top suspension, on m3 level.

Face the fact the gt500 is faster & handles better.

Personally not a fan of mustangs, bit this one can go 200+.

Find me one comparison where a gt500 out handles a ZL1 . BTW they are both 200 mph cars. In a straight line is where the 13 gt500 shines but that would be where the buck stops.

Not sure what you have been reading or hearing, but the GT500 does NOT out-handle the ZL1.

You need to get your "facts" straight.
