Shelby GT500 Crushes Camaro SS! – Drag Race Showdown
admin
When we first pitted the Camaro SS against the Mustang GT, Ford fans complained it was an unfair race given the horsepower disparity. But now Ford has tipped the scale way back in it’s advantage with the top of the line supercharged snake, the GT500. We head to the drag strip to see how the underdog Chevy stacks up.

04EP3Hatch | June 17, 2010leave it to the ford guys to bitch about the GT and the SS being an unfair race. just because ford needed to supercharge a mustang to make it more powerfull than an natural aspiration camaro then the ford guys cry. Ford FINALLY got smart and made an all motor engine powerfull, but it require’s 4 cams and 4x variable valve and cam timing… WHILE the camaro still uses stone age pushrod technology??? and the camaro still has 13 more whp. and 50K vs 33K??? HAHAHA I cant just stop laughing FORD=FAIL
@wrestler4life1000 no shit i was saying they paid it off
david053092 | June 17, 2010@wrestler4life1000 no shit i was saying they paid it off then the money they payed off went towards their loses for the certain period during which they paid like last i’ve heard they had a 1.3 billion dollar lose last quarter. so in otherwards paid it off so they would not owe money to the gov’t but still cant pay the money. now do you understand since i had to spell it out for you “dumbfuck”
@04EP3Hatch the reason they make more is the damn motor
david053092 | June 17, 2010@04EP3Hatch the reason they make more is the damn motor is 6.2L and the mustang is only a 5.0L

I need someone to show me a $33k camaro.. around
KlrStng | June 17, 2010I need someone to show me a $33k camaro.. around here they STILL go for $37k for the SS and $40-42k for the 2SS. At air time of this vid, there was about a $10k difference from the GT to the SS.. Irrelevant now since the 2011 GTs are out and for $5-$10k less than the street price of an SS it still blows it away..
Smoked by the Mustang...Who the heck is surprised? Not I

Oh yeah, the wimpy lil Fordie Shell, costing waay more,
MortalRon08 | June 18, 2010Oh yeah, the wimpy lil Fordie Shell, costing waay more, tacks on all kinds of extras to stand up to the still mighty normal Camaro to edge out a minor win…Lol
@1vdn992 I Dunno, VIR isnt exactly the best track to
Kingkeeper | June 18, 2010@1vdn992 I Dunno, VIR isnt exactly the best track to use in an argument :/ (Not with a car real enthusiast anyways) how about say a real track? the ones that prove what a car is REALLY capable of, quit playing with little tracks, Nürburgring Nordschleife look that up, Thats where Cars are made or broken. You give me a Gt500 Shelby with a decent time on that? we’ll talk, until then… Camaro!
The CTSV Ran a unexpected 7:59.32 and to argue your VIR comment? Drivers Drivers Drivers

come back though, im enjoying myself.

Kingkeeper | June 18, 2010@david053092
Shallow only points to one thing, Perfection. Yes, i only except the finest. 100% all the way, if it doesnt look as good as it performs? Not worth my time or money. So… Shallow? i guess can live with that
@04EP3Hatch :D

@1vdn992 Now there's a comment from someone that has clearly
idiotfieldmouse | June 18, 2010@1vdn992 Now there’s a comment from someone that has clearly never done any form of racing other than in a straight line. To beat a Z06 around that particular track adding power is the last thing the gt500 needs. It can’t even manage its current power levels that well. It would need a stickier set of tires, some stiffer suspension and and a stiffer front sway bar to keep that SRA in check. Then it would be a close race. Adding HP to a car that tends to be tail happy as it is = fail
the ss put up a good fight considering its naturaly
hamdanae | June 18, 2010the ss put up a good fight considering its naturaly aspirated 114 horse power less and less tourqe, while the shelby is supercharge boosted which raise many questions, does the shelby realy worth 50k dollars?!
@hamdanae If you ever drove one you would know that
Feason87 | June 18, 2010@hamdanae If you ever drove one you would know that it absolutely is… FYI the new 2011 mustang gt which is considerably less then the Camaro ss beats the crap out of it in every category.
2011 Ford Mustang GT will beat the SS also. so
sycopath417 | June 18, 20102011 Ford Mustang GT will beat the SS also. so yeah lol
this is bull. first off, the ss IS, i repeat,
acdcdave1387 | June 18, 2010this is bull. first off, the ss IS, i repeat, IS, on the same scale as the mustang gt. the mustang gt just fails because of ford lacking a powerful motor. though, in 2011 this will change dramatically as ford has introduced a motor on par with the ss’s power rating and the ford is lighter. as for this gt500 versus ss crap, its all bull, because the gt500 is not on par at all with the camaro. the gt500 is more of a competitor with the viper and vette. i like both ford and chevy…and dodge sorta
@idiotfieldmouse Is that right. Virginia International Raceway is a
1vdn992 | June 18, 2010@idiotfieldmouse Is that right. Virginia International Raceway is a 4.1 mile road course, and takes approximately 3+ mins to complete the circuit.
As it stands the 2011 Shelby GT500 SVT ran a lap time of
11. Shelby Mustang Cobra GT500 2:58.48
And the C6 ZO6 ran a lap time of
10. Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2:58.2
or 0.28s quicker around this course, and you don’t think another 90 hp for $700 added to this much faster Mustang will shave a 1/4 of a second off a 2:58.48 lap time

Okay first of all the shelby is 50 grand and
bubblegum930 | June 18, 2010Okay first of all the shelby is 50 grand and the camaro is 33g….
with the 17g in mods added to the camaro the shelby would have no chance at all.
with 17 grand the camaro could get over 300 more hp which would stomp the shit out of the shelby….
I WISH YOU BLUE OVAL BITCHES WOULD ADMIT THAT FORDS SUCK!
thats funny the stock ss camaro beats the supercharged mustang
Kris7758 | June 18, 2010thats funny the stock ss camaro beats the supercharged mustang gt 500 off the line but then the supercharged mustang catches up and wins.
@1vdn992 It all comes down to the driver. If you've
idiotfieldmouse | June 18, 2010@1vdn992 It all comes down to the driver. If you’ve ever been on a road course behind a bone stock GT500 you would know exactly how tail happy they are…even with a skilled driver being gentle on the throttle is key in those things when exiting a turn. More power is not always the key. Like I said, around that particular type of course…all the GT500 would need is some stickier tires and suspension upgrades and it would be a good race.
@bubblegum930 if you would know the gt500 looks better and
Srnismo20det | June 18, 2010@bubblegum930 if you would know the gt500 looks better and is much safer to drive on the street than any other car in the country
