I also heard a rev limiter in there, so I am guessing the vette missed a shift.
not a bad time.. but still a mustang.

Here is another one, that problem imo is that mustang is not that much of a lesser car anymore. This 5.0 is different. honestly it makes me a little sad that a mustang beats corvettes now stock for stock. Stock dyno numbers are 5.0 380rwhp 365rwt, Ls3 380-385 rwhp and 370-375 rwt. As you see the coyote is just as strong. Corvette has a weight advantage and aerodynamically better but 5.0 has optional 3 73 gears so looks like a drivers race to me. And I'm not even comparing LS1,LS2 but the mighty ls3 engine. I really hope that C7 will receive something around 450-475at the crank at least. Corvettes always have been way above mustangs and I wish it stayed this way.
It still might handle better but straight line performance is undeniably important as well.

At the end of the day it is still a Mustang and the Corvette is a Corvette. You sound like you would be just fine driving a Mustang.

They're getting some pretty good 1/4 mile times out of the new 5.0. Posting a video of a Mustang beating a Corvette will not bode well with some on this forum. You have to remember that the Corvette is God's gift to the performance car world.
