    I'm a Mustang guru, but I'm a fan of the C7 and may be leaning that way depending on what the new '15 Stang has to offer.

    Ive heard of a few C7's on the dyno and one made 400 rwhp and the other made 416 rwhp. Chevy claims the car traps 120 mph in the 1/4 which is pretty far off base of a C6Z. If my only 2 choices were the C7 or the 14 GT500 id go with the GT500.

    I actually just went through this as I ordered a 2014 GT500 over a C7 as the first new model years always have a bunch of quirks. (2005 Corvettes are notorious for having a ton of different issues aka 1st year of the C6) So I Decided against the GT500 and went with a C6Z and im so glad I did! I will keep this car for 2-3 years and get a C7Z probably the second year of their production.

    It didn't have anything that I could see, but I'm out of my element with the new ones. Mix it in with the bunch of 5.0's and other gt500's that have run 13-14's when weve been there also, lol

    They were 7 MPH apart with the same driver and same track in that video. That'll be a pretty embarrassing loss for the vette on the street should the two happen to meet up. I'm guessing the GT500 responds a lot better to bolt-ons too. Same as GT500 vs ZL1, GT500 wins in a straight line, and ZL1/C7 will win in the twisties.
