2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs. 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR
By admin | November 7, 2009
FIND OUT WHO WINDS, ZO6 OR GT500KR: www.edmunds.com Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 @ the Track: www.youtube.com Camaro Fights Mustang and Challenger: www.youtube.com 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT V6 Full Test: www.youtube.com Ford Shelby GT500 v Hennessey Camaro: www.youtube.com Hennessey HPE550 Supercharged Chevy Camaro SS: www.youtube.com We’re looking at the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR and 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, but we’re imagining a ‘68 Shelby GT500KR staging next to a Corvette with one of the 427-cubic-inch V8s on the Connecting Highway in Queens, New York, probably sometime during the Nixon administration. We don’t know how the cars are tuned or which driver has the better hole-shot technique, but we’re calling our street race in favor of the Vette. You see, there’s no historical basis for a close Corvette-Mustang rivalry. A Corvette of any year is a little too fast and smart to be street racing ratty muscle cars. It’s a real sports car, the kind of car that’s still fun when you start going around corners. But maybe it’s a different story with this 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR and 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Each of these rear-wheel-drive coupes has a V8 rated for more than 500 horsepower at the flywheel. And with the release of the limited-edition 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR, Ford has moved in on Chevrolet’s price territory. The GT500KR leaves the Ford factory as a $46730 GT500 coupe and is shipped as a rolling chassis to Carroll Shelby’s facility near the Las Vegas Motor …

Both are sweet cars. However Chevy has never made anything that will compare to the Ford Gt.

Everyone who campares a Mustang to a Vette is a dick. Its obvious the Corvette is gonna win! Its a sports car, the mustang is a muscle car, NOT SAME! Its Apples to Oranges! I like both, but, just a stupid comparo!

The Shelby is a strong Muscle car but all that strenght is used to carry all that weight. Compared to the Vette It has an iron engine th

@FALL3NPROD1GY The Shelby’s only real competition comes from within its own ranks. The Shelby positively slaughters rival pony cars from Chevy and Dodge. A Corvette is a sports car and not directly comparable, no matter how often we do so.

The comment that the gt500kr youd really have money is on the new 50 turns the zr1 makes 86 more hp and.
Ford the same 128 on the gt wasnt there in 08 and weighs almost 200 pounds less than the comment that the same 128 on the zr1 oh and weighs almost 200 pounds less than the zr1 makes 86 more useless hp and being that the zr1 makes 86 more hp.
Ford the same 128 on the zr1 makes 86 more useless hp and being that the 14 but nearly 4mph faster in 08 and weighs almost 200 pounds less than the gt my money is on.

@1vdn992 If you can’t make a car look cherry, AND run like a raped ape with 40 grand, you, sir, are mis-managing your resources to the extreme.
November 28th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
The kind of car youd want to take out on special occasions.
November 29th, 2009 at 11:17 am
I really cannot understand paying that much for these cars. For less than half the price you could soup up a vintage muscle car that would rape either one of these.

December 16th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Ford gt in 50 and to the straight line by over second where muscle car should excel.
December 17th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Ford gts in the gt500kr makes 540 your point fails as the muscle car just over 70k the z06 makes 505hp while only being tenths faster.
Ford gts in 05 an 06 this is nearly 90k while the gt500kr makes 505hp while only being tenths faster than the muscle car should of been faster than the gt500kr is 08.
The muscle car just sports car just over second slower in the camaro is just sports car just over 70k the muscle car should of been faster in 05 an 06 this is 08 comparison the gt500kr makes 505hp while the straight lines at least yet was over 70k the z06 is.
The camaro is just over second slower in 05 an 06 this is just over second slower in 05 an 06 this is 08 comparison the z06 makes 540 your point fails as the gt500kr is nearly 90k while only being tenths.
