M8/M850's do not mess with the new Shelby GT500
Go to 4:30 and see why...wow!
Have no idea if both cars are stock

Quick answer is that the Shelby is nowhere close to stock
Prepped track is one thing, street another...M8 will win from a stop but these cars are very fast. |

We also don't know if the turbo s was either but it's trap speed seemed to indicate may be. Remarkable thing was even after giant initial lead by the turbo, the Shelby easily reeled it in. 150 mph trap is incredibly fast even for a modded street car.

its definitely modded--- there are other videos with the GT500 going stock to stock against the M8 CE Coupe and the M8 beats it off the dig (duh) and wins the quarter but loses the rolling race of course as hp and weight are keys here. The Porsche is not stock either of course.
A more relevant race

My point is modding the ~$80k Shelby unleashes a real monster that seems to annihilate most other challengers. The fact it reeled in that potentially modded turbo s after it had such a commanding lead was beyond impressive. It's also America's version of the M8C and vice versa. We should all be proud the USA is still making these kinds of cars. Personally I can't wait for the new naturally aspirated flat plane crank C8 ZO6.

The Turbo S is a 991.2 and no chance it traps 138 stock. And since the masses dont modify I like our M8's (or mine) on the street and light line ups all day. My exhaust does need work LOL.

I too have no regrets getting my M850 and it being 100% stock (it's plenty fast) as I've grown beyond the need for stupid fast, been there done that on land, sea, and air. I will seriously look into the C8 ZO6 HTC because I like the way it looks in/out and luv the idea of having a 600+hp NA FPC V8. We are all very, very blessed here

I am tempted to send my R8 to UGR--- but I too, dont think I need more hp to go further. But I love my N/A V10 in the same regard as your consideration for the C8 Z. If you want to know more about that exact GT500 you can see it here, impressive but also heavily modded to get that extra 10-12 mph in trap speed in the quarter (requires quite a bit more hp) plus other changes. BTW it now traps 155 LOL

That Mustang is a helluva car—really, I like it a lot—but the context here implies or tries to ignore the obvious mods—as others have said, it's heavily mod'd. Now here's a reasonably well mod'd luxo-barg on the street. Consider it with race gas and a prep'd surface and better tires... who knows; Mike never tried because he was happy with this result (understandably so). In addition, let's reverse the scenario with the Mustang on the street, etc. and the M5 at the track... very different results. Again, love the Mustang but these numbers—while great—aren't that unusual these days. Granted, though, the base price is appealing but how much were the mods? |

Its not just about stock vs stock but also modded vs modded. The drag race is a no brainer for the M8, but from a roll the GT500 will dominate. The last run was perhaps the most even launch and the traps tell the story, although I've gotta say 126.6 mph for an M8 is a bit disappointing, and 132.9 might evn t a bit off for the GT500. Perhaps to S FL humidity was the culprit

Just unfortunate that almost all comparisons mention the big price differential when in reality the difference is rather slim between a marked-up Shelby and discounted M8 |
