A C6 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 chews up a 5.0L Ford Mustang on the quarter mile and runs a low 11-second elapsed time.This week"s Drag Race Monday video features a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 taking on what appears to be a 2015 or newer Ford Mustang GT. In stock form, a well driven C6 Corvette Z06 can get into the high tens with its 505hp LS7 V8, but GM claims that a stock 2008 Corvette Z06 should run around an 11.70. There is no mention of what modifications this Corvette has, but based on how hard it rips out of the hole with a 1.6 second 60 foot time we would guess that it at least has some good, sticky tires.A stock Ford Mustang GT from 2015-2017 with the 435hp Coyote V8 is generally capable of quarter mile times in the mid 12-second range when well driven, so based strictly on specs, the Corvette has a big advantage, but reported times don"t always guarantee a certain outcome.In this case, the results are roughly what you might expect, but in crushing this Ford Mustang, the C6 Z06 lays down an impressive quarter mile time. We don"t get to see a time slip, but the big board reads an 11.236 at 125 miles per hour after the 1.6 short time for the Atomic Orange Metallic Corvette. Provided that this is a near-stock car, that is an impressive time and even with some light modifications this Corvette gets down the drag strip in a serious hurry.We don"t get to see the quarter mile time for the Mustang, but with the Corvette putting several bus lengths on this pony car, the Ford was likely somewhere in the low 12-second range.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
