Modded 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Drag Races Corvette ZR1, Gap Is Massive

Pushing GT500s into four-figure output territory is a thing on social media these days, and the pony we have here is an example as good as any.

Nicknamed The Hulk and run by YouTuber StangMode, the GT500 has seen its supercharged 5.2-liter V8 being pushed from the factory rating of 760 to around 1,000 ponies - while you'll find the new 1/4-mile numbers of the machine in the clip below, its owner explains the best results using the factory setup brought a 10.6s run at 135 mph.

And, to put the power down, the machine now uses 18-inch rear wheels, with the meatier sidewalls of the tires providing better launches.

Following its trip to the gym (you'll see the owner listing the main mods at the 1:40 point of the video below), the GT500 aims to descend into the 9s quarter-mile arena. Of course, that's no easy feat, but the Ford duked it out with the Chevy in the process.

Speaking of which, this is a C7 ZR1 Convertible, which means it packs some extra weight. Unlike its opponent, though, the 'Vette came to the party in factory form (the custom forged wheel won't make a difference, at least not in this case). For the record, the Chevy's best quarter-mile time (prior to this battle) sat at 10.58 seconds, with a trap speed of 134 mph.

And you can see the two slabs of America battling (for the sheer fun of it) at the 8:27 timestamp.
