The mid-cycle revamp of the Ford Mustang has brought plenty of tech goodies, with the facelift now making the most out of the independent rear suspension. Then there's the straight-line punch, with the ten-speed automatic and the updated Coyote motor of the Mustang GT delivering a significant performance boost. And while those outside the aftermarket realm might see this as an argument in favor of leaving the car stock, modding aficionados will beg to differ.

Interestingly, the Z06 doesn't feature an auto tranny, being gifted with a six-speed manual.
The two monsters got together as part of a street racing night, with the results being stunning.
Those of you who wish to skip straight the Mustang vs 'Vette action mentioned above can head to the 9:39 point of the video. Then again, we recommend watching the entire clip, as this is packed with extreme machines doing what they do best.
