Twin-Turbo C8 Corvette, Shelby GT500 Race

This is an interesting matchup.

In stock form, a race between a modern Shelby GT500 and C8 Corvette would be pretty exciting. While some might think the muscle car has an edge on the drag strip, the new Corvettes have proven themselves to not be pushovers by any stretch.

Watch a car thief fail spectacularly here.

Among enthusiasts, not everyone is a fan of forced induction, so this drag race between a twin-turbo C8 Corvette and a twin-turbo Shelby GT500 is going to make some people mad. The fact there’s a big debate about which is best, turbos or superchargers, only further complicates things since the GT500 from the factory comes with a blower. Yet here we are, both modern performance giants modified with a pair of exhaust-driven snails for a really interesting matchup.
