sounds like the same old story... "your mileage may vary"  ;D

If anyone puts either one of those rides in my garage, I'll happily drive it all over  8)

The Shelby is faster. Period
The vette is cheaper. Period.

You get what you pay for.

For the record,... My Hommie D.W. ran a 9.1 in a prepped 2020 GT500.

Agreed. The trap speeds tell the tale of a whole lot more HP in the Ford.

For the time being, the Ford is king of the...road.  Hey, that has a good sound to it!

But: I do like the idea of a mid-engined Corvette with much more power still to come. 

Ford or Chevy...it is a good era to be a performance car guy.  (Get 'em before it's all hybrid/electric.)

Let's pray he doesn't come to far south with that over priced behemoth because we have several street stangs at or below 9s
