In this epic showdown, carwow's Matt Watson brings us a nail-biting drag race between two automotive titans: the Corvette Z06 and the third-generation Ford GT. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, because this battle is about to get intense!

First up, we have the Corvette Z06, a beast of a car with a 5.5L naturally aspirated V8 engine generating a whopping 670 horsepower and 625 Nm of torque. This American muscle machine weighs in at 1,585 kg and starts at a cool £83,000. But hold on to your seats, because the Ford GT is about to make its grand entrance.

Designed by the legendary Camilo Pardo, the man behind the second-generation Ford GT, this beauty boasts a 3.5L V6 engine with twin turbos, delivering 650 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 750 Nm of torque. Weighing in at a svelte 1,385 kg, this track-focused marvel starts at £430,000, but the one in the video is a special edition, priced at £550,000.

As the race commences, the Corvette takes an early lead, but the Ford GT is hot on its tail. The two cars cross the finish line with a quarter-mile time of 11.2 seconds, proving that they are evenly matched in terms of speed. But the battle is far from over.

Next up is the rolling race, where the Ford GT takes the lead, leaving the Corvette struggling to catch up. With its turbo lag, the Ford GT's acceleration takes a bit of time to kick in, but once it does, it's a force to be reckoned with. The Ford GT wins this round, leveling the playing field.

But wait, there's more! The final challenge is the brake test, where the cars must come to a full emergency stop from 100 mph. And it's the Ford GT that emerges victorious, stopping in a shorter distance and securing its place as the ultimate winner of this epic battle.

In the end, both cars prove their worth, showcasing their power, speed, and agility. It's a testament to American engineering at its finest. So, whether you're a Ford fan or a GM enthusiast, one thing is for certain: this race has left us all in awe of these incredible machines.
