Not a huge surprise, but interesting to see.
Corvette with >1000hp, and 600ish pounds more than the Porsche. Porsche, least power, and least weight. Mustang - HUGE weight. At one point in the video, they say that the Mustang's weight is closer to the weight of a Ford F150 than it is to the Porsche. I hope they put that thing on a diet when it goes racing. I'm assuming that the Corvette won't be racing with a twin turbo 1000+hp motor. I'd certainly drive all 3 if someone tossed me the keys, but I imagine that I wouldn't spend much time in the mustang, but probably would spend a fair amount of time in the Porsche and the 'vette.

Pretty impressive video. I'm sure the editor looked at the storyboards and went "huh?"
I kind of feel sorry for the (last place finisher), because a lot of engineering went into that car to finish a distant third, but I was happy to see the (first place finisher) finish on top.

Another awesome Camisa video. Hagerty is knocking it out of the park with their content.
It makes you wonder how they invested so much money into the Mustang but managed to make it so damn heavy. Also makes you wonder why anybody would spend a premium for a Mustang designed to be a track weapon that is slower than the cheaper 911 and Corvette?

Most buyers of this cars don't even go to the track.
This 3 cars are stupidly fast and extremely dangerous in the untrained hands. This cars are undrivable and not fun in the Massachusetts 3rd world roads. Their track capabilities and suspension setup it's their weakness in public roads. Maybe in sunny Florida or Texas where roads are smooth??? If you really want a track weapon off the show room. Buy a Radical.

As an American, I am very happy to see Corvette finally make a real truly fast car, and the interior is nice as well.
They need to use the 911 GT2 RS in that test to get closer to the HP of the Vette. https://www.hotcars.com/everything-we-know-2026-porsche-911-gt2-rs/

Great video, Cammisa's videos are some of the best on the Hagerty channel.

Well, that was fun...not a thing practical about any of the three...and unlikely anybody here will buy one. But how glorious!
