The Ford Shelby GT500 and the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing go head-to-head in our U-Drag series. In this drag race video, Ryan ZumMallen from Edmunds heads back to the track with the 2022 CT5-V Blackwing from our first drag race, and this time he has brought along our very own 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Will the CT5-V Blackwing have enough horsepower to take down our powerful Shelby GT500? What are the Shelby GT500 and CT5-V's 0-60 times and top speed? Ryan covers all of these questions and more in the second video in our new series we dubbed "U-Drags." It's the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 vs. 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

I think you guys are onto something with this format. Much more interesting than your standard drag race.

Man I love these videos! Too bad I found them so early, I want to have at least 100 to binge

[letsgobrandon]

Honestly, this is an ideal test medium for cars. As a car enthusiast, I'm so glad we are FINALLY moving beyond the 0-60 and quarter mile times.

This was cool as hell to watch! Definitely a lot more interesting than just a drag race!!

I love how you guys switch drivers which gives us more accurate results. Good job guys 👍

[Bigs]

These U-Drag races are awesome! Well done.

[JamesAMG]

That Mustang is brutal fast, but you guys really need to get your hands on the 10spd CT5 Blackwing to make it a bit more fair for the CT5BW.

These races are an absolute blast to watch. That GT500 is a MONSTER

[adrinz]

Ct5-v looks pretty damn good. Gm did a great job!

[kevinnorwood]

It's tough to beat that Mustang once it hooks up on the rolling race in the price range it's tough to beat.

U drag the best thing in car review channels right now. Awesome!

[kingkontinuum]

Please do more of these! It’s like watching an action/racing movie. A million times more captivating and compelling than a standard drag race and their results.

Y'all might be on to something with this! Wasn't expecting to see that big of a gap. Would love to see the automatic Blackwing in this race.

[chaleowin]

That is a great concept of a race. Showcases multiple aspects of racing in a short format race.

That was pretty cool, the sound coming outta those pipes, was music to my ears!! Gotta love the Shelby GT500!!

[officialyasir]

I would love to see even non performance cars do this U-drag race

[ramondaniel]

These videos should have a huge following. The U race is unique concept. The leaderboard is at the end is also a big plus. Can't wait to see the next episode.

[tavitkazanjian]

Great video. Sad to see the Caddy lose, would’ve been a better match if the caddy had the quicker shifting 10 speed auto. Keep these videos coming. We love them!

[IMAX]

I'd like to see the automatic Blackwing compete. I understand the manual is more fun.

[MidwestMotor]
