- 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.
What is a U-Drag race?
A U-Drag race consists of both cars heading down the track like a standard drag race, then braking hard, flipping around and then heading back.

Which of these two American powerhouses would you take home? Let us know in the comments, and check out our full coverage here: edmu.in/3tnJj5o
I'd take the Ford, sell it, and buy an auto version of the CT5-V.
gt500 base or cftp you could offer me a super car like a huracan or tributo and gt500 gets around track in the same time or faster and you cant get a gt500 buy a whipple supercharger or turbos built motor and trans and have a 8 sec gt500 plus buy a truck and trailer to take it to track then buy s second gt500 but cftp toss a e85 tune on it smaller pulley exhaust and use it as my weekend roadcourse car and daily driver. you could get all of that for the money of 1 Ferrari f8 tributo or huracan evo. plus could a supercharger exhaust and tune for your v8 f150 tow rig and you can jave a 3rd vehicle to run 9s
I want them both, please. The Mustang for weekend joy rides. The Cadillac for daily driving.
@@MarkRenn I've always been a mustang fan but I much rather take the CT5V black wing home. The manual transmission takes it for me
@@ajyoussef2927 I despise manuals. I really don't understand the affinity some people have for them. They are slow and clunky. Literally every other type of transmission is more efficient.
I think you guys are onto something with this format. Much more interesting than your standard drag race.
Oh yea most definitely!
Yeah it is, because the more powerful at is not always gonna win! 🙌🏽
Love this!!
Totally agree. This is a great format.
It definitely gives you more real world scenario. A lot of time when i’m out there having fun i’m usually starting from a roll
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.
The average owner is NEVER gonna do a quarter mile race so 0-60 times is all that really matter unless your gonna track your car. The blackwing still has MORE torque.
Mustang would've GOTTEN smoked if the caddy wasn't a manual and they actually properly activated the V performance instead of racing in tour mode. haha
BTW Now if we can just get the Average American to disconnect their cable services and turn off social media for a couple months everyone will stop being brainwashed with politics. LOL. I've had no TV for 5 years now and it feels so amazing. BTW who's brandon? 🤷♂🤣
@@EliteOnTheBeat gt500 is just a really old design so ye
Cars are about personal preference. Barely anybody does quarter mile , races on street or takes their car to the track .
Lets not get carried away those are still the staples but for sure this is fun too. But the turn can be easily botched by the driver even if they swap. This was cool.
@@EliteOnTheBeat yea the brandon boy georges who want mussallani are vomit ppl. 😂😂😂
This was cool as hell to watch! Definitely a lot more interesting than just a drag race!!
Everyone does the drag race! Finally good to see something way more applicable to real performance. This is where you will see all the Hellcat fails!
Mr Shelby is looking down with a big ass smile on his face thanks to the 2020 GT500 😎🐎
Man I love these videos! Too bad I found them so early, I want to have at least 100 to binge
There's already so many channels that do these. I do sure though, need more like this, with this type.
I love how you guys switch drivers which gives us more accurate results. Good job guys 👍
Yes, it's that what is the 'icing on the cake', resolves many questions we may have.
These U-Drag races are awesome! Well done.
Agreed. Simple concept. Whoever came up with this needs a bonus!
Now i will join the u drag heritage.
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.
It’s a four door vs a two door it won’t be fair plus the stand has more power
@@joshuamorris9050 the fact that it has 4 doors is irrelevant, the weight difference is within 100 lbs. The GM 10-speed would have helped considerably, since the ZL1 10-speed keeps up with the GT500 through the 1/4 mile despite the 110 horsepower deficit. Would it win here? Probably not, but it would've been a hell of a race.
@@cp-the-nerd four door’s absolutely means something they are heavier than just about all two door cars and less handling capabilities hence why there are different race classes
@@joshuamorris9050 read what I said, dingaling. You are incorrect.
@@cp-the-nerdZL1 weighs less so obviously, and it does not keep up. Beats by 3 cars.
These races are an absolute blast to watch. That GT500 is a MONSTER
@MICHAEL KING the Camaro doesn't. The zr 1 is not a musclecar i
@MICHAEL KING first off the ZL1 is only faster around a track in a drag race it would get gapped and the zr1 is a borderline super car the mustang is a pony car, need to learn how to properly compare cars
Top of the line automatic Pony car with more power against a Cadillac 4 door luxury/ sport sedan with a old school manual ?
Dude, The LaC, made an excellent showing for what it is,
I would prefer the Caddy.
@@MrGreenelight to each his own. I am indeed agreeing with you that it wasn't a fair fight at all. And yes the zl 1 would be more difficult, but in the end it would get its ass fcked by gt500. Randy Pobst said that the only reason a zl 1 (with track package) is slightly faster around a narrow track than a GT 500 is bc of its tires.
Monster trash
Ct5-v looks pretty damn good. Gm did a great job!
And they had the cojones to leave a manual in it! I want one!
@@johnsheetz6639 Better get in line my friend because UNLIKE the mustang they ONLY make 250 of these blackwings a year (in all colors).
@@EliteOnTheBeat leave it to G.M. 😔..
.
I even really like the CT5-V with the twin turbo V6!
@@yamahaguy1732 that's the CT4-V Blackwing
It's tough to beat that Mustang once it hooks up on the rolling race in the price range it's tough to beat.
Love the Shelby GT500
You have to admit though, for a 4 door car with 100hp less, narrower tires, and a manual, the Cadillac actually held up pretty well
@@saltyfloridaman7163 of course it did.
I would love to see even non performance cars do this U-drag race
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.
U drag the best thing in car review channels right now. Awesome!
1.11G for the base GT500, and it's not even the best handling GT500. That Predator is just a beast of an engine.
Exactly it’s not even the full track package with the carbon wheels and sport cup 2’s
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.
There’s still gonna be 100bhp difference. 🤷🏽♂️
@@dennissmith7214 true, but the auto shifts faster. I still would like to see it.
@@dennissmith7214 same could be said between the blackwing and c8
Considering the pricing of these fantastic cars and future values. Give me the GT500 hands down.
@@DWH300 you're not thinking about that the V is the last year that it will see a gas engine. Collector value will be through the roof later on
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!!
I absolutely love that GT500, but that Cadillac has a manual!! And for that it wins!
Really digging the U-Drags. Thank you guys!
Man you guys are frikin awesome!!! I absolutely love this type of race! PLEASE keep doing these! Thank you! 🏁 🏁 🏁 🏁 🏁 🏁 🏁 🏁
I wonder just how close they would have been with a 10 speed auto on the Blackwing.
U-Drags are amazingly fun to watch. Keep doing your thing!
This format is spot on great 👍, not a typical drag race, love it 💪💪
Love this style of racing
That Caddy was no slouch, but the GT500 just wants to put you in rearview, head off into the sunset and never look back. LoL
Love the U-turns and the swapping drivers to keep things honest. 😎👍
Agree.. a 4 door luxury car with a stick shift is a collectable car
So strange how Mustangs are slouches in acceleration, yet once they get rolling they kick butt. Guess they need to go mid engine! 😂
@@twothbeave
It's not strange at all. Everyone knows that Ford decided to protect the expensive DCT from too much off the line abuse since the car is more track oriented than strip.
@Live from the boot
Never said it was that. Lol.
You must be kidding to think I would pick a track car that goes through a tank of gas in 20 minutes and tires pretty quick too. It's a heavy pig as I've stated before. If you were an observant reader you'd a noticed that I defend the GT500's capabilities and stats against ignorant folks that like to sh*t on it because it's a Mustang. I see your not calling me out over any claims I've made about the Ford. What's up with that?
The caddy was a manual
I like these comparisons. They are a blast to watch!
Just as exciting as the previous videos. Keep them coming. Please...
The real hero is that ct5v. Incredible performance, considering its manual and has about a 100 horsepower deficit.
Time to get one of them c8 z06 cars up in here to knock the pony down
I'd like to see the automatic Blackwing compete. I understand the manual is more fun.
Same
True
Me too!
Wouldn't matter
I think the BW wins with the auto in the quarter but still loses the whole race. But the gt500 also has better tires and 100hp. They are very close in weight
Love these videos! Great personalities and great cars working on a great idea
We need more of these races….So Awesome!
Would definitely want to see this with a 10 speed BlackWing V
They developed the automatic to shift almost as good as a dual clutch, so I second this
I could watch these all day long keep them coming! Really cool idea makes the test so much more interesting
I think you're onto something with this heads up racing format. I'm digging it.
Love the race set up subbed just to see future races.
The ford performance gt500 for the win!!
Watching a GT500 makes me feel like a badass. Can’t imagine driving one
This should be the standard test for all super cars going forward! Love it!
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.
I really like this format, it better illustrates real world driving than a slalom or skidpad but keeps the raw power element in the drag.
I’m a lifelong Vette enthusiast and had a C8 but went to a Caddy for the first time because of the manual. The DCT is so fast, and I realize all the benefits, but there is nothing like shifting gears on your own.
They will never build a car like this again.
The Cadillac is for those who want a Corvette but have a family. It's a badass sedan
Kurt always gets the higher G in the turns, no matter which car he's driving.
Really loving this new take on drag racing. Hope it is here to stay
This new format is awesome!!!! Keep doing this instead of other stuff. Keep it coming
Again here, that manual had 0 chance against the GT500. 😆
That Shelby sounded like 760 thunders were having a brawl under the hood! What a machine!
What a great way to compare cars! Also great choice of cars to compare! Thanks
Loving the format. Keep it going.
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!
To be honest there’s a few guys who have swapped the 10 speed automatic into the GT 500 and it was faster than the stock seven speed dual clutch. You might be right
@@cantbsdavemaybe the old GT500? I couldn't find evidence of anyone swapping out the dct.
But it would be slower than the dct around the track tho. DCT is better around the track.
I’m loving u drags
Hey great race! Love the way you guys set this up and changing drivers for each car was a good idea as well. And no excessive jibber jabbering and trying to be funny for the viewers. Enjoyed that ty! 👍
Love it! I love that new drag race format!!
Shelby GT500 is a Beast!! I Love my Shelby GT500
I kind of expected the Cadillac to be a lot more competitive. Maybe even beat the Mustang. Just goes to show how much brute power that Mustang has.
Just incredible, this format outstanding
This was… refreshing. Keep this going 😎💯
Nothing but great comments! Keep up the great work…… as someone who has owned 16 Corvettes and currently own a C7 Z06….. I would love to see that GT 500 vs C7Z06…… I would think those 2 would be the ones to beat… Hellcats obviously have the power to run with those 2, but they don’t turn so well…. and of course the C8 Z down the road …. Thanks again for your videos!
The C7 Corvette Z06 would obliterate the mustang on this. It's one of the best handling cars in terms of pure mechanical grip that isn't aero influenced by track aero, so the low speed corner and braking section, along with the first straight would be in the Corvette's favor all day long
@@saltyfloridaman7163 And no one cares.
@@saltyfloridaman7163 it wouldn’t obliterate the GT500. However it could possibly squeak out a win by a car length.
No real surprise here. Both cars weigh basically the exact same so coming off the line the blackwing having more torque helps it intially. But then you factor in the shelby having about 100 more hp and a DCT with better tires you get that outcome
Well said!!🏆
Having more in Cadillac doesn't necessarily make it quicker off the line, the DCT factory parameters limit the power at lunch. DCT transmissions parameters limit at launch at times not always. Torque converters do have 60ft off the line because they don't parameter like DCT transmissions do. If the DCT is launched right, it will win every time. Remember, most people don't know how to launch a Shelby GT500.
@@yusufgta4341 exactly only owners can really lunch these easily. And still sometimes I fail at it .
This is great! The idea of a U drag invites a whole new race
This drag race format is so cool. Would love to see more of that.
That manual caddy did damn well for being at a power and transmission disadvantage
Love this idea! I’d really want to see how these cars stack up to an M3/M4 Competition.
The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing already beat the new BMW M5 CS on the race track, so I'd want to see this instead. I'd thing rhe M5 CS would beat it on the first half and the Cadillac would reel it in on the cornering and roll race section
A stock m4 is on par with a Mustang GT. Won't come anywhere close to the gt500
I mean, one is a dedicated sports car, the other is a four door family sedan. The fact that the Caddy did as well as it did against the GT500 is admirable.
I think so as well.
The caddy beat a c8 corvette in this same test.
@@jhb3711 Saw that. Pretty impressive. I like this track layout, but it seems to favor power over handling.
@@ganymede3141 definitely looking forward to more of these test but, you’re probably right.
Need to use the Caddy 10 speed auto, would be much closer.
Like this new ways for testing, it really put drivers and also the vehicle to the test.👍👏💪😎
Awesome format. Interesting to watch … keep up the great work. Love the gt500
Its crazy that the two door Mustang is heavier than the CT5 V BW. Love this comparison. Was it stated somewhere what tires are on each vehicle?
I believe there both stock tires so i guess whatever the manufacturer lists for stock.
The Cadillac: Front: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S with P275/35R19, rear: P305/30R19 sizes
The GT500: Michelin Pilot 4S with Front: P305/30R20, rear: P315/30R20 sizes.
Second tire option is Michelin Pilot Cup 2 compound
Well the one guy says that the Mustang has Cup 2's but I'm not sure. The CFTP comes with Cup 2's but not standard Shelby does not. Not sure if he made a mistake or if someone pit the Cup tires on after the originals.
NEXT RACE SHELBY GT500 VS C7 CORVETTE ZR1 I BET YOU GET CRAZY VIEWS THRU THE ROOF ON THIS ONE. AND U SHOULD DO AN EXTRA ROUND TOP SPEED OF THE 2
Then corvette vs ford gt!👍🏼
I totally love this format
Great format. Keep it up!
Kind of a foregone conclusion for this type of test. The Mustang weighs the same but has 100 more horsepower and has a dual clutch auto transmission instead of a manual.
Yes, but the Shelby has a breif lag off the line so it makes it interesting.
@@richardmodglin3900 I was puzzled by the driver using launch control at 1200 RPM, it would leave quicker just launching manually.
@Hwirt Wirt
Yes...but it takes some practice. I think he opted for the safest mode without over roasting off the line. I do believe that not all asphalt is equal, and some you'll find better traction on than others along with varying temperatures factored in. I too wanted him not to use launch control.
It’s a no brainer that the GT500 was going to win this battle. Faster, handles better, and automatic, but it’s interesting to see which person is the better driver, and the guy who had better lateral g’s both times in both cars is just the better driver overall.
Not an automatic, a dual clutch, which is similar but shifts a lot faster than both a conventional automatic and a manual
@@saltyfloridaman7163 dude, it shifts automatically for you, its an automatic.
There's a difference between a DCT and traditional torque converter automatic transmission tho.
@@CrimsonFlame01 it's still not technically an automatic, it may shift automatically but the overall transmission layout is very different
Yea pretty unfair race honestly I feel like the 10 speed CT5-V would've got the GT500 in the straight. Automatic vs manual isnt exactly fair (and yes it is an automatic idgaf if its dct or torque converter if it shifts for you its an automatic)
I just loved this race brilliant two fantastic cars great show mate thank you very much from Sydney Australia 😊
Wow I commented on the black wing versus C8 video that you should run to Shelby GT500 and boom here it is!! Totally awesome format I’m so glad you guys came up with it now if someone started building actual U drag tracks around the country they could print their own money😂👍🏽👍🏽
First! I pick Stang, if they can drive it !
Boom, Stang Wins! Wow, those 2 guys can DRIVE, baby. Props to them, I'm Impressed.
very good testing format, well done edmunds cars
This was very fun to watch. Guys just being guys. Love it
Man all I heard is the noise of the GT500! The blackwing sounded muted next to the Shelby.
Would like to see a Plaid Tesla run against the Taycan....
Plaid sedan against the Mustang GT 500!
No, you wouldn’t. Doesn’t matter what happens on the turn. The Plaid absolutely destroys the Taycan on straight road. Not a race.
@@christophermorales1509 They just want their fanboyism reaffirmed.
@@christophermorales1509 yea but the Tesla CANNOT brake at all lol
This is great. I expect all other content creators will copy this. Keep the series going!
amazing. first time noticing this channel. great job
Being a manual and about 100 hp down the Caddy did very well 🤙🏾
I wish y’all would try launching the Shelby without launch control. Practice with it and just brake boost it off the line without relying on the electronics which has the guaranteed delay.
I stumble into your channel and this new format U-Drag… very smart! love it! All in one, keep them videos coming! Suscribed to see more💪
Luv this format u-drags
Would love to see what a Tesla Model 3 Performance can do at U Drag
It would beat either of these.
The model 3 runs an 11.5 quarter mile. Other than getting out in front in the 0-60 the Shelby is faster in every way and better handling
@@ultrazls1 have you ever seen any track footage of a Model 3 Performance? They’re really good at putting down the power out of corners.
@@ToneNYC718 From someone that's used to driving a Toyota Prius.
Was not expecting Shelby to stomp Cadillac like that. I thought Cadillac would get off the line better and hold the lead longer or at least have the race be closer
Once the Shelby hooks it goes ballistic in short order.
Shelby has r-compounds and an automatic vs. Blackwing with summer tires and a manual. This is about what I would expect. Use the same trans and tires and it would be closer (but I'd think the Shelby still might have an edge?)
@Russell D. Ollie Sr.
True. Don't forget that Ford racing spent a lot of time working with suspension and handling for the GT500. This car came with the goods. It's matched a GT3 RS and beat a Hurican on a lightning lap.
I love that, Caddy, though! Quite the drivers car..... in style at that.
@@rdollie1 Shelby would still win. It has so much horsepower. Maybe have this Shelby go up against something that is AWD making about 660 horses
@@rdollie1 they aren't R compounds...the base car (which is what the tester was) comes with Pilot Sport 4s tires, not the Sport Cup 2's. He was wrong in the video if the car is stock and the rubber wasn't changed.
I dig this format. Keep it up!
What an amazing idea/series. Hope you guys never terminate it
Needs to be evenly matched as far as auto to manual
It's comparing the cars as they come.. does the black wing come with a auto?
@@TheUsz28 of course it does
@@TheUsz28 10 speed to be exact
@@sstyreecarlover969 kind of figured but at the same time I'm not sure I'm not too much of a Chevy guy.
@@sstyreecarlover969 oh ok the same one that's in the 5.0 and the SS I figure.
How about gt500 vs zl1 or blackwing vs m5
Love U-Drags!!
I like this format !!
they weigh the same and somehow gt500 gets around tracks in the same times as the Ferrari F8 Tributo Lamborghini Huracan EVO and Porsche gt3rs
Yep. Facts!
Depends on the track, if its a tight track then it would struggle to hang with those supercars but Ford nailed it! S550 Mustang is a freakin success.
Go Ford!
Love this channel!
This is the absolutely The best way cars need to be raced!!!! Awesome guys!!!
the sound of the 500 ftw!! plus simple e85 tune exhuast pulley change you have a mid 9 sec ca t for less than 10k or go bigger and for 20k 30k they can run 8s in the 1/4 . watching can i be frank just watching how they give redeye the black eye and how just running with tc and sc off how much faster it is when they did yhe base vs csrbon fiber track pack
So same weight but the car with 100 extra hp AND an automatic wins? SHOCKING!!! How about you put that 500 against a ZR1 for a real race?
That’s what I’m saying!
Two seater sports car vs four seater muscle car....People need to stop comparing Mustangs to Corvettes. Compare it to the Camaro ZL1.
@SomeFerarriGuy we just seen a 2 dr and 4dr comparison and it was exciting i think the ZR1 will get it no problem
@@meanmugginj Of course it will it's a completely different class of car. And much more expensive.
The GT500 does have a better gearbox than the kinda sluggish 8 speed automatic transmission is the C7 ZR1. The 8 speed is holding the ZR1 back on nurburgring and many other tracks sadly.
My new favorite show!!🔥🔥.. both cars are amazing machines!!
Great video Edmunds cars that gt500 is something else . Content was great
I love this competition and "track" layout
