Edmunds U-Drags: 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Spanks 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing!

Turn the sound up for this one.

  • The 2020 Shelby GT500 and 2022 CT5-V Blackwing tackle Edmunds' unique U-Drags battle course.

  • A combined 1,400+ horsepower produced some rather smoky starts.

  • Immense GT500 muscle proved too much for the Blackwing to overcome.

Power reigns supreme in drag racing, and that proved to be the case in the latest Edmunds U-Drags battle between the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

These American all-stars and their supercharged V8 engines rumbled to blistering times in Edmunds' unique head-to-head race format. Two times in a row, switching drivers for fairness, the GT500 and the Blackwing rocketed down the initial straightaway into the tight U-turn and duked it out in a rolling drag race back to where they started. There was one clear winner at the end.
