Which of these V8-powered American gladiators is your kind of muscle car, the Dodge Challenger Black Ghost or the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500? Let us know in the comments. And for everything U-Drags, be sure to visit our NEW webpage - edmunds.com/udrags

The GT500 (760 hp) beat the Challenger Black Ghost (807 hp), and the C8 Z06 (670 hp) beat the GT500. Lesson: power doesn't necessarily equate to performance.
-
props to dodge for making the slowest 800hp car on the market!
-
Massacre. This clip should be rated R.
-
The GT500 is amazing. I’m so glad Ford got away from the straight line only performance that the previous GT500’s had, and put some handling into the package…👍🏾👍🏾
-
Dodge is coming up with all type of new names, but same results 😆
-
This GT500 will be missed. It's put in so much work.
-
I really have to hand it to Dodge. It's very impressive how they manage to make so many variations of the same car without making a single good one. They are like the anti-porsche.
-
The boat couldn’t make a single turn ,it takes the Atlantic Ocean to turn 😂😂😂😂😂
-
Can you please do a mach1 handling pack vs SS 1le!!
-
You guys can't pump these U Drags out fast enough! This is one of my favorite automotive comparison tests on YouTube. Whoever came up with the idea, it's brilliant. I'd love to see an entire racing series built around this concept.
-
Those Shelby’s are insane- for the money they are legit
-
That challenger is disappointing honestly, the tires and weight of the challenger kill it. It just doesn't hook or grip and is shaped like a brick, a beautiful brick though
-
Yesterday I bought a 2019 manual Mustang GT. I love it. Still trying to figure out how to quickly accelerate from a dead stop. Muscle cars are something else!
-
The Challenger is a modern muscle car trying to become a sledge hammer while the GT500 is now a modern sports car trying to become a scalpel. Both beautiful rides but there was always going to be one clear winner here, the GT500.
-
The Challenger is, and will always be, legendary for the having the most power and still being the slowest among all of its competitors.
-
😢 Gonna miss that GT500!! I now view it as the standard here on U-drags that everything else is compared to. I love seeing how all the other cars fare against it. I think you guys should keep it for now! There are more cars to race against it such as a Camaro!
-
Crazy because the the shelby thats shown is the base shelby and not the one with the optional carbon fiber track package!
-
You guys won't understand how excited I get when these videos drop!🤸♂️
-
I’m gonna pause the video before the race and say the Shelby is going to annihilate the ghost… I wasn’t wrong.
