The Ford Shelby GT500 and BMW M4 go head-to-head in our latest video in our U-Drag series. In this drag race video, Ryan ZumMallen is back on the track with two powerful muscle cars: the 2022 Ford Shelby GT500 and the 2022 BMW M4. Which of these muscle cars has the quickest drag race time and the most horsepower? Is the Shelby GT500's top speed higher than the M4's? Ryan covers all of these questions and more in the fourth video in our new series we dubbed "U-Drags." It's a battle of American muscle vs. German muscle in today's drag race of the Ford Shelby GT500 vs. BMW M4.

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.

    Some insane numbers in this one! Which statistic stands out to you? Let us know below, and check out the full article here: edmu.in/3JUzaUV

    I'd start with the Porsche line up, start with a base 911 and work up from there to see how much Porsche you gotta buy to beat the Shelby. Keep up the good work, love these races. Just wish they were longer.
  • @k.b.8912
    This is actually a really cool way to compare two cars performance. Race from a dig, hard on the brakes into a long hard corner, acceleration out of a corner into essentially a roll race. What a great idea, love it, gives you an overall feel for the vehicles performance.
  • @Samfamson
    First run m4 really did brake like he’s about to stop at a traffic light … Broke early and slowly compared to gt500 broke at the last second … Anyway great structure on these u turns Much more fun than boring old 1/4 miles . .. great job Edmunds 👍
  • Why did it take 100 years to figure out this is a superior way to test cars?
  • @hching6248
    Great track design! Really shows total performance of the cars and not just 0 to 60 or quarter mile
  • I love the Race. Everyone is doing 1/4 mile runs, 100 to 200 runs, rolling races. This is something new and interesting.
  • @Z06C5
    760 vs 500. Not hard to figure that one out. Come on new Z06! Great video!
  • @RyanZumMallen
    Really wish you all could’ve seen this one in person — it was STUNNING to witness up close. Our two fastest times yet!
  • @heyzooz
    This setup is awesome! I have to go back and watch the others. Just subscribed. Keep 'em coming!
  • @yusufgta4341
    This shows how far the American cars have come in terms of handling. Also, this shows how far the mustang has come!! This shows how well the Shelby GT500 handles!
  • @tkostang
    Honestly this should become a thing in the US. I’d go watch a U-DRAGS NO PREP COMPETITION….. just seems like so many things could go wrong. Translation: TONS OF FUN
  • This race format is a brilliant idea. So much data from one run, it’s awesome.
  • @TinoushGTR
    Absolutely naild it. You guys have the best "what car is faster test" in whole YouTube. Cars don't go only straight.
  • @suicidekings2
    Did you replace the tires on the GT500? that is a base model not CFTP and the base came with Michelin pilot sport 4 not the cup 2's. Cup 2's came on the CFTP cars.
  • @johnt2880
    Some positive feedback. Absolutely love the idea of the U drag. Great content
  • @pkradgreek
    Great stuff, love the concept. Keep it up. Wouldn't mind seeing all levels of sporty cars competing from Hot hatches to hyper cars.
  • So far best method of seeing a cars potential!!! Love this subscribed Forsure !
