We invite more automobile enthusiasts to our news with a breathtaking drag race. As our followers will remember, Edmunds, one of YouTube’s prestigious automobile channels, brought two Mustangs together in a drag race last week. After that fierce race, carwow has signed a similar race this week. Carwow, which locked the screens with the drag races it organized, now brings the Mustang Shelby GT500 and Mustang CS850GT cars against each other. Let’s take a look at the cars before we move on to the race, which has very interesting results.
Both Mustangs are ambitious in the race…
The first participant of the race, the blue Mustang Shelby GT500, produces 760 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque with its 5.2-liter supercharger V8 engine. Although the rear-wheel drive car has a disadvantage against its rival with its 1900 kg weight, we can say that it is quite assertive. The UK price of the Shelby GT500 is stated as 125,000 pounds.
It can be very difficult to predict who will win in this race just by looking at the characteristics of the cars. Because both Mustangs are extremely powerful vehicles. However, we can say that the gray CS850GT has an advantage over its rival on paper. The car, which has been completely modified by the automobile company Clive Sutton, produces 859 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque with its 5-liter supercharger V8 engine. The car, which is rear-wheel drive like its rival, has a manual transmission. The market price of the CS850GT used in the race is £ 130 thousand.
Now it’s time for the race where these two strong rivals share their trump cards. In the first stage of the race (4:14), the take-off speeds of the two Mustangs are put to the test. In the second stage (5:22), the cars’ ability to accelerate while driving is competed. The third and final stage (6:23) includes the brake test. If you are ready, choose your favorite and let’s go to the race…
