Ford Mustang Dark Horse vs. Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing: The Edmunds U-Drags Battle

Edmunds12-06-2025
This is one of our closest matchups yet. If you want an American performance car between $75,000 and $80,000, your options are relatively few. There is, of course, the Chevy Corvette, but if you need room for more than two people, the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and Ford Mustang Dark Horse are your only options.
The Cadillac uses a twin-turbocharged V6 with 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic gearbox. It weighs a touch less than the Ford, coming in at 3,894 pounds compared to the 'Stang's 4,016 pounds. However, the Ford's 500-hp V8 means, despite the extra heft, it still has a better power-to-weight ratio, but just barely.
Both cars have automatic transmissions, they both use rear-wheel drive and they're both as American as apple pie. But there can only be one winner. Who's it gonna be? Watch above to find out.

Why Garret Motion Stock Triumphed on Thursday

Key Points Management's raised guidance for the entirety of 2025 didn't hurt, either. It increased its forecasts for both sales and headline net income. 10 stocks we like better than Garrett Motion › The stop lights were green for automotive technology company Garrett Motion (NASDAQ: GTX) on Thursday at least as far as its stock was concerned. Investors bid Garrett up by more than 3% that day, due mainly to its encouraging set of quarterly earnings figures. That rise was notably higher than that of the S&P 500 index, which crawled less than 0.1% higher. An accelerating bottom line Garrett's second-quarter results, published Thursday morning, featured rises in key metrics. The company's net sales didn't exactly boom, but they did increase almost 3% year over year to $913 million. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income rose more strongly, advancing by nearly 36% to $87 million. On a non-GAAP (adjusted), per-share basis, the bottom line grew by 48% to $0.43. Although the consensus analyst estimate was $918 million, Garrett crushed the adjusted bottom-line pundit forecast of $0.42. In the earnings release, Garrett attributed its improvements to broad gains in a number of cutting-edge product segments. It quoted CEO Olivier Rabiller as saying the company "reinforced our leadership in turbocharging, by securing awards for more than $1 billion in light vehicle program extensions while continuing to advance our zero-emission technologies, achieving new milestones in our e-powertrain, e-cooling, and fuel cell programs." Turbocharged guidance Garrett clearly believes the positive momentum will continue, as it raised both its top-line and profitability guidance for the entirety of 2025. The company is now projecting that net sales will come in at $3.4 billion to $3.6 billion (previous guidance: $3.3 billion to $3.5 billion). GAAP net income should be $233 million to $278 million, up from the former estimate of $209 million to $254 million. Should you invest $1,000 in Garrett Motion right now?

Why the speed limit on stretch of I-74 near Peoria has changed

Drivers traveling on Interstate 74 near Peoria will notice that the speed limit now remains 55 mph for about a mile longer. A speed limit interchange, one which dictates a change from 55 mph to 70 mph, on I-74 near the Pinecrest Drive interchange, has been moved one mile east, thus meaning there is a longer distance of interstate where the speed limit is 55 mph on I-74 between Peoria and Morton. The Illinois Department of Transportation told the Journal Star said this change was made because crash data showed a "disproportionate" number of accidents taking place due to wet pavement along the curve traveling westbound. The speed limit sign signaling a shift to 70 mph had previously been located on the curve. It is now about a mile farther east near the Pinecrest interchange. "By moving the 55 MPH speed limit one mile east, motorists will have more time to slow down prior to the curve. We are also evaluating additional potential improvements to reduce crashes in this area," IDOT said in a statement.
