No the ct4v is just that disappointing. I test drive one at Laguna seca for a Cadillac event. And this is coming from an ex camaro ss 1le owner I would take every opportunity to praise gm performance. My base 3.4L 911 with 350hp and no torque accelerates basically as fast as the ct4v black wing. The ct4v black wing gets outrun in a straight line by the m340i let alone anything with an s58. The ct4v is a nearly perfect car in every other way it just has a competley disappointing engine.

Our ATS-V'S have the LF4 engine like the 4 BW. $2500 in parts, e85, and a tune and you gain 200 whp. We have one making 630 whp and another making right at 700 whp. I bought both cars for the price of one BMW.

Not even close. Brutal

[@oscarmurillo8472]

I drove a ct4v blackwing and a is500, that Cadillac was quick, but felt so bland with that v6.. lexus felt just as fast, but wayyyyy funner to drive, actually made me feel something. Build quality on the lexus blows the Cadillac away in every way also.. but i always eanted to see a drag race between the two out of curiosity. They both make 472 hp That is500 is special for sure

[@SamCarLegion]

Ct4 bw all day everyday

[@oscarmurillo8472]

@@SamCarLegion mann, IDK. It'll be a close matchup for sure. Especially from a roll Either way, is500 is a way better car all around and funner to drive, better engine, also better looking imo. Id take that all day

M3 is too much 💪 for the Malibu

[@shariqahmed5637]

ROFL. Car and Driver must be conjuring up additional magic to further anoint the Black Wing as the holy grail of automotive engineering.

Freedom baby...

[@Sle3p520]

Very exciting matchup! Would like to see this M3 vs a gt350.

[@regal022]

M3 on drag race will pull away, same on anything below 60mph. Anything higher they basically stay the same. On track the M3 with cup tires will have an edge but that GT350 still a beast on a track.

[@zeekahlfevil]

Just a thought.. I know the size difference, I know they're not exactly in the same "class" but everyone who is in here talking about how the BMW is faster and has more power.... Lol at price points... Throw some sticky ties and a lil bolt on power to the caddy and the BMW is toast... Or put it up against the M2 that is actually in it's price point and watch the beemer boys cry... When a car is ~15k more expensive (depending on equipment) it's always going to out perform in some areas... But seriously let's get real, caddy guys will get the caddy, beemer boys will get the m3 good video guys really liked the content.

[@ernie8965]

Bmw it's more money but you get better engineering and quality 2

[@jsdaily3663]

The M3 owner DROVE HIS OWN CAR... he's familiar with it knows where the sweet spots are and when to shift it. Unlike what we witnessed with you and the CTS. Keep things on a level playing field

M3 was gonna win but yeah Sam isn't a good driver by any stretch. Gotta get the boy Randy to drive um both.

German Auto Tech is by far Superior That S58 Engine is a monster!!!

[@Emilthehun]

I love the cadillac! Such a good look.

[@lancemannion4113]

I have no idea why Cadillac insists on sticking to the conjunctivitis headlight and taillight treatment? But it didn't look good at its launch and it certainly hasn't gotten better with time, especially the taillights on this thing. It's a decent enough looking car otherwise, aside from the typical GM interior. But even for the price difference, BMW everyday/all day, even with the goofy grill!

[@07wrxtr1]

Same - once I drove my girls OLD 535i that's been tuned - I'm a believer! Thing just gets OUT! It's also quiet/comfortable and a tank sorta!

Hell, a $1000 tune and you are taking it in a roll race. The LF4 is a good engine, not quite S58, but very tuneable as well.

[@JadeaRS4]

It's not a competition model. Need more then 5g worth of upgrades. Then you kill the warranty as well. Not with the M3 competition.

You need to do this whole thing again. I saw you lifting your right foot. When you were shifting the car has a no lift shifter.
