Had the CT5-V and just got my Blackwing with white interior. I love that I can use it as a luxury looking car without too much flex but at the same time I can rocket through the Highway with no one suspecting what is coming out of this 4 door sedan. I think that undercover sports car look and performance was my favorite selling point.

[@flexinclouds]

Thats exactly why im in love with it. It's the do-it-all 'super-saloon', it has massive power/acceleration, 3 pedals, great interior & comfort, but also handles & brakes like nobodys business. Running on ps4s's it pulls 1.05g of grip, which isnt too far off the c7 z06 on the same tires! And i love that it looks inconspicuous to normal people (like the ctsv wagons), but to me & other car guys, the design is menacing & perfect. Im 25, but still have never been the type to want the super-flashy cars that draw attention (like a corvette), so this beast checks all the boxes.. except for the affordability part lol. Congrats on your purchase though, the white interior is the way to have it👍

[@daleandrews3552]

An old friend of mine from the mid and late '70's (I just turned 70, BTW!) who grew up in the '60's (as I did) and lived through the real Muscle Car Era told me at the time (when cars were being choked with smog equipment and outfitted with low compression engines for unleaded gas) that cars "are gone", meaning that the times of buying a new car with any kind of descent performance were surely over for good. He was right, for the time. Now, to my amazement, we've entered a new era where apparently the engineers have gone back to the drawing board and are now turning out monsters like these that would blow one of my old Pontiac GTO into the weeds! Those were the days when turning in a 14 second quarter off the showroom floor was entirely possible, but only with the best FACTORY engines and horsepower. Now, I just don't know what to say but WOW!

There is almost ZERO difference between the CT4 blackwing and the CT5 Blackwing. a 0.1 second difference in terms of 0-60 and if your not gonna track the car who GAF about a 0.1 second. Theres a MILLION variables for that type of time difference. lol. #CadillacVForTheWin

Im crying inside because my 2 all time favorite GM cars (this & c7 zr1 ztk manual) are both very rare, sought after, last-of-their-kind rides costing wellll over $100k.

This is a great car, but the problem is that there is a car called Corvette C8 and its priced similar to this, the top trims for both car are around $100,000, while this has bigger numbers on horsepower, the Corvette C8 can do 0-100 in 2.9 secs, and CT5-V Blackwing is only 3.5 secs. Except this has a 4 seats and manual advantage, the Corvette C8 completely destroyed it in performance, exterior and interior. In the end, the line up for Corvette C8 is way too long right now, this might be one of the reasons someone who would buy CT5-V Blackwing.
