This wasn't a race - these cars aren't matched at all in performance, price, size, tech, or luxury. They just don't compete and don't make sense. As far a 'flagship' status, Maybe they should have compared the Alfa to an Acura NSX typeS or a BMW M5 Comp or M8 Comp - all flagships for their luxury brand. Does that make sense?

A record for biggest gap with a 160 HP advantage seems pretty expected, and not much to brag about. And no mention of the crazy power advantage of the Caddy? It would be the same power advantage between a C8 and a C8 Z06, which anyone would wonder why would you ever think the base C8 would have a chance? It is crazy how close the Quad is at mid corner on the turn around after being so behind of having 160 less HP after a drag race. For journalism purposes, since the Quad was able to catch up so much during braking and cornering, it would amazing to do the same comparison but with a Quad WITH the ceramic brakes since indeed you could spec it that way from factory. I love my ceramic brakes on my Stelvio and why it was a must. Also, again for journalism comparison, a Quad with a tune 2 tune. It would still be down aboit 80 HP, but if a stock one is so close during the turn around a tuned Quad with around 100 more HP would be giving the Caddy a real run even still having a large power advantage. Also, would be neat to see these cars on an actual circuit to see a comparison between a muscle sedan with brand new tech and pretty fancy suspension compared to the decade old scalpel platform with a significant power disadvantage. The BW is a very special platform and the best from Caddy, I think being able to test a Quad that us also the best from the manufacturer and having the best factory brakes available since the BW is the best thing available from its manufacturer. I think the ceramic brake option on a sedan, and even an SUV, is a crazy feat from a manufacturer. I just watched a video off Tiff driving an F40 at a shop that makes a ceramic brake upgrade that still fits behind the small factory F40 wheel. They say they had like a 20% better stopping distance than the factory brakes. PLUS the advantage of consistent stopping performance with no heat fade. So the ceramic brakes are more than just a gimic or only good for doing multiple stops in a row. They remark a 20% shorter braking distance versus stock even before the stocks would be anywhere overheated. And the significant weight reduction in rotating mass to overcome. But thank you for the videos, it always nice to see any content still being made of cars that still suck down petrol and make sound. Also, it would be cool if right after the turn around there was a few cones in a row for a slalom test before the final drag to the finish in the car comparisons to add in more agility testing instead of just a couple drag races with just a 180 degree turn in the middle. I think hard braking after a drag, the a long sustained 180 followed by having to then make the car shift its weight the opposite way after the sustained turn (and back and forth through a short slalom) then a drag home to the finish would be very cool. Lastly, I think automotive journalists should do away with the "I don't know how to drive the car because it doesn't have launch control". Maybe they can just do some practice launches before rolling the camera? And then just mention it doesnt have launch control so it is all on me, but I have practiced a few times to helo give you the best viewer experience I can as an automotive journalist. So many complaints about new cars being too computer controlled, the so many reviewers complaining about cars NOT having computer aided assists. Such as Alfas not having launch control and also turning off the computer assists in Race mode. I think it is pretty cool Alfa (well, the amazing small group that designed the Quad) made it to where if you wanted to be in "party" mode with the loud exaust and the sharpest throttle and braking mapping you can't just drive around being a poser and have to drive with no driver aids.

@fredbloggs60802 ай бұрын
I owned a 2017 Cadillac CTS-V, and currently own a 2019 Giulia Quadrifoglio. The CTS-V may have had even better performance than The Blackwing, which although it has about 25 hp more, and more torque, is also a couple hundred pounds heavier. Off the line there's no comparison, even without launch control, because of the supercharged engine compared to twin turbo, and it seems that the Quadrifoglio ZF transmission limits response off the line, although maybe not in race mode. They also should have disabled all the traction and stability control in the Cadillac to be comparable to the QV, if they can do that now. The CTS-V, with the Recaro racing seats (I don't know what the Blackwing has), loses in comfort, and also nimbleness, road feel, and steering response and feel. They are comparing the Cadillac to a car in a lower weight, size and power class. I think I also read that the Quadrifoglios from 2020 on are a little slower in acceleration, at least in some road tests, and they also changed the steering from 2 turns lock to lock to 2.2 turns, which may have no practical difference.

Why the CT5-V Blackwing against the AR and not the CT4-V Blackwing?

Love the looks of the Alfa. That Verde color is fantastic....but we all know the answer its always going to be "Merica baby. BW for the win!!!

Both phenomenal cars, but the CT5-V BW is in an entirely different universe. The Alfa should have been run against the CT4-V BW.

The U-Drag is an awesome concept like a REALLY good 3 in 1. But you gotta do better with the match ups. Keep it up but do better💙
