Electric blue all day, life's too short for boring car colors

[@MilesPerHr]

😂 👍

[@J1407b.]

I agree

[@extreme9755]

Down shifting that beast around that canyon round was truly something to be witnessed!

[@dantae1k554]

24:25 didn't know you were chill like that miles

[@MilesPerHr]

Haha, gotta live a little

[@GenuineLenisita]

Heh! Miles was having a lot of fun in the hennessey, and i can see why The shifts were instant and when you pressed the throttle, it would do it like nothing. It's amazing!

[@ALE-ne7hb]

Jesus Christ! That Hennessy is a BEAST!!! Please do another review , I can listen to that exhaust all dayyy!

[@fanboy7_got7]

What great content😮🤯, Miles.. Thank you so much

[@MilesPerHr]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@advendro9385]

This is a great one! Felt like you got to do this comparison at some point!

[@MilesPerHr]

I was excited to get the chance!

[@katiekennedy9214]

Both are beautiful ❤😮

[@VroomNDoom2602]

I got to drive a a few blackwings, they are so insane.

[@ctblackwing56]

I had a ‘20 2.0 in wave to daily alongside my ‘20 CT6V..I currently have a ‘23 manual BW in Midnite Steel to keep his big brother company

[@rahdope]

Definitely my next car 🔥

[@LukAS-yp1bj]

I think the manual transmission on this car is even faster than the one dodge put on their vipers in 2017... beast

[@eddstarr2185]

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing just comes alive in Electric Blue. It's a color that highlights all the body panel shapes, but should never be paired with bronze wheels! You made the right spec, Miles. The Hennessey H1000 CT5 Blackwing would be overkill for me. Something tells me that a typical Hennessey Performance customer wouldn't have to choose - they'd buy'em both!

[@rossreed9974]

If money were no object.. I would buy the factory automatic for my wife and yes, the H1000 6-speed for myself. Thank you for the review!

[@Justinx310x]

Started sounding like SubaruWRXfan - Matt Moran after some of those Hennessey accelerations

[@nasosnasos8054]

Love

[@etjulien]

Holy mother of God that Hennessey is fast!

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

Nice car well testing on the highway.

[@300CME]

Nice comparison! I would personally keep your stock Blackwing. You’ll have more useable performance off the line than the Hennessy.

[@KiNGJ_61]

I want electric blue but when I ordered mine the year changed and I was stuck with the new darker blue. Electric Blue all the way though!

[@ryanchan2302]

Hey miles!! Could you do the R8 Spyder quattro or the panamera turbo s?

[@MilesPerHr]

I did the Spyder Quattro about a year back, but working on the Panamera Turbo S!

[@arizonaridersclub]

We're riding with ya.

[@user-Timothy1]

Wave Blue Rocks!

[@bikeautoview788]

Nice Car

[@nickmay9430]

Gotta gi with wave blue and bronze rims

[@jroberson976]

Awesome Hennessy sound!! Definitely if money wasn't a factor than I'm all in. That being said Hennessy charges like 20-30K for those 1000HP installs...and that's on top of the dealer markup on the car. So I'll keep my Blackwing stock thx! 😂

[@kentrelt5140]

That's a good price. I thought Hennessy charged $55K for the engine build to get the 1000hp. I'd be okay with $20K, $25K would be stretching it.

[@christianbailey8113]

Also comes with a warranty, he doesn’t mention that

[@200boiross6]

Yea they charge 55

[@superchargedsteve3411]

Not upgraded cams, cam. It's an LS pushrod V8, only one.

[@GBMM7]

Was looking for this comment. Guy was killing me and the most embarrassing part is that he owns a blackwing.

[@mackharris6536]

I think you should go take your CT5 V blacking to Hennessy to have them do 1000hp on it

[@santinosonny4047]

What a great review miles. We appreciate you 🙏 Ya I think I will keep my blackwing stock until my daughter has her first boyfriend then I might need that 1000hp 🚀

[@MilesPerHr]

😆 good call!

[@miklos2143]

He put a sticker on the speedo but forgot to blur the head up display :D

[@313soldier313]

I saw on another channel that Hennessy messed up the low rpm drive-ability on the manual version of the H1000. They said it was very easy to stall in 1st gear from a slow roll. I’m curious if that’s your experience?

[@WeBuild4Life]

With that agressive of cam thats very normal.

[@MilesPerHr]

It was something I got used to within the first hour behind the wheel. After the cold start, yes, is is easier to stall than a stock BW (because of the cam, which if you catch on the lull, can trigger a stall), BUT after it's warm, and when you get used to giving a little more throttle, it becomes second nature.

[@kentrelt5140]

Not sure why anyone would have a 1000hp manual. That's not practical and defeats the extra hp.

[@313soldier313]

@@kentrelt5140 there’s nothing about 1000 horsepower that’s practical. Automatic or manual. But I get your point.

[@kentrelt5140]

@@313soldier313 true but comparing manual to standard 1000hp is not practical for a manual.

[@Footyshorts923]

Wish you could hear that supercharger whine.

[@santinosonny4047]

MONSTER COW 🐄

[@tannermanson7456]

I wish they would make a newer ats it’s such a slept on car

[@rdollie1]

They did, it's the CT4!

[@ctblackwing56]

I prefer yours..✔️

[@superchargedsteve3411]

Also Hennessey gives you a 3 year warranty on the drivetrain. Worth it? Yes if you can afford it 100%

[@MilesPerHr]

Totally forgot to mention that - yes, that's a sweet sense of security

[@tnikoli40]

Do they give it after factory one is done. So you get 3 more years of warranty

[@LukAS-yp1bj]

with all these electronics I don't think this manual box is any slower than dual clutch automatics

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

I like this car more its underhood.

[@JRideReviewsJCSR]

Sweettttttttttttt

[@uncleremis69]

I really hope you’re not hearing the lifters

[@jamarirobinson5315]

7:14 668 horsedower 😂

[@labonmoran2929]

😘😘

[@GBMM7]

Why do you keep saying “cams” ? The LT4 has one Cam not multiple like a coyote for example.

[@adriank9]

Third!

[@familyguydaily318]

First

[@MilesPerHr]

☝️

[@QuillyOG]

1000hp???😂

[@4JaayTv]

😂😂

[@nicholascaldwell1512]

20:28 Dodge Demon 170 😈

[@MilesPerHr]

True! Hope mine gets built to compare!
