Supercharged Showdown: CT5 Blackwing vs Hellcat Black Ghost (POV Drive Comparison)

[@CreepySmileyFaceCar]

21:48 gotta love the heads up display on the windshield ratting him out

[@tylercouture216]

those no lift shifts are wicked fast i love that feature for manuals a real game changer

[@blaspheed]

It's really not new though, OEM no lift shift has been around for over 10 years with GM. My 2010 zr1 even has it.

I would buy the Black wing.Class and performance

[@nick-sg6qs]

you should do a comparison between your blackwing and a hellcat charger, since they are both 4 doors. Loved the video man

[@MilesPerHr]

I'll be doing a Charger Hellcat comparison as well, but I couldn't get the only supercharged "Last Call" Charger, the Kind Daytona, so I decided to still focus on price point (both Black Ghost and Blackwing being around $100K) in this comparison.

[@andrewbourque763]

As much as tire spin exists, the sound, power, fun, and raw speed of the black ghost just takes it for me.

[@mohammedkhamis9875]

Black ghost for ever

[@tekis0]

I love both cars! I'm really impressed with Cadillac and what they've achieved; they have reimagined themselves, big time.

[@czechappy]

That's not fair, One is a family car the Challenger was like the Mustang, Camaro, made for a young family. Daah!

[@omnimoeish]

Do you mean not fair in favor of the Dodge or the Cadillac? The CT5-V Blackwing actually is faster 0-60 and has a slightly faster top speed. Also Caddy would mop the floor with the Dodge on a track where handling matters due to the electronic LSD and steering tuning. Honestly probably one of the all around greatest engineered cars America has ever made. Randy Pabst got the CT5V Blackwing within a second of his own lap time in the Porsche 911 GT3 at Willow Springs which is built from the ground up for the track and he was driving the manual which is slower than the automatic.

[@ElricX]

Both cars are awesome but the Blackwing is my dream car. A hotrod Cadillac with a stick just makes me smile.

[@cooloh2low]

As a fellow blackwing owner, i just wish the hood had some sort of venting.

[@MilesPerHr]

That would look cool

[@itsjustnopinionok]

Like the last model

[@southerncomfort1339]

Yea u are Sooo right! Why have it on the previous CTSV n NOT on these cars(CT4)

[@Beammeupscotty-w5x]

The Black Ghost is just such a fun and in your face muscle car. The Blackwing is a sophisticated brawler but really competes with the Euro stuff. Charger/ Chally are really just doing their own loud and proud thing. Love it.

[@kronk9418]

@Brandon All of these GM products are the same thing - a copy of other sports cars made by other manufacturers. There’s absolutely no innovation.

[@stuartyablon7184]

Are you kidding me? The Hellcat Black Ghost. No question.

[@TardiffEpileptic]

Nah

[@shaunray6660]

Blackwing for sure, more luxurious muscle if that makes sense. Challenger S/C whine is too much for me..pure v8 sound from the blackwing! Stunning machine.

[@palefaced1]

Dodge could keep making the challenger for the next 20 years and they'd still sell them. Classic shape.

[@tr3ynag4ta]

Cadillac nice, buh I prefer the older models instead of the blackwing. I need that Black Ghost 🔥🔥

[@Rusty.1776]

Great review 👏 It's the RedEye for me personally, but the black wing is an incredible vehicle.

[@hu1087]

Blackwing is badass but to me it looks like a tesla model 3. Black Ghost looks and sounds amazing

[@mortezapooladkhan7463]

CT5 black wing 👌❤️

[@Lightspeed-eo6nw]

I’m a Hellcat loyalist, I drive a Trackhawk, and I love the motor. If the meh interior on the Mopars bothered me, I’d have this or an Escalade V without question. This for the manual especially though, the best theft deterrent these days, and factory no lift shift is sweet. The GM motor sounds so delicious, in the cabin especially. I love the scream of the Hellcat motor, but the frantic hum of the GM supercharger is equally as good, just in a more refined way. I wish I had the money to have a Mopar and a GM halo vehicle.

[@aaronromano261]

Am I the only one who actually feels the ground shaking every time a car starts up in these videos?

[@autovice7689]

Dude....the more I watch you the more I enjoy your reviews. So well produced. You are so well spoken. I own the same BW and absolutely love the car......now if only the snow would melt so I could enjoy it! I would have similar sentiments about the TRX and Raptor. TRX for the raw power, Raptor for the elegance and driveability.

[@MilesPerHr]

TRX and Raptor is actually a similar philosophy, you're right. Glad you like the videos and I hope you can drive your BW soon!

Blackwing is a manual....that is the seller for true enthusiasts!

[@Bagel_TM]

21:45 good job blurring the speedo, but you kinda forgot the projection on the windshield

[@Ibrahim.08]

I would choose the black ghost just because im a mopar fan but the ct5 sound much better than the hellcats

[@PyroBlonde7777]

You all can make up all the excuses to buy a marginally more luxurious car but I'm taking the 800hp supercharger hemi monster that sounds like a true beast. As a performance car enthusiast, how could I ask for more? Aside from a stroker 830whp Viper ACR that is lol.

[@krisfyock5310]

[@migueljohnsalgado7588]

Ct5 might be better if you compare all the stats, but there is no doubt the hellcat looks and sounds a lot nicer…

[@JW-gs8wk]

Agreed and save 25 grand . I’ll use it to upgrade the suspension and engine and still have 5 grand left

[@VanquishedAgain]

Depends on what you're looking for. Smiles per hour: Hellcat Fit and finish: probably Caddy (though a real luxury brand is probably better)

[@Nestle245]

Same exact interior from 2015. At least they could've changed it for the ending, they gave the Durango a new interior just a few year's ago.

[@MilesPerHr]

They knew they wouldn't need to do anything to the cabin and could keep selling as many Chargers/Challengers as they wanted until both were discontinued. It sucks for the consumer, but makes sense for the company.

[@miseryparty3726]

You’re expecting too much from a company like Dodge

[@movieclips-stand-up7435]

I know your censoring the speed with the Cadillac but I think you may forgot that there’s a a digital speedometer on the windshield…

If given the choice of the 2 cars I would walk straight to the Challenger because the Caddy looks like an Easter egg in that blue.

Comparing apples to oranges, I choose the Black Ghost.

Blackwing no question is the better overall car.

[@2016RT]

Great review, both are awesome vehicles and one would be lucky to own either of them. They both demand respect in their own right. I do however feel that a better comparison would have been with a Charger since it is a sadan. Just my two cents.

[@MilesPerHr]

I'll be doing a Charger Hellcat comparison as well, but I couldn't get the only supercharged "Last Call" Charger, the Kind Daytona, so I decided to still focus on price point (both Black Ghost and Blackwing being around $100K) in this comparison.

Sorry... I'm going to be 63 on my next birthday. I've had plenty of manual transmission cars before & enjoyed them.

Many reviews mention the nice turn radius plus the lack of a decent sounding horn. Fortunately, replacing that horn is cheap and easy. How about that C pillar visibility though? I love both cars but personally I would take the Blackwing.

[@canisdeumnox4925]

Why is the caddys digital spedo blurred? The caddy looks classy - surprised no rear fan control or heated seats

[@leopapio683]

For me personally dodge hasn't done enough, a small boost in power does not garnish a $100k price tag. As a Mopar guy I can't even justify upgrading to the same car for what $40k more then what I paid for in 2018?

[@justinnieves984]

The manual one is the one I want to drive!

[@blaspheed]

Coming from owning 2 x M5's, especially the F10 M5, you can tell the Cadillac tries to hit the major luxury appointments, but kind of misses the mark in many areas. The m5 had a power up and down rear trunk, comfort access and soft close for all 4 doors, etc. It's those little things that make a luxury sports sedan feel complete. The Cadillac just feels like a pig with makeup in many instances. I still think it's amazing though due to the fact it comes with the 6 MT as an option. I just wish they'd up the ante on luxury and interior look and feel. Too many glaring cheap spots on the car to substantiate 6 figures.

[@josephhummel7335]

I buy 2023 ct4-v it’s awesome ride smooth like luxury feeling I feel Worth got one

[@jimmyhamm6041]

I loke the cad but I would pick pearl white in color and sunroof . Class and pleasure rolled into the perfect cruiser.

[@jtc1964x]

Pretty clear cut - if you like sophistication and back road handling, the Caddy is the choice. If you want the ultimate in V8 power, the Dodge will walk away from the Caddy
