older is aggressive. newer is softer . it's like our society.

Amen to that 🙏..based on the CEO..no shade 😅

The deepest comment I ever seen. Amen brother

Or boy racer vs sophistication

[@greapsoho]

That's a first calling the manual soft vs the older one not even having the option. Honestly first time I ever heard that take. Usually old heads say the exact opposite.

The V3 bodystyle more aggressive looks awesome!

V3 Body style all the way!!

[@Tgcitw1]

So I really enjoyed this video, well done. The audio was missing a bit but it was a solid video. I’m sorry, but the CTS V is just a sharper vehicle. And I get that you have modded your CTS V but watching you smoke the Blackwing was hilarious! Best part of the video. Great stuff!

[@htx.v3]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Blackwing bro atw

[@bigmike7925]

The Blackwing is definitely a bad boy with newer technology. I got a V3 cts-v and the body has a better character profile.. They toned down the aggressive look on the Blackwing to make it more sleek n classy.. V3 all day.. great cars!! 🔥🔥🫡

[@truthja]

V3 was the best body style. All it needed was a manual option and it would have been the best generation.

[@TonyReed864]

I feel the v3 overall looks better. The black wing interior is beautiful though but i mean it’s newer so it’s to be expected.

[@MannyCarChannel]

Excellent comparison review! The v3 body more menacing.

[@allenmmcfarlane4977]

....that was fun and great video. Thanks!

[@G-Rated]

Salesman still in sales mode, chill man we don’t need you to try selling us the car. We’re here because we already know everything about them and like the cars. One thing tho, how are you the salesman for the brand and get the name wrong? It’s a Cadillac *CT5-V* ‘Blackwing’ not a “ct5 Blackwing”. Otherwise great job! I agree with him that the CT5 is just a more luxurious cabin but with better tech and overall build quality, switchgear/buttons and knobs. Both are equally sporty and I would _still_ take either in a heartbeat!

[@jones9309]

"Why you destroy me like that?" 💀🤣

[@karlb8069]

Nice video. How would this turn out with a modified BW?

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

I had deposits on 2022 Blackwings at two dealerships, hoping they would get allocation. Waited over a year, and then found a 2018 CTS-V exactly the color I wanted, fully loaded, great condition. Bought that instead, and saved $30K. I just like the third gen CTS-V better, exterior and interior too. No regrets. The 2025 BW restyling and new dash are really nice, but the price difference is really significant between the two cars. CTS-V, IMO, is the better buy, it is such a gorgeous car.

[@UnknownPerson-ub8ox]

The 2018 CTSV is absolutely gorgeous one of my nephews has one. At night when the lights come on that car is the best looking car on the road. Congratulations on your purchase stay safe.

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

Thank you. I looked at a 2024 CT5V BW yesterday, MSRP was $151,000. That's substantially more than the car was in 2022, and way more than I could ever justify paying.@@UnknownPerson-ub8ox

[@captainamerica9353]

Is your CTS-V a manual? And was the Blackwing going to be a manual?

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

@@captainamerica9353 No. My CTS-V is a 3rd gen, which was only offered with an automatic. I really don't miss the manual to be honest. Every once and a while, a manual is fun, but in stop and start city traffic, a manual gets to be an enormous pain. The BW was going to be a manual, but I confess I was really going back and forth on that choice.

[@captainamerica9353]

@@lorieandpatrickdavies7483 , I recently bought a 2006 and didn't know they went from all manuals, to a choice (2nd Gen) and to auto's only until now. My 2006 STS V8 was wrecked by a drunk driver and the CTSV replaces it. I could have easily bought a nice auto sedan for thousands less (CTS V6, STS, BMW 540, XJ8, etc.) but wanted the coolness of a manual sedan. But I don't commute! Peace.

What all done to the v3?

[@brianbartley6723]

The V2 and V3 are dead sexy. The CT5-V Blackwing is super nice but doesn't have quite the attitude as previous generations. Also, it's stupid of GM to dilute the V badge by sticking it on anything but the absolute top dog.

[@jamesdyer3507]

I own the "Baby V" of the Bunch I have the V-Sport I love this car but I would go for the V3 body (Mine look just like it minus the Hood vents) over the newer BW body.

[@jamalwestbrook1613]

Wish the audio picked up the exhaust notes better but v3 all the way for me because I’ve always been more for the aggressive look and feel of cars. Why I love American muscle. But they’re so unattainable now 😅

[@htx.v3]

Wind was against us sadly

[@kevintownsend3840]

I've had my V3 for a few years and I just like the style better than the Black wing. But I do wish they made the 2018 in a manual

[@captainamerica9353]

There were no manual V3's?? Sad, but due I'm sure because too many rich fools wanted V2's with slushboxes. For comparison, the 2006 - 2010 M5's with manuals are worth double an automatic.

[@thaiblkman1]

Yeah, everywhere I go I drive my black wing with the demo I don't have the 5 but I have the 4 and it's d*** fun. I'm waiting on the 25 to be released this year. So I could trade it in hopefully

Most V3's are modded.. hard to run across any that's all stock. The Blackwing stock is only 28 hp more than the stock V3.. My 2018 V3 dyno'd at 760 whp on pump gas and meth.. if any Blackwing pulls up.. he better be ready! 💯

[@markmancuso8769]

At least the V3 had heated rear seats. What’s up Cadillac ?

[@dude...are-you-sure]

Though it is gonna be the last of its kind with 6 speed manual, the days of automatics being slow shifting are gone. The modern day automatics will outshine any human. I'm manual transmission guy but I have to admit the 6 sp shifting has had its days. I would have no problems owning a 10 sp auto on these. Now no sunroof biggest advantage that's not mentioned is that it gives the car better overall rigidity. Which is very important for handling. I'll take mine with no sunroof thank you very much. Also save me some$ to put towards a tune.

[@dennissmith7214]

I Beat a V in my Escalade!! 😳😂😂🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ctblackwing56]

I had high hopes with your opening..

[@stephenbaker7435]

For all of you who haven’t done your research, the Blackwing motor was ONLY produced for the 2019 and 2020 CT6. The “V” on all other models under Cadillac are totally different motors from the Blackwing. A simple google search and speaking with certified technicians and detailed videos on KZbin from folks like Banks Superchargers will explain that to you. The “V” motors in the CT4/5 and Escalade are also made for the Corvette. But those ARE NOT Blackwing motors. Again, that Blackwing name was only given and is only designated for the 2019/2020 CT6. No offense but to call anything else is disrespectful to us CT6 owners who own this particular 4.2L TT engine.

[@HOVIK750]

The Homie doesn’t know jack shit about Cadillac bro. Who is he doing reading the sticker options? oh yeah the manual you don’t have to shift until the RPM goes full 360 and it breaks.

[@Almighty7266]

Only thing I don’t like about the ct5 is the hood they could’ve made it more sportier

[@andrewjake0]

You will never out shift that automatic.

[@SirManny4]

I just purchased my V3 in December but looked at 3 different CT5-V Blackwings. The Blackwings were definitely nice and I liked the fact I could get a manual transmission with the Blackwing. However, the V3 just has better overall looks and appeal to me compared to the Blackwing. As you guys stated Blackwings are often mistaken for the lower trim Vs however, there is no mistaking a V3 for a base CTS or even an ATS-V. Great video.

[@Austin4BW]

can't mistake it since the ats-v looking mad better haha

[@bobboy5508]

Yep, I have a 2017 ATS-V. Compared to the CT4 it’s way better looking. I discovered not too long ago they have many different CT4 V’s also. The only with the 3.6 twin turbo is the black wing. Not sure why they diluted the V badge. I also discovered they only made 579 of the 2017’s. Which is why I never see them, except mine.

[@Austin4BW]

@@bobboy5508 I think ct4 bw is nicer with carbon 1 and 2 or a tie but if they added a hood vent it would be over the top

[@lowe1875]

The only one that ask that question are none car people.

[@nemesisc4926]

The only thing that kept me from buying the v3 was the transmission

[@williseric2012]

I don’t understand why Cadillac didn’t put a supercharger on the 6 cylinder-V cause it would have given the car more power, especially to run with the BMW 3 cause, turbo charge gets more airflow, and that makes a huge difference in performance.

[@Cadillacplug]

the reason is we put a twin turbo on the V6 CT4 Blackwing that is faster then the M3

[@Jcastro9444]

Id like to the see the race with both vehicles STOCK and no passengers

[@Rgrafx]

No you don’t.

[@Cadillacplug]

Ct4 BLACKWING will smoke you 😅

[@rdollie1]

If you're talking about a newer AWD M and 0-60 straightline stuff, then sure. But the Blackwings were made for road courses and the Ms lose consistently to Blackwings there (keep in mind the slower manual variant beat the M5 CS at Willow Springs, auto beat 991 GT3 at VIR, etc..)

[@noway4u2no]

Dude needs to do a little research. The 86 on the steering wheel isn't the production number, it means that it's a 6 speed transmission the second number on the steering wheel is the production number. So this was the 212th 6 speed CT5-V BLACKWING.

[@ericspear3610]

[@raulsanchezjr4048]

Here in California we had V3s with manuals idk why he said they didn't come with manuals when they did. I have a 2015 CTS-V coupe and a 2019 sedan but I chose both in auto as they were faster than the manual as the new ones are as well. My coupe now has 800hp and 798ft lbs and my sedan has 735hp and 730ft lbs and still a work in progress and I love them both!

[@raulsanchezjr4048]

I am gonna max the 2019 out at 1000hp as that engine and that tranny can withstand that and still be reliable.

Not true on the V3 with a manual.. They only came from the factory with the auto.

[@royward4495]

Save for a bump up of 28hp and two extra gear cogs, the CT5-V BW is such a half done effort. It lacks luxury in the exterior design; I see a mucked up translation of the Escala concept's design language and after 4 years on the market, that C-Pillar is still fugly and cheapens the appearance of the vehicle. V3 was and still retains a balanced luxury and sporting aesthetic. As well, premium features on the V3 (e.g, Rear Dual climate control zones; Rear heated seats; Magnesium Paddle Shifters,...) were removed on the CT5-V BW. Those basic HVAC vents in the rear belong on an econo-car; not a supposed luxury performance vehicle. V3 all the way!
