Very nice. Sharp looking car. I especially like that front end.

Probably the longest video I’ve watched online. Excellent and thanks for posting. I’m a MOPAR guy, but that Cadillac is a work of art. Everything he said about the handling, responsiveness, and braking is why I love the scat packs and supercharged Hellcats. We are truly living in the golden age of performance automobiles.

The V series C cars from Caddy have been excellent and this looks to be excellent as well. That being said if the performance metrics are reasonably accurate as supplied by GM I would take a BMW M5C and definitely a M5CS over it though the latter is significantly more expensive and less practical as a family car.

This family car came with a 455, got 8 mpg and didn't cost $85,000 to purchase.



Plus there was enough room for teenagers to frick in the back on a Saturday night.

Can Cadillac boast that today?

German cars are great for a lease.

To actually own one? Nah.

Porsche is probably the most reliable and even they have to add 20k to the price to get options you actually want.

Im hoping to own a V3 CTS in the next couple years. Miss having 4 doors.

The BMW M line is not expensive to own. At least not any more than other high performance vehicles.

I LOL'd when Jay scoffed at the can of Redi-Whip in lieu of a spare tire.

The CT5-V Blackwing is Cadillac's farewell letter to the internal combustion engine. No new Cadillacs will be powered by gas or diesel. What you see now is the final generation of ICE Cadillacs.

And I have to say - the CT5-V Blackwing is fricking awesome. Easily the best sports sedan for the money.

I stopped watching 10 seconds into the video when Jay said driving a manual is better than an automatic just like having the window down instead of putting on the air condition.

Double FAIL

I watched a video of it the other day.

At 668hp and 650 lb ft of torque,that thing will kill most of the muscle cars out there.
