I've got a friend who works for Cadi and he said they don't have a manual on the normal CT5-V but do on the normal CT4-V. I'd be willing to go for the CT4-V Blackwing or maybe even the normal CT4-V. I haven't seen any details on the differential. I'll assume all 4 of them will get a mechanical LSD and not some silly ABS modulated BS. Cadillac has earned some serious cool points with me with these Blackwings. Going out with a bang while everyone else is on the boring electric bandwagon. |

For me, the 4 is smaller than I want for a 4door. I'm seriously considering the standard CT5-V as my next car. I really want the 5V-Blackwing but the 5V is really as much or more car than I need on the road. I just hate leaving all that power, and the 6MT, on the table!

If I were to buy a Blackwing I would get it with the 6MT, but the fact that it isn't available in the 5V doesn't bother me.

I would love the CT4-V blackwing. God bless GM for going out with a bang for ICE engines. To bad I can't afford it and would rather get a C8 LT1 with Z51

That’s why I don’t get why they did not use this engine on the cts-4. Would be much easier to prep for track and have better sound

If I had to guess, I would say it is because it would have been faster than the CT5-V Blackwing. Either that, or it just wouldn't fit to OEM standards.

Doug reviews the BlaAAAAaakWiiing
At least that's how he pronounces it. Seems like a good honest review.

As a general rule, avoid DeMuro.
But the reviews for the CT5-V Blackwing have been AMAZING!

Yea, I so wish I was willing to drop $100K on a car. I'd have my order in already. I just can't pull the trigger on it. I'm sure if you buy a MT one, and put it in a time vault somewhere it will hold it's value as "the last of its kind" but I would have to drive it.....daily....in rather reckless ways.
