It's amazing what money can buy. Apart from brains. "F1" badge. A valid substitute! Nobody wants the infamous "///M".
A "street legal race car"
next to a track legal one makes it hard to decide which one is which and why you would need the other when there is one already.Isn't Caddy an old people's car? Make your last trip fast! Heirs are impatient to spend.
The "Blackwing" looks like a racist term. It should be "Afrowing", perhaps.
Murdered out seems a bit past. Then again, he's sporting bell-bottoms.
What do I know...
The early reviews were not good but they seemed to have listened and improved.https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/cadillac/cadillac-sales-numbers/
While I suspect I will never ride in a Cadillac until I'm on my way to my "dirt nap". I will continue to watch their marketing efforts and marvel how out of step I have become.
ZTK_M240i wroteDid you find the 4BW was adequate for DD and fun drives? I have 1 on order, but sometimes wonder if I should've ordered the 5BW. Then I really look at my use case, and the 5 just seems too big, and overkill. But damn that LT4 sounds like nothing else. Does the 4 six banger sound good enough for you? Power OK? I prefer handling and feel over outright power though. Currently have an Elise and Miata, but did have several Z06s, for reference on where I'm coming from.Blackwings are GREAT cars. I had a CT4-V BW before my M240i. Had it for 3.5 years, not one issue. Not as quick as my M240i, but it handled better. Took it to about five or six track days, always got thumbs up and questions about it too. Mine was a manual, last of the breed...miss that car.
Thanks,
Give me the car!

I've said it in other threads, but imagine if GM wasn't stupid and made this AWD...

smokinjoe64 wroteNope. Way out of my league on price. I'll just take my lowly IS 500 that is 10 times slower but sounds almost as good.Although luv the CT5-V Blackwing 6MT, F1 version priced ~$160K
