Onçe I get back to work I'll choose between the Challenger and the Caddy? I like the Çadillac...A ways back I drove a Fleetwood, I've always liked Cadillac. Of course rite. They are luxurious cars.However a Challenger is the most saleable sports car out there rite now and for good reason eh?!
why the heck did they put cheak reflecter headlights ? are you kidding me ? for a six figure car that supposed to compete with amg and m5 its such a joke.
@@krasnaludek298 All the 2021 -2022 models did not have the Blackwing lettered badge anywhere on the outside of the car. Only on the seat piping. 2023 cars have now added the badge due to owners complaints about lack of badging. Cadillac started mailing out trunk badges 3 months ago if you contact Cadillac customer service. It came in a very nice logo box.
I just picked up my 5BW/automatic last Thursday. I only got 167 miles before I had to fill up. Took 15 gallons with a dash reading of only 28 miles left till empty. Cost me $82 @$5.46 w/ 93 octane. I guess my Dodge Challenger RT will become my new daily driver now.
Nice review. Just a suggestion for improvement… sit closer to the steering wheel or telescope the wheel closer to you. Your arms should be bent while driving, not straight. It gives you much better control of the car. Any good racing school would teach the same.
No man, I suggest he get in the car upside down and drive with his feet slightly bent on the steering wheel and work the pedals with his hands.. it makes for a more interesting video for potential customers who are contortionists... he can have also have his grandma drive it to show how comfortable it is for getting groceries and Meds from Walgreens. It's a review bud, he can drive it whichever way he wants bro. If you're so pro, go make a video and show him how it's done.
I had to rewind the video when he called the reverse light a brake light, that's the the problem reviewers do not get a owner's manual, love my black wing
You dont EVER wear jeans with a light color seat and interior. Its simply understood you have to be dressed properly EVERYTIME you enter the car, and your passengers as well.
10s of thousands less than German competition - ALL of which is slower on a track and the only hard plastic is the kick panel on the lower portion of the door which is where.you want it (and won't see it while driving.) It's definitely not as luxurious as cars like M5 CS but you also pay like $40-50k more for that prettier interior.
I'm on board with you. I so wanted to like the CT5 and will give it props on handling and overall performance but it's a let down after the last gen V. The last gen CTS-V was the vehicle that Cadillac really put it's all into. When this was unveiled, I was ok with the first 2/3 of the vehicle's exterior design, but everything aft of the B pillar is a mess with that fugly C-Pillar. I was hoping it'd grow on me but it continues to cheapen the look of this car. Nice individual aspects of the exterior but not a cohesively designed vehicle. Then as usual, the obvious cheapening and cutting of corners by GM in comparison to the last gen V: No heated rear seats, no rear dual climate controls - those rear vents with the 12 volt and USB-C looks straight econo-car and don't belong in a 100K vehicle. For reference, see what was there on the previous V and one will know what I'm referring to. And then people so impressed with 28 horsepower bump yet it doesn't have AWD as competitors. BMW M5 and MB AMG E63 both have less power and more weight of AWD (BMW M5 CS and MB AMG E63) yet are pulling sub 3 second 0-60 and have optional RWD mode to boot. And for that matter, this supposedly competes with M3 which is down 165 horses, has AWD and yet can nearly match the performance of the BW. In the overall, still a well engineered vehicle with some cheap touches and many will counter its price and driving experience as its claim to fame.
@@royward4495 I track my cars so no AWD for me. I had a V3 for 4 years and loved it. Have had the 5 Blackwing for a year and it's unquestionably a better performer. The rear seat area is a downgrade compared to the V3 (except for the carbon fiber seat backs) but everything else is better (and nobody rides in the back of my car so it's just fine.)
I must say, I’m impressed by your review on this CT5BW. Good job.
Thank you so much
@@Drive615 NP. Your review on the escalade V solidified purchasing one for my birthday.
So cool that these things come in mañual
Agreed
Anything with manual is cool. I hate autos with a passion.
Well that's a awesome way to start the video, nice little first and second gear tire peel 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!!

blackwing’s popcorn sound and crackls sound is more louder than M5??
I think so!!!
No burnouts in Brentwood Brother.
Thankfully this was not performed in Brentwood.
The selling point for me is it that it could pass as a rental car to those not in the know. Part of the reason I love my LS6 powered E46 ZHP.
THAT SOUND is so therapeutic for me, nothing beats an American V8!

Nice cars
Thank you!
305s on the rear
Yo thon how much fo da whip?
$100k
Yep it's 100k$ bc of carbon 1 and 2 pack on dis badboi and there some more options for this thing!
AND.....the ONLY place that says Blackwing on the car, is a very small tag on the piping of the seat !! A true sleeper.
Great eye!
That’s incorrect; mine has a badge on the rear below the V-applique. Some of the reviews might be pre-production or early models.

As you have probably figured out...the key fob color is meant to match the customizable brake caliper color....hence yours is red.
Makes sense!!!!
None of them are grandpa's anymore..... 2011 DTS may have had that association.
RUclips and pictures don’t do these cars justice finally seeing them on the road this is a mean and nasty looking car

Oh my goodness!! I bet it was a fun time though!!!
Try your best to not push the engine till 1000 miles. Its gonna be difficult lol
What about the Challenger? Can it smoke the Challenger?
Super Nice. I got a white one with the automatic. BYRON D
DAYUMM THAT CT5-V BLACKWING SOUNDS BADASS AND MEAN!!!!
Exquisite interior! Exquisite vehicle!
We agree!

Agreed!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
How was the room for someone of your height ?
Great!
@@Drive615 The charger hellcat just looks better. It screams attention. Nothing subtle about it.
@@mji9208 yeah, you just see five of them +/- a day. How many of these do you see?
All that money an there’s no sunroof
The fob matches the brakes on blackwings
I had to rewind the video when he called the reverse light a brake light, that's the the problem reviewers do not get a owner's manual, love my black wing
Just a beautiful car. I love it.
Yeah I want one all black with all the effects
You dont EVER wear jeans with a light color seat and interior. Its simply understood you have to be dressed properly EVERYTIME you enter the car, and your passengers as well.
The weird concept of driving a performance car to be noticed is ridiculous because you pass 100k cars everyday without people worshipping the car.
I cannot make myself like the ascetics of the car. Its not a good looking ride. Not a head turner. Okay...I'll say it - Its ugly.
Ugly and overpriced with GM cheap plastic in the interior. No thanks!

You probably can’t handle a car of this magnitude so no it’s not for you.
