WONT TAP's CT4-V Blackwing

[WONT TAP]

I'll start with a picture of my daughter and me sitting in a hotel room, waiting for the pre-order window to open up back on February 1.

For reference, this car is serial #0026. It was pre-ordered February 1, manufactured July 21, shipped August 4 and arrived at the dealership on August 17.

We'll probably post here on the Cadillac V-Net forums, Facebook, Instagram and the Tapout Tuning website.

Try and stay strong as long as your under warranty, lol.

So I had some leftover ATS-V wheels that I had refinished to match the new Blackwing. The fronts fit perfectly, but the rears have no chance of clearing the new, larger calipers.

Was the ATS-V 2 pistons in the rear?

 

[Mirza Grebovic]

The new calioers are same size as CTs-V or the non carbon CT5-V Blackwing. A LOT more brake in rear in the Ct4-V Blackwing than ATS-V. Larger od (329mm to 340mm), thicker rotor 26 to 28mm i believe and no drun in hat so no drun on inside of rotor, very smooth hat for great airflow and cooling.

scott what are front tires on the new rims 255s still or?

Mirza, as you know, the CT4-V Blackwing OEM front wheels are 18 x 9s with 255 tires. Our custom CCWs are 18 x 9.5s with 275s, and they seem to fit the front perfectly.

 

[Mirza Grebovic]

Wow. Thats wide, awesome.

Hey Scott, it's been a long time...

Any chance you did a "test fit" of the stock rears on the front, for those looking to do a square setup on the cars? Thanks!

No, sorry.

Got in a solid road trip this weekend. Already have 800 miles on the clock. Here you can see how the recommended rev limiter increases at 500 miles.

 

[WONT TAP]

Our 2022 CT4-V Blackwing arrived a few days ago. Four days later it had nearly 1,000 miles on the odometer and was ready to be strapped down. We did three baseline pulls and peak power ranged from 421 to 429 whp. The median numbers were 425 whp and 462 wtq, nearly identical to what we expect from a completely stock ATS-V with automatic transmission.

Did the ATS-V have the same dip in power at the 4700 rpm area?
