    Manual transmission take rate

    2 Blackwing models, 4 total variants to choose from. All great, choose what best fits your needs and wants. But the 5 manual will always be the most engaging and unique version of the Blackwing lineup.

    Cadillac V-Series paint colors 2022-26

    I just saw virtually ever color Blackwing Cadillac has made, except for the curated ones, at the Rolex 24 in Daytona. The Caddy client parking lot must have had 40+ CT5-V Blackwings, and a small handful of 4s. I did not see a single Black Diamond Tricoat, but I need walk only to my garage to...

    Blackwings and Watches

    Full agreement. The RM craze is a modern day Emperor's New Clothes. And they are not nearly as "authentic" race inspired watches as Lorige (and BTW, these have one digit less on the price tag). The cases are individually made from used carbon brake pads, acquired from hypercars after running...

    CT5-V CT5 Blackwing Deep Sea Blue?

    Unless you love that color, don't waste the extra money. Buy it if you love it, but don't pay for the "rarity" factor.

    Cadillac F1 entry

    Probably the wrong thread here, but I am heading down to Daytona for the weekend. Hope to get a close look at the Caddys (y)

    Great to see you here, big fella! Hope all is well your way 👍 PS, that Lyriq looks cool!

    2025 CT5 BW - AKG Settings

    The reality is these AKG systems are poor, and certainly below average compared to what other cars use. Tweak the settings or add a sub, neither delivers any kind of real audiophile performance. A sub will give you a bass heavy sound, but you're still stuck with the poor reproduction of the...

    Order Question

    That 4 sure has a lot of rake. Is that stock?

    Order Question

    Welcome back to the Blackwing club. I recall you sold your last 5 because you are a 2-door guy. And now selling the Z06 to get back to a Blackwing. The extra doors have never bothered me; the CT5-V Blackwing is all about a unique driving experience that no other car offers. But I imagine the...

    CT4 BW ---> CT5 BW

    Congratulations, I think you made a great choice! For whatever it is worth, Coastal is one of the few colors I think should not have red calipers. If I ordered that color, I would stick with the no-charge grey color, or if I got bronze wheels, maybe do bronze calipers. I am not a fan of 2...

    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    Great update, Chris! Glad you got past the early hiccups and love the 5!

    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    You did nothing wrong. Your dealer, on the other hand, should have inspected the issue before delivering the car. What an incredible shame for an LT4 to die in such a simple fashion. Maybe the replacement engine, coupled with what you now know, or think, about future Cadillac sedans, will...

    CT5-V Factory Destroyed 2023 CT5-V Blackwing

    When my detail shop worked on my Black Diamond Tricoat, they told me it was as good as GM paint gets. I guess I got lucky, but my 22 Rift Metallic was also more than satisfactory. The surface scratches in photos, obviously that is not a paint problem, but rather a someone causing the scratches...

    Curated by Cadillac - Hand built CT5BW

    I like these greens much more than the standard Typhoon. I would lean towards Evergreen with that interior based upon the renderings. Like The Evil says, you can't go wrong with either (y)

    Curated by Cadillac - Hand built CT5BW

    I would disagree with your friend on the black in the back. Looks fine to me, and lines up with the center console. Then it looks like 4 individual seats instead of a bench across the back. Much more premium like that.
