Yeah, as @AdamUCF mentioned, a hybrid/V8 + manual combination is virtually impossible due to the massive R&D costs. What we will likely see is a manual transmission mated to a front-engine variant of LS6 - either NA flavor (CT5-V) or supercharged (Blackwing). That said, this is all speculation.

Whatever variation they make of the LS6 to make it front engine compatible will surely mate to the existing Tremec 6mt. So yes, I assume there will be a manual LS6 type engine with manual if the blackwing is still made

Not sure how old your son is, but I would trade the 4BW for the 5BW to get the most return possible, and then find him a non-molested ATS-V coupe to hoon in. Win win and everyone is happy

Here are some close up pics of mine for comparison

For reference

This is option you can select for any car on builder. Only difference is Santorini seat belts as I mentioned before

As Le Monstre owner, I am happy Cadillac is keeping the package truly exclusive and not watering it down by sharing its unique elements (sans Santorini seat belts) with other limited runs.

100% agree. Heck, even a sub $30K miata provides one of the best driving experiences out there

Seatbelts are the same Santorini Blue ones as Le Monstre. Where did you see one with purple colored belts?

What’s the $175 fee for guest for? They said I have to pay if my wife is staying in hotel

I finally got a spot today after unsuccessful attempts the past two releases. It looks like you have to respond within 3-5 mins of email to secure a spot.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! Funny enough, I was cross shopping a few cars with 5BW. The cars I shopped was: RS6 Avant (felt dated and next gen is around the corner), M5 Touring (too heavy and synthetic engine sounds are pumped through speakers), and M3 CS (really loved the car, but...

Does anyone know if these will be "Special Editions" with a door sill plaque, or rather just a limited build?

I am there now and again at the food hall, so good chance it was me. I reside not too far away near Lanier islands and Road Atlanta.

You make a valid point and I’m not expecting to profit from the car when (or if) I sell it. That said, I do believe its unique spec will help it hold value well and command a reasonable premium over standard BW’s with similar miles. Ideally, I’d like to essentially drive it for “free” over time...
