Welcome! It depends how much you want to get into the “performance” part of you car. The car is plenty capable right out of the box. The local PNW Porsche/Audi/BMW clubs have advanced driving schools when you take your car and they teach emergency braking, slalom, skid pad and autocross. I do...

According to the CT5 manual, Active Rev Match will: • Be active above 28 km/h (18 mph). • Match engine speed up to 5400 rpm. • Not operate when the accelerator pedal is applied. • Be disabled when the coolant temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F).

Someone really wants him to remember something important!

I am not aware of a way to visually tell a BW with the Precision Package from one without it. All PP have CCB, but not all with CCB have the PP. So you cannot tell just by looking at the brakes. Maybe if the rear links have been installed then you can tell it is PP. But that is not done at...

The V and BW do have differences but I do not think that the safety suite (adaptive cruise, Super Cruise, etc) is different. But best to validate before purchasing. Let us know what you find out.

If you want to keep the electric blue theme, then you can get something like this which will not block the radar behind the shield. https://savagecadillac.com/products/cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-adaptive-cruise-emblem-electric-blue-kit-in-gloss-black-or-carbon-fiber-print

I had a Beith custom steering wheel in my last car. They make custom steering wheels for all kinds of cars including Cadillacs.

Latest news from GM is that CarPlay will remain in ICE vehicles for the foreseeable future.

Last time my OTA update failed and the dealer had to perform the update. Next time that happens and I have to bring it in, I will ask them to update all of the modules and see if it enables the surround vision.

I was originally in the Jan 5-6 class but had to change it to end of March.

I looked around everywhere for someone selling 2025-26 versions. Only found them at Savage and they just recently got them.

Todd from Everyday Driver has the CT5BW on his list of future classics.

The Blackwing logo and Cadillac script lights are the two options that are just white light only. The V logo Blackwing and the Cadillac shield have some color. The added color looks nice but there is a circle of light bleeding out around them. Something to keep in mind when choosing which ones...

Here are a couple of pics of the Blackwing logo ones from Savage. Apologies for the not-so-clean garage on the driver’s side.
