I was recently talking up the car to a neighbor and explaining all the really cool features it has (that I will never use) such as line lock...LOL. I've never even used launch control or no lift shift though I've been meaning too....some day...

I get it. Its a beastly car and I would love it. But for me some ridiculously fast Lotus or small Ferrari would be more my bucket list. A few years back my shop put the Audi 2.7 L Bi-turbo from an S4 into one and they said it was one of the fastest best handling cars they had ever encountered...

Well I'm too old and arthritic to be getting in and out of a go-cart these days...but yeah. A bunch of years ago a neighbor who was an SCCA instructor was doing an autocross class and invited my son and I up to drive the course after class. My son was able to run it in a cart and did have a...

Well I am actually. But when all my friends were into muscle cars - I was more into Fiats, Aphas, Triumphs, MGs and such. But not being so mechanically inclined my 2 seater ended up being a supercharged MR2 in 1989. I've certainly spent time in friend's GTOs, Javelins, Chargers and the like back...

I was never a V8 guy....not that I don't appreciate them and wouldn't mind per se....just I tended to be into smaller cars - so mostly 4 cylinders...lol. One big exception for me was my 2001 Audi S4 Bi-turbo (stage 3)....and boy was that a beast of a car....took down one of those older AMG 63s...

I hear you. No doubt the 5 BW is more "special" in numerous ways...but for me even the 4 BW is almost too large (and certainly too heavy) of a car...but in these time it is what it is. Still each hits the mark in so many ways that speak to enthusiasts as well as those who just appreciate...

Thanks for posting. This was great fun to watch. All are great cars from a great era and are on par and deliver better driving experiences than most "performance" sedans or equivalent today (which mostly are now SUVs). That being said the CT4V BW is a better all around car and a better...

Just noticed wasn't just 10 cars - more like 13....14 with the Celestiq...

Very interesting list. Kudos to Cadillac with 4 of the 10...though I do question the Celestiq a bit. Is it for the audacity of charging $360K+. I'm sure they have reasons for all of these picks (beyond even the little bit here). Glad to see both Blackwings get their due as well as the CTS-V...

Great color combo....Green with the bronze wheels. You will really enjoy the V Academy. My wife made me promise to get rid of my MK VI GTI to get the CT4V BW....well I never said when I'd get rid of it (not for a while I hope)....both are great fun cars to drive...

Way cool clubracer...great fun. Now you need to convince them to do a full review of a CT4 V BW MT. Quite a car list. How many do you still own? Which are/were your favs? I'm sort of your opposite (except for perhaps a shared love of cars). I've only owned a handful of cars my whole life. I...

As I was with Mischa on the Ring I've felt that Everyday Driver not doing a Blackwing comparo was long overdue. While this wasn't exactly it I'm glad to see this and that they've at at least some exposure to the CT4V BW and seemed to like it and mostly get it. Here's hoping they do a more full...

Brewski - I think we see it the same way. I drove the GTI out to Wegmans and ran some other errands with it today and drove it 110%+...I thrashed it nearly the whole time and loved every minute of it. If I'd taken the BW - sure I might have mashed it down here and there...but mostly I would have...

I think there is something to this. Cadillac and GM clearly wanted to prove they could compete with BMW & the euros when they started the V program and continued with the Blackwings. I'm not sure if they ever really thought through where they ultimately wanted to go with it....its a niche market...

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed immensely. CT4 V BW acquitted itself well IMO. Surprised it was never passed but seemed a slow day. Mischa loved the car and for good reason - it did everything well. We here get it and knew it would perform but not everyone yet gets it. Their loss....but Caddy/GM...
