Took her home yesterday and I have say that car is damn impressive. Love the exhaust note. Scared someone next to me in a pruis at a stop light when I had the exhaust at loudest setting and gave her a bit of throttle. Not too much because of the break-in, but enough. And downshifting, with the...

My CT5-BW was delivered three weeks from production. Acceptable. Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but Lansing is only 5 hours from St. Louis. Was delivered on truck, according to my dealer. No time in train yards. Maybe Cadillac is finally getting their act together?

Well, 21.5 months after placing an order, my Blackwing has been delivered to my St. Louis dealer. Finally! Car was built the week of 3/13, so she was not in the rodeo for very long. Seems like things are finally moving at Cadillac. Please drop me from the tracking list Rob. Appreciate your time...

I just want the car, with or without buttons. I ordered mine in June of 2021 and obviously I picked the wrong dealer, because my garage is still lacking a Blackwing. Dealer was fairly straightforward with me, I was second in line, but the first guy got his over a year ago. Finally got the call...

Awesome car! Black on black wheels? Yep. My black raven is supposed to be built next week. Hopefully. The wait is killing me. I am quite jealous looking at your masterpiece.

Just looked at your pics again. Where is the tiny Blackwing badge on the trunk? Thought the 23s had that.

Love that color. Enjoy!

4 months AFTER it is built before delivery?! And here I thought at 3400 I was getting close after waiting 21 months. Guess not. Well, what is another few months? Weather not quite warm enough in MO to enjoy her much anyway.

Congratulations! Will be fun time, but it sure looks cold at your dealer. Might be a couple of weeks before you take her out? I am just happy to out of the 1100 club.

I finally got “the call” after 20 months of waiting. I obviously picked the wrong St. Louis Cadillac dealer to place my order with. Anyway, please add my order number to the list please. CKWRV9. Thank you Rob!!

Missouri “requires“ front plates too, but I have been driving my 09 CTS-V for 13 years past plenty of mid-MO cops without one and no tickets to date. If I ever get an allocation for my 2022, er 2023, CT5-V Blackwing, I plan on doing the same. Save the track driving for the track, and the cops...

Appreciate all you do checking V orders for us, Rob. I was wondering if you could check on an older order I made before the one you are already tracking. I called my local smaller Cadillac dealer in early June and gave them the specs. I didn’t think they even bothered to enter the order into...

Congrats! Awesome looking car. Love the black on black wheels. I am getting the same color combo except for the seats.…maybe. Stuck at 1100. 😑

Hello. Glad I found this site. Have been enjoying my 2009 CTS V for a long time now. As much as I love the car, I have my eye on a CT5-V Blackwing. Sadly I am not one of the first 250, even though I tried. Lost out by a few seconds I think. Sigh. Anyway, I placed an order for a BW from a St...
