Front end design of last gen CTS-V was the best imo.

My only gripe about the Blackwing's is there is no hood "ornamentation" at all.

Spotted on 294. Saw in my rearview and wondered if a BW then heard it under a bridge and knew. Appropriately equipped with 3 pedals (save the manuals sticker on back). I was in a black Miata if you saw me, we passed each other a couple times.

Last week - in some heavy traffic in Waldorf area - PG county MD just outside the beltway - I came up on what I thought was a CT5 V BW....turns out it was a late model CTS-V. No pics unfortunately...but it looked great - a grayish color with red accents - was demonstratively very quick and was one of the louder cars I've heard in a while (all in a good way).

Owner was a young guy and we talked for a bit rolling in traffic. He complimented my CT4V and said his dad owned a 2023 CT4 V BW...but he couldn't figure out why mine looked so much nicer. My guess its the paint color combo with my bronze Apex wheels...

Oh, my spec is very exclusive. In fact maybe I'll start a private Facebook group!

I was told there another IMSA Sebring CT4V Blackwing in Palo Alto. And I met @Sebring20 at a V-Club meet. Cadillacs alone (non Escalade) are rare enough around here that I perk up when I see any sedan. I'm sure I've confused some CT4 and CT5 sport drivers with my aggressive waves and smiles.

Funny enough, theres another IMSA edition (the blue one) in my condo building as well. Quite a few in the Bay Area for a relatively rare car

Florida plate BLKWNG1 - you on here? That was a nice drive south on the NY Thruway yesterday.

Two black Blackwings (mine a 4 plus his 5) with vanity plates. I can only imagine what surrounding traffic was thinking.

Special Edition Red CT4BW on Northbound 275 in Milford Ohio. I was on the phone and getting off at the next exit so I didn't get to run with you

Downtown Sacramento on the 99/80 today around 10:30 AM, I spotted a blue 4BW. You here?

Manual cyber yellow CT4VBW with California "MFG" manufacturer plates in a Stevens Creek license plate frame parked up the street from my place on Halloween night. (In the 94402) I was pretty loud and obnoxious when I saw it, taking my after dinner candy-coma stroll, but no owner came out to shoo me away. Sweet ride!

This past Sunday morning C&C Millstone NJ an all black 5 and a fucking Hennessey 1000 5 with temporary paper plate

Blue 5 on Jimmy Buffet Memorial Hwy in Daytona - hood was up, a bunch of folks mulling around it. I also saw a TON of C7 and C8 Z06s in Daytona and on 95... must have been a cars and coffee or event.

The hood looks really nice on that red one! The color match is done well also.

Isn't that OEM on an older V?
