Media dumps

I heard there was a great Cadillac commercial during the 24hr of Rolex, it was a 5BW doing a pit stop I believe.
Anyone seen it? I want to.

"There is no wrong reason to buy one" is a strange statement. Is there a wrong reason to buy any performance car?

I suppose if the reason is to mow down a crowd of pedestrians. But that may be discounted if the buyer is a psychopath.
 
Cool history on the Tremec, but all the "future" stuff is just current fears and speculation. I don't think the BWs would have sold as well as they do if they didn't offer a manual as an option. Even if you're not a manual driver it helps the car distinguish itself as an enthusiast car amongst the other similar offerings and gain attention from reviewers.

I was also confused about his view of the future. I am not aware GM has said one way or the other whether the next gen CT5BW will or will not have a manual transmission.

I agree that many people who own a BW do so because it has a manual transmission. You can count me as one of them. If I wanted an automatic, I had many good choices. Wanting a manual, I only had one good choice.

If I was in the 5BW market for me it would be Audi RS6 avant or 5BW if I was looking at an auto.
Having less available funds for a car, the 4BW & M3 were manuals I was picking from and if you start looking at auto trannies there are so many options it would be an interesting shopping adventure.
 

Cannonball Run in under 30 hours with a 4BW.

Solid run.

Also they needed at least some gas economy. I think they said it was like 15mpg average but when they weren't stuck in traffic they were seriously breaking the law hitting well over 150 from Colorado onwards.

I don't know how they fit everything they needed in the back seat after turning the trunk into a second gas tank. It's pretty interesting the lengths they have to go in order to get on the "scoreboard."

True, the CT4 is thirsty enough, I can't imagine feeding that 6.2L.
