Got my allocation!

[NMBLKWNG]

Order placed for a CT5-V Blackwing 6MT on 01/05/26, got the news today that I received an allocation with no constraints. Target build window is 04/06-04/12, it should be here just in time for some beautiful weather!

And then the next agony is trying to abide by the 1500mi break in period.

Were you able to get it from a local dealer or did you have to go out of state? Also, did you have Carbon Fiber 1 & 2 and/or the precision package?

No carbon fiber or precision pack, deep space metallic with bronze wheels/calipers and level 2 seats. So nothing that would really warrant a constraint, but I was still happy to hear it.

I was able to get it in ABQ.

It feels like driving to a vacation spot. It feels like it takes forever for a four hour drive there, but the four hour drive back feels like half the time.

Just got the news that it has arrived! Next week is front/full hood PPF and window tinting (20% sides and rear, 70% front) then she will be ready for pickup!

Finally, I have pictures!

Thoroughly enjoyed the drive home, other than the fact that it started raining for the last 10 minutes of the drive. It had to happen eventually, she's going to be my year-round DD.

Good looking car! What’s your first impressions?

 

[NMBLKWNG]

I love it. The clutch took a second to get used to, but nothing too bad. I'm used to small blocks but this is a whole 'nother level of power. Even staying within the break-in restrictions, I could tell that it just wants to go. Interior is good (certainly nicer than anything I've owned previously), but I need to spend some time going through all of the infotainment stuff to get familiar with it.

All in all, I am very excited to spend some more time out driving.

I know what you mean! We have a 5mph speed limit in the dealership and I almost have to keep light pressure on the brakes sometimes to keep them from naturally going faster than that!
