I'm pretty sure the tape is 3M VHB, it's what car makers have been using to affix emblems on cars for decades.

I believe most of the 2025 pricing came from a post that points here: Cochran Cadillac The V8V pricing came from Dustin's post: 2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide (Look in the "available packages" image.)

The config I'm looking at comes in at $138620 before sales/guzzler tax and destination. Subtracting off the V8V option it's still $18K more than the same configuration in 2022 (I couldn't find option pricing for 2021). I'm solidly in the "no moon roof" camp. I'll take a run at this. As I...

I just noticed that the August 16th, 2024 version of the order guide lists weights for the 5BW as 4123 (M6) and 4142 (A10).

Very likely identical to the one I posted earlier: Glad to hear that it fits!

That's different from what I said: I see two paths: First someone who doesn't have the option and wants to upgrade. Second, someone who wants to save money by getting the car with the option and then upgrading it with parts. In both of these cases, parts would be swapped.

The news.cadillac.com announcement lists the manual as 4302 and the automatic as 4275. Which seems backwards to me since the caranddriver.com article on the 2025 says the 2022 (M6) was 4092 and 4130 (A10). If the ~4300 numbers are correct you have to wonder where all the extra weight comes from.

Thanks to Dustin, we now have V8V pricing: $18000 (which includes the J57 carbon ceramic brakes). I've seen some posts say "it's just bushings and calibration" which didn't match what I've read so I thought I'd dig in a bit. The media release says: Key Precision Package features include...

Is V8V orderable yet or will we have to wait until Q1 2025?

I'm curious if this clear cover fits.

I was looking at this the other day and here are the part numbers I identified (note that the online dealer witesites don't include many details in the descriptions; for each part number I found I searched images to determine the color and button variant): 85541922 Remote Control Door Lock...

Awesome to hear that CF options are finally available!

You can check yourself; download a copy of the order guide here. The last few pages of the pdf also summarize changes.

My read of the order guide (Aug 16 version) doesn't show any transmission requirement for the AQJ seats.

Hopefully when my name gets to the top of the waiting list V8V, CF1, and CF2 will all be available!

I recently reevaluated and my new plan is to do exactly that; get the seats, buy the exterior parts over the counter, and some combo of install myself or get a body shop to do it. But who knows, maybe 2025 is the model year where GM/Cadillac get their act together and I'll be able to order CF as...

The carbon fiber options are my biggest disappointment with the CT5-V Blackwing. If Cadillac/GM could have figured this out, I would already be driving one by now instead of waiting for years to place an order. I was briefly encouraged when they raised the price on CF options by many thousands...

(Is there a reason that is a problem?) Given that there appears to be 2025 BW orders happening, does anybody know what the new V8V option will cost? (Given the billet aluminum parts and revised calibrations I'm pretty much ok with whatever!)

The August 2nd print book (downloaded from www.gmfleetorderguide.com) now has the V8V option. It confirms that it requires RPO J57 carbon ceramic brakes.

I've been checking the cadillac.com web-configurator pretty often and I noticed today you can now configure the 2025 CT4-V. So some progress anyway.
