    CT5-V CFV: Functional Or Aesthetic?

    I think Mirza has said in the past it is just for appearances, no additional aero.

    Anyone else purchased a lightly optioned 4BW?

    I often look at the option packages and ask myself if I would buy them separately without the car. 2k for the HUD and PDR doesnt sound like a lot on a 65k car, but no way in hell would i pay that much to put in an aftermarket version. I seem to give more leeway to touch points: steering wheel...

    CT4-V Blackwing FAQs

    Pardon my ignorance.. The ECM isn't directly measuring torque, its calculating it from inlet airflow, pressure, temperature, fuel flow, EGT, O2, etc. Can you intercept those signals to make the computer think its producing less torque than it is, or does that screw up other things downstream...

    Agree with that 100%. Shouldn’t even be an option.

    Anyone else purchased a lightly optioned 4BW?

    If I go cheap on the seats, I might splurge on the red seat belts :)

    Media dumps

    Most of them put manual vs manual and auto vs auto. In most of the manual reviews, the 4 wins. In most of the auto reviews, the m3 wins. The m3 comp is a monster of an engine, the zf is great, and the interior is pretty awesome too. The 4 still has the better chassis and steering, but not...

    Anyone else purchased a lightly optioned 4BW?

    I’m going to go “ramen noodle” spec. 6MT, whichever color, and debating between base and mid seats.

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    Random question, are the 4BWs up-level seatbacks thinner than the base? Wondering if that might give an extra inch of legroom to the back seat passengers. They kind of look like it in the configurator, but hard to tell.

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    Also an engineer, so wanted to chime in. You’re throwing shade, but those numbers mean the electric truck towing a 10k pound trailer goes farther than an unloaded gas or diesel f150 for the same amount of energy. If you want more range, get a bigger battery. We’re going start seeing all...

    If the ct4 v bw had an option to get the bmw interior, I would take it. I would pay 5k to get the bmw interior option, but probably not 10. There’s nothing wrong with the interior like cue, but there’s also nothing amazing save maybe the PDR if your a track weenie. If neither car had a...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Mines almost the same. MT, 4 doors requirement. More than 4 cylinders Not FWD But I’ll still try a WRX, civic R, and a golf R, because it’s basically m3 vs ct4 otherwise. I would have bought an m340i in a heartbeat if it had a stick!

    Media dumps

    I've sat in the new M3 with base seats, and I've sat in the BWs with base seat. I can with 100% confidence say that the BMW interior is better. It feels special, it looks nicer, and the user interface for all the controls is class leading IMO. Regardless of actual material quality, the BMW...

    2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing - Official Exterior Color's Photos - (CG)

    The cg photos have a much warmer and diffuse lighting effect compared to last year. Like they were trying to simulate sunset, maybe. Hard to judge what the color will look like with some glossy reflections.

    I think you’ll be surprised. C/d already ranks the 4 and 5 as 10/10s. They are going up against the manual version of the m3, which is down on power and supposedly has a rubbery shifter. I’m sure the m3 will be ranked with the better interior, but that’s cause it has a better interior.

    2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing - Official Exterior Color's Photos - (CG)

    I pulled the CG images of the 4 Infrared and the new Escalade in Radiant into powerpoint and did the ole eye dropper on a couple locations. The change is so subtle I cant tell a difference.
