    Not a Blackwing video per say, but since so many reviewers only faulting of the 4BW is the engine sound, I invite you to listen to some of what I might agree are some very beautiful sounding engines. As someone who used to daily an FType, I'll let you judge for yourself how much closer the...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Filthy from the ride up but, there's nothing like the Thursday lunch special in Fayetteville, TX. Classics, past present and future.

    Daily Driver Observations

    Been there done that, got the stitches. The only vehicular accident I've ever been in that sent me to an ER was being hit from behind while waiting at a stoplight. The lady claimed she didn't see me but how do you not see a 6'4 man with a white and black helmet, white and red leather jacket ...

    CT5-V Getting Rid of Fake Engine Noise

    "Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) If equipped, ANC reduces engine noise in the vehicle’s interior. ANC requires the factory-installed audio system, radio, speakers, amplifier (if equipped), induction system, and exhaust system to work properly. Deactivation is required by your dealer if related...

    CT5-V Getting Rid of Fake Engine Noise

    As it was explained to me its not quite that simple. The cars use Active Noise Canceling so its not really apples to apples comparison. Putting the car in tour mode still keeps both valves open under hard acceleration, but the noise canceling kills a lot of the sound because the mic is listening...

    Daily Driver Observations

    Daily driving the CT4VBW continues to be a blast. Here are a couple of my observations to for anyone considering dailying a Blackwing. The softest setting of suspension is really plush but the car still corners extremely flat when pushed. Ceramic coat the wheels and calipers if nothing else...

    Man that truly sucks. Hate to see this happen. Glad you're ok at least.

    CT5-V Getting Rid of Fake Engine Noise

    I'm not confused at all. The car has active noise canceling in addition to all the sound deadening. If they did not pipe some of the engine sound back in through the speakers, the noise canceling would hear what's leaking into the cabin and play the same sound out of phase so your ear doesn't...

    CT4-V Blackwing Manual Transmission Engine Revving

    Per the manual, auto rev match for downshifts is only enabled by the switch, auto rev match for upshifts AND no lift shifting are constantly on and happen if the right conditions are met. There definitely is some sort of anti-stall programing in 1st from a stop. It took me forever to get used...

    Site Update: Official Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing Registry

    Hmm interesting.... Of the presumably 6 CT4BWs with -0026 serials built, ( Preproduction manual and automatic, 22MY manual and automatic, and 23MY manual and automatic), 4 of them have skycool grey interiors. P 41-0026 hasn't been added to the registry yet but it will be interesting to see...

    How many of you with a 4BW or a 5BW actually took one for a test drive before buying?

    I test-drove a CT4 and 5 V and C8 before ordering my 4BW.

    CT5-V Getting Rid of Fake Engine Noise

    I keep trying to understand why the owner of a luxury performance car with a ton of sound deadening, acoustic front windows, and active noise canceling would want to remove the injection of the desirable engine and exhaust sounds back into the cabin. I could see if it was a completely...

    Did anyone else's android auto or Apple Carplay screen change?

    Coolwalk is ok but now for some reason, it won't read my text when I get a message.

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    There is nothing to disagree with. Cadillac needs to take care of all of us, as quickly and efficiently as possible. I'm not in opposition to @Tall Steve wanting to get his badge or being frustrated about the process. I was merely pointing out why SOME people might perceive him in particular as...

    I totally agree Cadillac needs to get this handled properly, and quickly for everyone.

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    There are times when the king should not wear the crown in order to remain king... I'm not saying anyone is wrong or right in this situation but surely you can appreciate it could be seen as braggadocio to complain that you haven't gotten your second badge for your second blackwing having never...

    Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results

    So looking at the dyno charts and assuming an average 14% transmission loss between who vs SAE are we really saying the extra boost is good for something like 520hp 472hp to 409whp is like a 13.33% transmission loss So 450whp at that same level of efficiency loss would mean you're making...
