I read post #18. Go read post #20 again. I said I had no problem with the dealer allocation system. This is my issue, " So you look to Sewell in Texas and they say you can't buy one because your out of state. Thats my only complaint." Please respond to that. TGF I hope this conversation is not...

Ok folks lets get back on point. My original complaint (yes it is a complaint) was regarding Sewells policy of not allowing out of state buyers to put in an order for a CT5V BW. No complaints about state population differences or the allocation system rewarding big volume dealers. Thank you...

I agree that not allowing out of state buyers a chance to buy a BW at Sewell shows some degree of loyalty to the in state buyer's. Could you explain how that is showing ethics?

Not sure how you thought I got a museum delivery on my C8. I had it courtesy delivery to Oregon which Chevrolet dealers will arrange for out of state sales. I have no problem with certain dealers getting high allocations bases on their sales. Just wish they would sell nationally since they...

This is not a complaint about Sewell Cadillac or any person at that dealer. I'm sure they are a top notch dealer and a great place to buy a car. This is a company policy complaint. I see that Sewell has 41 CT5V Blackwing's on the property or in transit to their dealership. That is probably 4...

I know how you feel. Sat in both and felt the standard seats were more comfortable and would be more livable for daily driving. I will not be tracking the car and the seat bottom side bolsters are just to aggressive for my tastes. I also worry that over time they will wear down from less than...

I hope you can get a Rolex for each of the Blackwing's you own. You are a fortunate man.

I totally agree. I will be very frustrated if I can't get an allocation before they stop making this car. Old men need fun, irrational cars too!

That's the $64000 question. Does GM want it exclusive or do current owners want it exclusive? Even if GM makes one for everyone who currently has one on order by the numbers it will still be a rare and exclusive car compared to a corvette.

I owned a 2021 C8 vert for 3 months. It was a great car but I wanted comparable performance in a more civilized car. I wanted to get in and out of my car with dignity and not feel shoe horned into the cockpit when I drive. I also missed having a manual transmission and thought the DCT was...

This is a question for people like Dustin at Sewell who know the GM system better than most of us. It appears that 1435 CT5V Blackwing's will be made in 2022. Every one is spoken for and their is tremendous demand in unfilled orders based on all the people on this forum who are waiting for an...

I agree with both of you. Thanks for the chart showing past sales.

So how many CTSV3 did they build in the second year? Help me understand why they only build 27 a week verses 175 C8 corvettes a day.

Thanks for that attachment. Now if we can see Midnight Steel Metallic we'd be set.

Does anyone have any inside track on what Argent Silver Metallic and Midnight Steel Metallic look like? Did they show up on past GM cars. If anyone could post a past picture of either color I would appreciate it. THX.

Despite every U Tube review of the CT5V- Blackwing preaching you have to "get the Manual" the fact remains that 59% of cars produced so far are automatics and 41% are manuals. I can see real advantages with either one. More content with the auto and more uniqueness and driver engagement with the...

I agree. Now I have to decide if those little tags are worth $2900. Probably not. Not having them will make the car even more of a "sleeper" which is fine with me.

Thanks again. That video was perfect. I'm glad they put the white piping on the seats to give it a little more dressed up look. The visualizer never shows that so I was wondering if it was there. I will definitely go with std interior option. (If I ever get to order the car) Never had such a...

Thanks, that reply helps a lot. If you could ever post a picture of the std. front seat in the Blackwing I would really appreciate it.

I did have the GT1 seats and found them to be a little bit snug.
