OF COURSE I finally score an allocation at a local dealer, but one of my non-negotiable options is constrained. I checked out a 25 CT4 in Drift Metallic, they’re already shipping in that color, and it’s rad. Especially with offsetting color carbon packages. CT5 might be a long term daily...

I've never had ceramic coating last more than a few months when applied to wheels and then driven with any aggression. The heat from the brakes seems to negatively affect its effectiveness long term. And I've used Sonax and pressure washer, too. And I need my inner barrels sparkling, too...

Well, finally found a “largish” dealer willing to sell me the car at MSRP. I’m first in line, but no allocations yet. Only item on my order that is constrained is the Drift Metallic color. Not sure what my backup color should be… Added the parking package, PDR, and torch red seatbelts, kept the...

My understanding of “constrained” option status is that it can be zero availability or very, very limited availability. From what I’ve learned, the Precision Package is currently in very, very limited availability status, so technically it’s been officially opened for ordering (good luck...

All my vehicles have sunroofs, including my F450 pickup, and I use them all the time, love the open air. Only time I didn't spec one was when buying BMW M cars due to the silly carbon fiber roof expectation people have for resale value. I keep my cars (and truck) garaged so debris in the...

Yep, I'm aware of the Carbon1/2 combo requirement. Does parking package upgrade the center display with real time camera views? That's all I want. I've driven a 2024 5BW with sunroof and I'm good there with headroom. I am interested in resale value. But $18k for the Precision Package makes...

Ok, after some discussion in another thread and learning that the V8V Precision Package will have an MSRP of $18k (!!!!), I'm scratching that off my list. That should open up my opportunities of a faster allocation, since that option is currently constrained. Critique my build, please, I am...

$18k for V8V. Wow. $9k is MSRP on the carbon ceramic brakes. So the other $9k is for software programming, lowering springs, and some bushings? GM missed the mark on this one. I could maybe see that price for a 'Vette, since that is a much more track-oriented car than a BW. So few people...

So that’s the infamous goat rodeo I keep reading about here. Strapping on my spurs and spinning up my lasso.

Ok, first I’m reading $18k. I thought the consensus was just a couple thou more than the carbon ceramics, which I was going to buy anyway, Where are 2025 prices posted? I’ve only seen the order guide with option codes, no prices.

How do allocations work? I have to assume they are not just handed out all at once at the beginning of the order cycle? They can drip out over the model year depending on factory balancing and individual dealer performance? I assume this has to be the case, as dealers who don't have buyers...

Ok, so being on constraint means that even though it is shown on the order guide, an order cannot be placed that has that option? It's not a case of placing the order with that option, which will inevitably delay the order from being built until that option is off constraint? At least I will...

So from what I am learning is that this new package (code V8V) isn't able to be ordered yet? I came close to being able to place an order today, but that was the show stopper. It was an allocation that the dealer had open, but had already spec'd with Cadillac. Are people able to place orders...

I am being ghosted left and right by every Caddy dealer in my area. Even one who same day got me the 2025 5BW order guide and then went silent on me a day later when I gave him my spec. The only dealer who hasn’t ghosted me wants to charge $15k above MSRP for a Carbon2 car. Is expecting MSRP...

I’m very familiar with high hp, lower torque cars, so I wasn’t confusing the sensation of torque with hp, so I guess I’ll chalk this up to the long gearing. It wasn’t hugely underwhelming, it just never seemed to fully explode with power. Got it. Yes, there may be a ticking timebomb in the...

This isn’t a reflection at all on Delaware Cadillac, I simply helped myself to full acceleration when behind the wheel without asking permission. The sales person did not encourage me in any way.

Interesting. For 668hp, I just expected… a bit more. It was quick, but certainly didn’t feel 668hp quick. The quandary of test drives. I certainly wouldn’t buy a car like this if I weren’t permitted to properly test drive it. Catch-22.

Thanks on the dealer suggestions. I might be able to secure one elsewhere, will know on Monday. I stopped by Delaware Cadillac today to check out some 2024s they have on the lot, my first in person experience with the car. Questions: What exactly are the differences between the performance...

Hmm, I guess that’s exposing some incompetence inside the local dealers I’ve contacted. There wasn’t even an offer to get on a waitlist, I was just told all their 2025s were spoken for (with the dealers that even responded). Are there any recommended Blackwing specialist dealers in the PA, NJ...
