Is will push you back into your seat. I tried rapid acceleration (22 5VBW) once and I could feel the back end trying to become the front in. I chickened out.

The only suggestion I have for a new BW owner is to accelerate soothly. If you “stomp down on it”, it will try to swap ends. Otherwise, enjoy your ride.

I am the guy that had the 22 CT5 BW engine come apart at around 5000 miles. Sewell picked up the car, left me a loaner, installed a new engine (including starter and battery) and bought the car back. All under warranty.

If you are willing to use a dealer outside your local area, I recommend Sewell Cadillac of Dallas TX. The have a reputation of having excellent customer service. Call Sewell, ask for Tatum Santeen in Sales. A lovely lady who works for her clients. Good luck.

I got the standard seats and they are fine. I had an ATS 4V (forerunner of the CT4 BW). It had the racing seats. I didn’t like them.

No additional problems. Replacement engine works fine

My kind of Cop!! I’m 86. If I committed a crime, I’d be dead by the time I was sentenced. Managed to survive 60 years of messing with airplanes., proving it’s better be lucky than good.

Which is why I would never live in NY of CA. The people who run those states are insane. In Texas, all you have to do to carry a weapon in your car is open the door and put the weapon inside. Like God intended.

My preferred anti theft device is a S&W Governor (.45 and 410 shotgun, interchangeably)

Nice.

I had a 2008 Corvette. Nice car. Entry and exit were often difficult and I thought it was noisy. I also had a Cadillac ATS -V Coupe (predecessor to CT4). The back seat was in usable. The CT5 BW seems to be a good compromise.

I considered “22CT5BW” or BLKWING Lots of fun tags. I have been reluctant to use an aggressive acceleration technique. I tried it once and could feel the car trying to swap ends. I never did that again. Search YouTube for video of a CT5V BW winning a race with a Corvette.

Zero to sixty in four seconds. 22 CT5V BW

Welcome. I don’t know about “lots of us”, but I’m just outside of Waxahachie. (Extra points if you can pronounce it). Sewell Cadillac of Dallas was my dealer.

Congratulations and welcome. Nice people here. You will like the 4BW.

Congratulations and welcome. I also have a 22 5BW. Nice car.. My Texas plate is “0260N4S”. Zero to sixty in 4 seconds.

Dave, I think all of us BW owner’s feel the same way. The cars are all around nice. Mine is a 22 CT5 BW. I didn’t buy it for the speed (specs say top speed is 200 mph), but for the acceleration. It doesn’t disappoint. My Texas plate is “0260N4S”. Zero to sixty in 4 Seconds. It certainly does that.

Welcome to the Blackwing world. Mine is also white. It’s a 22 5BW. The only suggestion I have is to apply acceleration power smoothly. If you “stomp down on it”, it will try to swap ends. Don’t ask how I know. Enjoy your ride.

I’m not saying I get a lot of stuff from Amazon, but I just got a wedding invitation from one of the drivers.

Beast is a good description. It was physically difficult to fly. In flight refueling was exhausting and the most physically and mentally difficult flying I ever did, in 50+ years of messing with airplanes. But it didn’t kill me and I’m happy about that.
