That's different from what I said:
I see two paths: First someone who doesn't have the option and wants to upgrade. Second, someone who wants to save money by getting the car with the option and then upgrading it with parts. In both of these cases, parts would be swapped.
The news.cadillac.com announcement lists the manual as 4302 and the automatic as 4275. Which seems backwards to me since the caranddriver.com article on the 2025 says the 2022 (M6) was 4092 and 4130 (A10).
If the ~4300 numbers are correct you have to wonder where all the extra weight comes from.
Thanks to Dustin, we now have V8V pricing: $18000 (which includes the J57 carbon ceramic brakes). I've seen some posts say "it's just bushings and calibration" which didn't match what I've read so I thought I'd dig in a bit.
The media release says:
Key Precision Package features include...
I was looking at this the other day and here are the part numbers I identified (note that the online dealer witesites don't include many details in the descriptions; for each part number I found I searched images to determine the color and button variant):

I recently reevaluated and my new plan is to do exactly that; get the seats, buy the exterior parts over the counter, and some combo of install myself or get a body shop to do it. But who knows, maybe 2025 is the model year where GM/Cadillac get their act together and I'll be able to order CF as...
The carbon fiber options are my biggest disappointment with the CT5-V Blackwing. If Cadillac/GM could have figured this out, I would already be driving one by now instead of waiting for years to place an order.
I was briefly encouraged when they raised the price on CF options by many thousands...
(Is there a reason that is a problem?)
Given that there appears to be 2025 BW orders happening, does anybody know what the new V8V option will cost? (Given the billet aluminum parts and revised calibrations I'm pretty much ok with whatever!)
The August 2nd print book (downloaded from www.gmfleetorderguide.com) now has the V8V option. It confirms that it requires RPO J57 carbon ceramic brakes.
When I was looking into neutering onstar in my 2nd gen CTS-V I considered using a 50Ω terminator but I was worried that the little ones couldn't handle the power so I got a 10W "dummy load" like this:
In the end I figured out the cellular modem (and GPS) was on a daughter card and I could...
The "new vehicle inventory" search on cadillac.com shows 18 2025, CT4-V (and 6 V-Series R) cars in transit. All are automatics and no blackwings are listed. The earliest estimated delivery date is July 1st.
