    2026 allocation

    After my 2025 order rolled into a 2026 it moved into accepted event (3000 I believe ) as soon as the book opened. It was built July 17th and arrived at the dealer Aug 5th by truck (in a box I was told) . That is super fast. My 2023 was built in October 2022 and did not arrive at the dealer...

    Patiently waiting for my 2026 CT5-V Blackwing

    My 2026 5BW manual went from a July 17th Production date to in my garage today so hopefully you will get yours soon. A Corolla it's not. You will love it.

    Switched Blackwings today!

    Enjoyed the heck out my Argent 2023 5BW but traded it today for a 2026 in the Typhoon color. Upgraded to black and natural top tier seats and the Bronze wheels. Went with the Blue calipers which, while mine is not, I believe is the standard color if you order the precision package. Was...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    I am fortunate enough to have the space and the memories are worth more than the money...so no. Oddly both the GN and the BW are cars most folks on the road know nothing about so, in general, they don't get noticed much. I , on the other hand, never see any others on the road and that's the...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Never did sell mine which I purchased new. Original paint and still riding on the original brakes with only 25K on the clock. Only recent picture I have is on my lift. It will survive me for certain .

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    I live along the shore in south Jersey and drive the Parkway up and down to Elizabeth once a week. I have never seen another 5 BW...and only one 4 BW. My neighbor has a 23' collector edition but its been in his garage since new. Guess he thinks it will be another Buick GNX. Joe

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    I traded an Audi S7 (V8 BiTurbo) for the BW. Was considering the RS7 as the natural progression but had the hankering for a manual. As much as I don't regret the move, it would be unfair to say the Cad in any way feels as nice as slipping into the Audi. The S7 was sexy, whereas the 5BW is a...

    What is that green ring around the gear indicator

    I have also heard, though I did not verify, that even with the 6MT, if you mess with the transmission setting in MY MODE, it will affect when the green turns to yellow. Remember "trust but verify" :-)

    It really can go either way. I have heard the 4BW handles the twisties better while the 5 is surely the beast on the straights. Either way, first timers will surly appreciate what both cars can do vs. every day driving.

    Hey Ernie, safe travels as well. See you next week.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I'm headed to SM next week (8th and 9th) with my son. I was there last year driving the C8s so I kinda know what to expect. Driving both cars , the Corvette seems more stable when driven hard into the turns. I have not pushed the 5BW as hard so I am anxious to see how well it compares. Never...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I now recall looking at the Apex . The offset is closer to stock. Thanks for the reminder @Dirkbg. I had a Joe Biden moment. Definitely on my short list. For the 5BW, does anyone know the "range" of acceptable offset for front and rear? Am I correct that "less" positive offset than stock...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I picked up one of the last sets of the stock size all seasons Coopers from TR, which I will mount on my OEM wheels. I was only looking for cold weather tires...not for snow or ice. These were the ONLY 305/30x19 I could find and I did not want to move to a more narrow tire. Now I am looking...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Like so many 5BW owners, I am trying to find both Ultra High Performance All Season tires and a set of winter use rims. The amount of discussion on the site gets confusing. Anything new on the availability of a staggered set up? 275/35-19 and either a 305 or 295/30-19? I don't plan to drive in...

    What did you trade?

    Traded a twin turbo Audi 7S. Like the BW, not a car you see on the road very often. The interior was much nicer but I was hankering to row the gears behind a V8 just one more time.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I managed to get a spot for December 8th , 9th on site. I was fortunate to be there last year following the purchase of C8. Chevy paid for 1 night , Cadillac pays for 2. Its a great experience. Everyone there provided for a great time. Don't expect a fancy room but they are clean and...

    I received nothing by email,mail or the app. I'll reach out to the Cadillac folks. Thanks to all that replied.

    Thanks...as an aside, I was notified about the discounted fee directly by Chevrolet after buying the Corvette. Why would Cadillac not do the same especially considering their dealers don't even know.
