Blackwing is not for everyone. You gotta want a sedan. A handful of members bought one and then traded for a vette. Some then dumped the vette. But there are others here who bought a CT5-V Blackwing in manual and have exhaled knowing we have a forever car. That's a great feeling.

How do you think I paid for the car?? ;) I have owned some spectacular pieces over many years. But as I age, I am minimizing material possessions. I have some inexpensive watches that I enjoy just as much as pricier ones. That is what the passion is all about. I am not a brand guy, and am...

I was torn between the white Speedy and the FOIS. My dealer had one of each and told me to choose. The dial on the FOIS is spectacular, but I have other pieces that are similar. Snow White was a good departure for me, and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't go wrong either way.

For a regular V, you can just count in your head :ROFLMAO: For a Blackwing... this is more my style.

For the Omega fans.

They are decent enough. I have owned a handful over almost 25 years now. I have never needed a service on a Panerai watch, and most models are simple enough that any competent watchmaker can handle a typical movement overhaul. Strap options galore, easily changed at your desk. I settled on a...

Great spec, lot of options for the price. GLWS!

Beautiful! My neighbor has one and rarely takes it out. I believe it is the same color as yours. Next time I see him I will ask. Thanks for your reply, Fish!

This is the 6MT CT5-V Blackwing special sauce, perfectly summarized. I could not agree more!

Yikes, I also forgot there are two of you! The other guy bailed and bought a Miata. Congrats on your new 5! Have you driven one yet? The driving experience is unlike any other. The manual Supercharged V8 is nothing short of brutal... and I mean that in the highest regard possible!

1. 6 years 70k powertrain warranty 2. There are over 5000 CT5-V Blackwings produced from 22-24. Somewhere you can find a thread on our forum where a guy lists every one he has found on the internet with a motor failure. It is maybe 30 or 35 cars? Out of 5000+. I'm not worried about mine. If...

I guess I never noticed how the 4 hood edge sits noticeably higher than the adjacent trim piece. Looks real pronounced on that purple car.

The book covers 20 years of V, so probably nothing on the 2025 precision package. I know it covers some of the limited version sticker cars like the Atlanta, Sebring, etc. And the 2023 120 cars. I don't have the book in front of me, but don't think it has the limited 20 cars for 2024.

As long as this is your thread, share a few pix of the 350! Bet you LOVE it (y)

Ordered this end of last year ahead of its release. Look forward to reading, especially about the older V cars. Almost 400 pages, great photos and high quality printing.

I thought there might be something about vinyl wrapping or at least debadging! 🤣

Should we set up odds on which resident ahole ruins this thread now?? I thought of making a similar post but skipped. You would hope people on a Cadillac forum can simply enjoy the photo and appreciate how baddass all the Caddies look! Thanks, RD, cool image in my book.

Exactly what I was saying. So it is fair to assume 2000+ 2024s were produced. Double the "whispers and rumors". Which also makes sense that they did not decrease production compared to 2022. And Cadillac had a very strong 2024. No way they only made 1000 CT5-V Blackwings.

The 1000 units per year "whisper" seems highly inaccurate. As quickag posted above, there an auto and possibly a manual for every number. I saw VINs on Cadillac's website for 2024s that ran into the 900s, so maybe 1600-1800 total +/- if manuals are a bit less than half of autos. There is also...
