    Bald Guy has landed! =D

    Welcome. Nice people here. The only suggestion I have, is to be cautious in applying engine acceleration. If you “stomp down on it”, it will try to swap ends, which can be awkward. And dangerous. (Don’t ask how I know).

    No real drama. I was on a low traffic country road, driving at the posted speed limit when someone (one of the idiots that you see weaving in and out traffic) passed me.

    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.

    New Guy. How can I tell the best dealer to go to for service for a new 2026 CT5-V Blackwing?

    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.

    New Guy. How can I tell the best dealer to go to for service for a new 2026 CT5-V Blackwing?

    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.

    5BW Most Comfortable Daily/Long Trip Seats

    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.

    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.

    my monster ct5-V blackwing

    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.

    Hello from DFW

    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.

    Hello from DFW

    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.
