Beast unleashed!

Now that I've passed the 500 mile mark and had the opportunity to experience some more spirited driving I can unequivocally state that this is without a doubt the fastest car I've ever owned. I've had some fast cars too including a big block Corvette, Grand National and numerous big block Mopars. It isn't the best handling car I've ever owned but it's amazing for a big heavy sedan!

How does it compare to the Porsche? I know there’s no substitute…but…?

It's definitely faster but the Porsche is bit more nimble! They both have their strengths though!

But it's the best handling sedan you have ever owned?

I haven't dipped a toe in the German waters, but my 5BW is the best handling car I have owned. Cheers to A-dub finally giving his 'wing the business.

Without a doubt!! Honestly I don't have much experience with sedans though.

The Porsche is amazing but the best handling car I’ve ever owned was a Lotus Elise. These cars are incredible but there's no way they'll ever be able to out handle a 1900 lb. mid engine sports car!
What makes the Blackwings shine is that they can do it all and do it well!

Best color. I lived in Long Island for a bit and there was an orange one in the neighborhood.

I saw one in Watkins Glen at the Grand Prix festival in 2005 and was totally impressed! After reading the reviews I had to have one and it had to Chrome Orange! I bought it new in 2006. Wish I still had it!!
