Best car I've owned

[CaddyAg]

I don't post much, but have to say this CT5-V BW is the best car I've owned. It does it all. Its fast as hell, loud when you want it to be, has an amazing exhaust note, comfortable, has room for the kids in the back, and enough of a sleeper that only real car guys appreciate it. Plus, this unique drift metallic light blue turns a few heads. I've had BMW M's and vettes which have their pros / cons, but I think I have truly fallen in love with this BW for how incredibly versatile it is. Rowing through the gears with the windows down on one of the few nice weather days in Houston just makes you happy. Well done GM.

We clearly are all completely biased on this matter lol. Yet somehow it plays as the most legitimate bias known to mankind. There's just nothing better on the road south of $200K. Period.

GM had a huge focus on driver feedback. That is a huge differentiator from a lot of vehicles in its class. A lot of performance models are made with too many electronic components trying to make the car handle better. It givies the driver a numb feeling while driving.

When they were designing it, they thought of two things.
1. How would I want mine to drive?
2. Will this be the last gas V/Blackwing from Cadillac?

Even the exhaust sound was meticulously planned to be the exact note and decible that it is. I am not sure how many versions they had to make to get where it is now, but I am willing to bet it was a lot.

Brandon Vivian who is the Cadillac Executive Chief Engineer talks a lot about how much passion they put into designing the Blackwings. It is very cool to hear him talk about it.
