Has anyone owned both 4vBW and 5vBW?

Had the 4 BW before upgrading to my 5. Don't drive track with either. Did spring Mountain with both, and did enjoy the 4 more there. I would NEVER go back though. The 5 is truly the cat's ass. I went from 2016 CTS-V to the 4, then to the 5. Lost my ass in the moves, but worth it. I'd love to have both the 4 and the 5, but garage space is maxed out!

Anything that you miss about the 4? Did it take a while to get used to the size difference?

Nothing with size difference. Don't miss the 4 at all, other than mine was a Road Atlanta special edition...looked AWESOME. Never had to worry about hitting the gas pedal too hard in it either. With the 5, there is always that sense that you can push it too hard for even all the safety nets to save you. That's why we buy them though, right?

Interesting thread. I drove an Viper ACR as my daily for 6 years. After years of driving the ACR I would agree with most the 650 HP on the street is the upper edge of streetability so I bought an ACRX for the track and an Miata for the street. It was the best decision I made on cars. The Miata was 10 times more fun to drive on the street then the ACR, obviously not as cool. I learned you drive a Miata for yourself and an ACR for other people. With all that being said I want to clarify I have a CT4V BW M6 and have had the opportunity to drive the Five. For me especially after Spring Mountain, the 4 with a TapOut Tuning tune is going to be my answer to the question between trading my 4 for a 5 or not. Yes from an investment stand point the 5 is the way to go but from a driving on the "street" for my own enjoyment the 4 is the answer. I buy cars to drive not invest.
