Hello, I’m Philip

I got my Blackwing a few weeks ago. First GM product for me…and it’s awesome! I originally put an order in last October, but after no updates for 8 months I bought one with the same specs that was already at a dealership. Planning on going to the V performance academy at some point.

Welcome, I'm also new, buying a 4BW in the next few days and have orders placed for a personaly specced one.

Do you have experience with similar cars and how would you compare the 4BW with them ?

 

[AACaptRet]

I have had a Corvette, a Cadillac CTS-V, and a Cadillac ATS-V. The CT5 V BW tops them all.

Agreed - light years above the V2 and I prefer it to my C8

As nice as the Corvette was, ingress and egress were difficult and it was noisy.

Nice! Welcome. Well, I’m still under 500 miles so haven’t opened it up yet. I’ve owned a Focus ST, BMW 135i, and multiple WRX/STIs. As far as exterior, interior, and driving feel the 4BW is far superior. Even just feeling half throttle and taking a few curves very spirited, it’s obvious the 4BW is very stable and planted. That’s something I would have to upgrade to performance parts to achieve in previous cars.

I agree! I had never seen it in person until my car was delivered, so I was nervous.
