It’s BeamNG Drive simulation.

I heard there was a great Cadillac commercial during the 24hr of Rolex, it was a 5BW doing a pit stop I believe.
Anyone seen it? I want to.

I saw it after the race was over. Drift Metallic. I may have pee'd a little.

Here is the link of it on YouTube:

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing represents everything we love about sport sedans. There's no wrong reason to buy one.

"There is no wrong reason to buy one" is a strange statement. Is there a wrong reason to buy any performance car?

I suppose if the reason is to mow down a crowd of pedestrians. But that may be discounted if the buyer is a psychopath.

He makes it sound like tr6060 is done and the next hypothetical CT5BW if they make one might not have a manual option.

Cool history on the Tremec, but all the "future" stuff is just current fears and speculation. I don't think the BWs would have sold as well as they do if they didn't offer a manual as an option. Even if you're not a manual driver it helps the car distinguish itself as an enthusiast car amongst the other similar offerings and gain attention from reviewers.

I was also confused about his view of the future. I am not aware GM has said one way or the other whether the next gen CT5BW will or will not have a manual transmission.

I agree that many people who own a BW do so because it has a manual transmission. You can count me as one of them. If I wanted an automatic, I had many good choices. Wanting a manual, I only had one good choice.

If I was in the 5BW market for me it would be Audi RS6 avant or 5BW if I was looking at an auto.
Having less available funds for a car, the 4BW & M3 were manuals I was picking from and if you start looking at auto trannies there are so many options it would be an interesting shopping adventure.

Cannonball Run in under 30 hours with a 4BW.
