- 2024 CT5-V Blackwing, 2020 CT6-V (The Original Blackwing Engine)
Hello All!
Purchased my 2024 CT5-V Blackwing new at the end of December from Penske in Torrance, CA. I live and work in Los Angeles and have affectionately named the car Bob Cat—a nod to the incredible lion featured on The Lion Whisperer YouTube channel.
I currently own three Cadillacs:
• 1985 Fleetwood Brougham
• 2020 CT6-V (the original Blackwing engine)
• And now the CT5-V Blackwing
There’s just something about the Cadillac brand I really luvv, even through the challenges (I’ve been back to the dealer 3 times in 6,000 miles). Buying American matters to me, and this car strikes the perfect balance of (almost) supercar performance, aggressive styling, a perfect exhaust note, and real-world usability. It draws just the right amount of attention: 90% of people don’t even notice, but the valet always parks it out front at a nice restaurant... if you have one you know what I mean.
Mine has the carbon fiber trim/wing, Eibach springs, and custom Signature Wheels, all installed by Auto Addict in Anaheim, CA. It’s set up just the way I want it (for now), but every car is a project, and I’m already exploring what’s next.
I'm here to see what fellow Blackwing owners across the country are up to, and get some ideas on some tires to find more rear wheel traction! That is my next upgrade for sure!
Looking forward to the conversations!
