Separating CT4-V CT5-V CT6-V Blackwings

[demetrioshilas]

Any chance we can separate the different Blackwing Models into their own forums? I am a newbie to the GM world but it seems like all three models are totally different. If this is not allowed please delete.

We should be uniting, not dividing, during the Holiday season. However, I think that the manual-equipped CT5-V Blackwing should have its own forum since it's the best.

CT6 V does have it's own section, and before some one yells at you, it's not a Blackwing. The engine is. I think it's good to keep the 4 and 5 BW's together as a lot of things cross between both cars. Just my 2 cents.

When you start a new topic that's specific to one model or the other, you're able to indicate that.

Didn't know that, thanks!!

It's a drop down Prefix on the far left of the Title.

Agreed. Lets give us A10's the credit we deserve being the fastest.

We need to separate the real enthusiasts and the magazine racers.

I prefer the term, lazy.

Honestly with how few of the cars are out there even across CT4/CT5, we'd run the risk of the forums becoming a ghost town.

I prefer this version. Much more lively.

Resident shit-stirrer @Tall Steve used to be able to dunk on the rest of us by having both.

Now he's just a sad man with a CT5 and an Escalade.

I do find it interesting that this is now THE Blackwing forum but it definitely wasn’t not, and still is not, the busiest forum for CTS Vs and ATS Vs.

I think a lot of it is due to Rob doing all that incredible work with the order tracking. I think about 90 percent of the activity on this forum was harassing Rob about order status at that time.

Maybe we aren’t allowed to talk about the other forums here, but there is not nearly as much Blackwing activity in those other forums due to most of us being active here.

You don't have to have a manual to be a real enthusiast.

I prefer the term 'track-focused'
I prefer my A10 for the track and have other cars including a manual if I get the itch for something else.

A10 at spring mountain was just fine. At high rpms the shifts feel a bit rubbery but that's probably to protect the drivetrain

Could be, probably condition based which makes sense. I didn't notice at.Spring Mountain nor my local track which is significantly faster.

@rdollie I agree, the 5BW A10 I drove at Spring Mountain shifted lighting fast and crisp. When I was reviewing my PDR data, you could hear the same, super fast shifts. Maybe he is driving a 4BW…

@Grainofsand I would think Cadillac would be more concerned of protecting the drive train on manual cars dumping the clutch than an auto car shifting through the gears, lol.

When they did the fastest 0-150-0 testing, they used a 5BW A10 and you could hear the super fast crisp shifting. Glad they did which allowed the Cadillac to be rated the best and fastest sedan.

When you drive the faster (A10) of the two cars, its a natural hate response from the slower M6 crowd.

it is impressive when you listen to that video how quick the shifts are given its not a dual clutch

I have done the 0-150 and well not the other zero myself. The A10 is extremely quick!

 

[Slick Blackwings]

Our A10 is a glorious car, shift so fast any RPM. Haven’t heard of anyone complaining about grinding/ notchy feel or needing replacement of A10!
Both car are excellent, we have 6 speed being built now(3400) I’ll let you all know what we think of them after some miles it will be 1600 miles home upon pick up.

I've commented to others that the A10 is the fastest shifting automagic I've ever owned.
