Finished an absolute mountain of yard work (14+ yards of mulch), opened a beer in celebration and found myself just looking at her instead of admiring the massive amount of mulch I'd moved.
I know I'm a bit odd duck so I ask you, am I alone in this? Are you just still captivated by your ride?
If so, lets see your favorite picture
Cheers!!!
I’ve had her a full 6 months and only 1 speeding ticket so far! Anyways, just wanted everyone to look at her. Probably going to get a good wash this morning.
Finally got my autox wheel/tires installed. Amazingly I got everything on sale.
As of April 30th, I'm officially an owner of a pretty much new 2025 ct4v blackwing. Had an owner before me and they put 24 miles on it.
Who really wants to drive around in an F1 advertisement? And only 17 more HP from a pulley and larger blower?
WTF
Once you go Blackwing, you don’t go back.
First ever Cadillac as well.
TLDR; What an amazing ride. It’s surprising how underrated this vehicle is to the masses.
If you care to read: I’ve had many cars in my life. From exotics to luxury to rugged overland trucks. Let me tell you that this CT5-V Blackwing is an incredible vehicle. I am a big fan of sleeper cars (ex. RS6) and this is such a great sleeper. I also love that you can buy this car in either a 6M or A10. It appeases both worlds. Lastly, the tech upgrades from the facelift, imo, has put this car ip there with the Germans in terms of interior quality. Sure, it’s still American but have you seen the new Mercedes Benz interiors lately? Plastic everywhere.
The performance from this relatively heavy 4 door midsize sedan is impressive on a track. Like, seriously hats off to Cadillac for building a car that beats some legendary European brands on the track. But the most impressive of all is the rawness that this car provides the driver. I haven’t puckered up my booty hole this much while driving since my 2015 Ford Mustang GT350.
Mods: Corsa Xtreme cat-back + JLT cold air intake
I’ve got some AL13 20” brushed aluminum wheels coming in the next month and will share pics once they’re on.
God bless the Blackwing.
Hey everyone, two years ago Monday, I picked up my brand new 2024 CT4V Blackwing in Coastal Blue with bronze wheels and fully loaded except for a sunroof. A week later, my wife's position at work was eliminated (she found another job quickly but made us think a lot about finances), and 6 months later we made the hard decision to sell the Blackwing to pay off her 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport as well as our 2 1/2 year old daughter's medical bills (not a ton but was adding up), and bought a WRX to keep me entertained for a bit.
A few weeks ago, I found out that CT4V Blackwing's production was coming to a close, so we looked at finances, and I sold a few things (I have a side gig buying/selling/trading guitars and workout equipment), and realized I could make another Blackwing happen. Two weeks ago, I signed the paperwork for a brand new 2026 in Coastal Blue, manual, with only the alcantara wheel/shifter and bronze wheels, and had it shipped to Nashville from San Diego. I got it last Friday with only 5 miles on it and needless to say, I'm crazy excited to have a Blackwing back. It's my favorite car I've ever driven and can't wait to get it to 1500 miles and let it rip!
After dreaming about owning a Blackwing for the longest time, and facing an order rejection due to the production halt, I finally got the chance to buy a fully loaded 2026 CT4-V Blackwing. The delivery is this Saturday.
As the title states I kicked around rims for a full year before I saw these and was sold, absolutely love the look and think it finishes the tough look I was going for! 19x9.5 fronts and 19x11 rears. Pilot Sport 4s up front and Mickey Thompson ET Streets out the back 305’s. Car is complete bolt ons, stainless works headers, corso exhaust, solare throttle body, Dsx billet supercharger lid, 2.3 upper pulley, lmp heat exchanger, and intercooler pump. Car absolutely screams and I couldn’t be happier with it!
What do you guys think?
Hit the gym at 5:00am and walked out a bit after 6:00am to find numerous vehicles with their windows busted out, including mine.
What do yall do when you see another V or BW. I’ve thrown up the “W” and got a look like I was throwing up westside and I’ve also thrown up the “V” and got a look like I was saying peace 😂😂this is one of the few times I wish my CT5 was a 6 speed so I could red line it. I still love my 10 speed tho.
Three years ago, I bought what I thought was my dream car. I had so much fun with my CT4 BW AT, but I never quite got over not having a 6MT or the bigger car.
After two years and the realization that my chances were limited, I finally pulled the trigger on what I really wanted. Dammit it’s a lot of money but so far I haven’t regretted it for a moment.
This thing is like a caged bear. There is the thinnest line (bar) between you and absolute carnage. It’s amazing. The lines are so sexy, the power is unmatched and the MT keeps you awake and alive.
Thinking if I trade mine in and finance the rest for 209 months, I should be good 😂😂
