Most underrated car on the market

It's because of the price, you're not gonna see many modified and showing up to race. The one sitting on lot near me is for $131,000. That's a lot of money for a caddy because day I drive it off the lot the resale will drop to $85,000.
Best of 3? Caddy already won first 2, 3rd one was just rubbing salt in the wound lol

luxury AND performance. gotta love it
Loved the video , straight to the point .
Ill take either. But if i had to choose? Its the Blackwing all day. Ive had 2 cadillacs in my 30 yrs. And there luxury is great. They float down the road lol. So all the cadillac luxury with 668hp too. You cant beat it. Plus everyone has hellcats anymore. It was the most sold cars the other yr. Everyone wants a charger or challenger. So i like to be different. And this cadillac is different. Only car people know. But the average person going to think you just got a cadillac until you smoke they a** lol.
It's probably due to the extra curb weight on the hellcat

Yea true but there are a few factors with this type of racing. They were drag racing both automatics. Straight run no steering. Anyone can jump in a car and drive straight mashing the pedal. Really doesn't take a good driver. Just pay attention. Now if that was a track race then yes driver skill plays a high part. I'm a former drag car driver street and track.

Don't know about the Dodge, ( 'cause I would never buy one) but the Caddy comes STANDARD with a proper 6-speed stick....and there is more than just straight line acceleration...the Blackwing knows its way around the curves, making it the all around BEST American buy short of the Vette ZR1...
