Finally!!! I get some quality time with the utterly unhinged, rear wheel drive, 668 horsepower supercharged Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. This one was equipped with the fantastic 6-speed manual transmission, winter tires, finished in a sexy shade of Electric Blue and sounds exactly as epic as you think it should. Join me as we spend a week experiencing the Blackwing, using it day to day, having some fun, and sharing some thoughts on how it compares to the little brother CT4-V Blackwing and German rivals like the BMW M5 CS! Make sure you also check out the full review that is up on the channel!

That cold start is just obnoxious. I love it!
The exhaust sound and manual gearbox 😍

Perfect combination
Love your vlogs !!! I do have a 2024 blackwing and it’s unbelievable !! You have to drive one to believe.. , if you can find them !! A very hard beast to get …,especially the manual .. 👍
Wow, really actually impressed with that exhaust. Usually its super quiet stock. I have a 2014 CTSV and my god was it quiet stock. Now it has long tube’s and corsa sport so i wake the dead. But that black wing sounds real good for stock.
That CTS-V would be the Cadillac to own if you can find one. These cars are going to be priceless when we end up with cars having a turbo 4 with 300 hp lol. This CTS-V is louder then my 2023 C8 3LT Z51.
Great video, such a sick car!
Your energy makes for some entertaining videos! Keep it up man

Lol your Costco comment is my experience too. Go there to buy toilet paper and spend $300 this past weekend. Good job returning the cart.
Never wanted a Cadillac before. Now…I want a Cadillac.
Love how obnoxious the cold start is😂 All the neighbors will be familiar with the new car. Edit: 17 gallon fuel tank on this thing. Definitely will go through it quickly!

The Escalade V was even more ridiculously loud haha.
This cars incredible. Having trouble deciding between this or rs6. Family of 4 and also live in cold weather climate. Thanks for the review!
Congratulations on an awesome car.
Damn, just a perfect combo of a vehicle. Review was great but always a fan of the 'Living with' videos as well for the normal daily abuse. One quick note, the CT5 V has the 3.0TT (LGY) while the CT4 Blackwing has the 3.6TT (LF4), though they may share some similar architecture, not sure. Anyway, dope video Eddie lol! And I'd personally be torn between this and the 4 blackwing.

Oh good to know. Wonder if it has to do with changes to accommodate AWD? Both Blackwings have their own set of pros and cons. Hard decision for sure haha

It's interesting how in the Touring mode they make the RPM so small...I get the lesser need for the automatic, but for manual RPM is still pretty important

Valid. I presume it’s cause the cluster is shared with the 10 speed auto
I have been considering trading my V wagon in on one of these, since my wagon is automatic. The problem I have is that I really don't feel the Blackwing would have the same appeal at car events that the wagon, or even my current daily (Chevy SS) has

I believe the most important person in that equation is yourself. I think if you test drive the Blackwing and you love it over your V Wagon then do it. And TBH I've seen more than a few V Wagons.

@@johvanortiz6267 Yeah I just think the Wagon has more of a wow factor. I know I'd like the drive of the Blackwing better, given its newer and better tech. But I'm a sucker for the LS platform so I'm having a hard time justifying the price with all the second guesses I have

To answer your question about the code on the steering wheel... The 8 is for 8 cylinder, the 6 is for 6 speed manual (10 speed auto would have a 1 instead), and then the production number is at the end.
amazing car. one would think it would actually have a black rear wing

Better to drive in every way. Hellcats are powerful and amusing, but just can’t put the power down. Hilarious burnout machines tho. This Blackwing is an actual performance sedan

I've got one and went auto. You miss out on too much like adaptive cruise and remote start with manual, plus I drove for years in our LA traffic with a manual and trust me that's going to be no fun in a 668hp car.
Your neighbors must hate you 😂
That and the M5 CS are the fastest sedans you've driven? What about the Charger Hellcat Redeye? Way more power, but no manual. Still impressive performance for less money than either of the 2 you mentioned.

Hellcat redeye is the slowest 800 horsepower car in the world. It can’t put the power down and does not handle well It’s absolutely hilarious but can’t compare to the Blackwing or M5.

It has impressive performance on the drag strip. That's it. Throw it a curve and it'll feel like an aircraft carrier compared to these sedans. Completely different class of vehicle.
Your friend is right, key fob should match car color not brake color.that is lame.
Is it me...or do those interior finishes look like something out of a car half this price?
The only relatively new Caddy I like are the CT6 that were normal American male sized vehicles. This is too small for a Caddy. This from a company that makes Escalade SMH 🤦♂️
It is ok looking but IMO CTS were better looking outside, albeit with a useless interior.
Sell those cars and get one of the blackwings
