That dig race was as close to a draw as you could get. Pretty much comes down to whoever took a bigger 💩 just before.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They should have used launch control on the cadillac
Please do more content like this Sam, we need more mid tier car comparisons. 230i, S3, CLA 35, CT4 V, V6 camaro, Guilia, q60, RC 350 and much more. Most people are not buying the top trim vehicles, even though they are still interesting to watch.
Absolutely
@@SamCarLegion ct5 v as well please
@@victorvalera9304 would like to the the 4cyl Supra against a Golf R, Elantra N and Civic Type R.
CT4 V 2.7T RWD magnetic ride (only the RWD version gets the brilliant magnetic ride suspension) is one of the most underrated cars and a bargain. Also Supercruise (best driver assist) is now optional for CT4.
Thanks for the CT4-V (non-Blackwing) content. It is sooooo hard to find any content on it, especially that now the Blackwing is released. The regular CT4-V content has dried up. From everything thing I've read it is a very good driver's car. One of the best handling of the compact/subcompact sport sedans, especially the RWD version with magnetic suspense.
Hope to see it more on this channel. Would love to see it compared against the Audi S3, Golf R and Alfa Romero Giulia. I think one of the bigger problems, at least in USA, is that the CT4-V and M240i XDrive start around the same price. The M240i is significantly faster. and I wouldn't be surprised if the interior quality is better as well. So if you don't need the back doors and back seat space then it's probably a better buy.
EDIT: Also the Genesis G70 turbo 6 is in the same starting price range of CT4-V.
The blackwing is faster than the m240i
@@user-bn3wz1se6l yeah but I'm not talking about the Blackwing. I'm talking about the regular CT4-V that's featured in this video. It's around the same price as the M240i
@@user-bn3wz1se6l not much faster, it’s actually pretty close. The M240i gets to 60 and 100mph quicker, gets through the quarter mile 3 tenths quicker (at 2mph slower in awd form) and they both reach 130mph in the same time.
If the M240i was rwd, it would have a higher trap speed and be quicker.
At least those are the best test numbers on the stock cars.
@@user-bn3wz1se6l stay on topic lol. Nobody is talking about the black wing
@@Maljey This is what happens to a lot of "little brother" cars. People compeletely forget about them but theres a lot of mid tier cars out there that don't get the attention they deserve. ct4 V, 230i, CLA35, S3. All these cars absolutely kick ass and they get overshadowed because they aren't the full spec trim or not as cheap as something like an Elantra N. I have a 230I and it is difficult to find good content on it. Mostly a buch of youtubers saying the same thing and reading off the same spec sheet. While I did go BMW, the CT4 V was also on my radar when I was shopping.
The ct4v awd version is actually 3760lbs curb weight so little more impressive given the weight difference. The torque really holds it to be competitive, but the rwd model is slightly faster and has mag ride.
The Caddy also has a bigger capacity engine 2.7 as opposed to 2.0. It's fairly balanced out
CT4 is fighting a price class lower than it really is, it's essentially a redesigned ATS which used to be in the C-Class/3-series/A4 size bracket.
@@tonicipriani this may be true but the fact stands that it's the same price as other competitors this class. You're basically getting a car that's competitive but yet a little bigger for the lower priced money. That's a pretty good deal for the consumer!
@@dayalanvelan3070 who cares..
This was so much fun, thanks for having me out for the race Sam! - Kevin
yeah that,was you
it’s so interesting all these major manufacturers came out with the same transmission type in their sportiest cars. The 10 speed is a common denominator in the Explorer ST, CT4V & CT5V including blackwing models ,Accord 2.0, Escalade V, Camaro . It’s very clear they were onto something with this transmission type because all of these cars launch off the line adequately.
Cadillac definitely needs more praise these are the best looking caddies ever they went all out for their last generation of combustion based vehicles
I NEED to see more videos with the CT4-V. The Blackwing is great but that 4 banger is insane for the displacement.
Lol Mercedes A45S AMG makes 421 hp... destroys the Cadillac.
@@paname514 Relax fanboy.
@@mecampbell30 touché
Both women cars
@@brandonUwanawich954 Double touché. Ashamed your "man car" is destroyed by a small displacement four pot?
There needs to be side by side spec sheet at some point to pause and look it over.
Also post the 0-60 when you do the finish line run.
agreed. hoonigan channel does that on their "this vs that" which is nice
Sam, excellent putting those two together, sometimes you have to read between the lines on specs. Great race!
TY for sharing these ... Both seem bit underrated for what they offer
The back of that AMG looks so nice!! Perfect styling. I’d definitely buy a C43 AMG Wagon as my forever car.
yes let me pay over 70K for a 4 cylinder AMG.. that's clown world, m340i smokes it and is cheaper
@@roboticvenom1935 The AMG in the race is a 4cylinder yes. However the one I’d buy is the C43 which has a V6. And it’s not always about which ones faster, maybe for some people but not for everyone. Peace.
Till you need to repair it lol
@@roboticvenom1935 if you got money, you dont care. There's a reason mercedes is mire expensive, because you have to put in interior luxury as a consideration, which is definitely better than bmw. And I've a g80 m3, which has pretty standard interior, compared to an entry level amg
@Robotic Venom 70k that's literally hellcat money bro ahaha
As a cla35 owner, I gotta give it up to Cadillac. The V models are for real
Great pairing Sam, thanks so much!
Thank you!
I own a 2018 ATS V, and I LOVE it!!
The roll races are a great example of how gearing can really make a difference on the ideal start speed. A lot of Hellcat owners pick 60 because it will downshift in auto and hit an ideal gear for peak performance. Any other speed and you really need to know how to manually force it down or you’re likely going to lose. Great races and this was a very good matchup. I was very surprised by the results.
I love the race. Nice to see a CT4 V in action. I would love to see the CT5 V (not Blackwing) against its competitors.
Haha love the friendly banter at the start 😂
That race from a dig was so close that it came down to reaction time, great race!!
Nice!
Interesting, very!
Well done.
:)
That CLA 35 interior... Holy crap it looks good!
You can actually own it my friend. Ask me how
had a 2014 CTS V-sport. That baby was full size but it was moving. Not suitable for the Canadian winter but I miss it.
That was really good race,it had me on the edge of my seat. 😎
You can actually own it my friend. Ask me how
The interior of the Cadillac look well built. My 22 CLA45 interior is loose with creaks and rattles and I am at 1400 miles. Pretty much the same as my older 17 C63S Coupe so guess it’s a Benz feature
@hotdognobun agreed bro. I have a glb 35 amg and the same interior woes. Not what you’d expect from A MB but in the forums. A lot of folks with the lower class mags have these issues
Nice race!
Good video. I love it
You can actually own it my friend. Ask me how
Like before seeing the video 👍
Excellent,I love German go fast engineering, but what I love most is a good underdog, comeback to glory, return to greatness story, and the V series has done that for the Cadillac brand as a whole
Cadillac still slower than A45S AMG
@@paname514 no shit?!?! also cadillac ct 5 v blackwing shits on the AMG's competition mate..
@@roboticvenom1935 Lol no.
AMG E63 S 0-100 km/h in 3.4s
CT5V 0-97 km/h in 3.4s... with 50 more hp and less luxury.
@@paname514 its more than jus stats lmao, blackwings are way more fun to drive and the handling is unlike any other car on the market atm, it also sounds way better and looks better imo
@@ericchavez338 Lol no. Now disappointed that Mercedes has a 476 PS inline four?
So much for the CLA getting “SMOKED” 😂 Great video and race
😂
Sam I've been waiting for this video. The Cadillac v series have been somewhat forgotten. I would love to see the Cadillac CT5-V vs the Kia stinger or the Genesis g70.
Hard to find one of those
Like 👍 very cool thanks ♥️
Great stuff bro, you should bring the ct5 v as well competing with Kia stinger and charger scat pack if anything
Hard to find one :((
I'd love to see the CLA 35AMG vs the elantra N
2022 Cadillac CT4 Blackwing vs Lexus IS500 is a race that needs to happen asap, also the GS F/IS500 vs Infiniti Q50 RS just for argument sake
Amazing engine, same silverado engine
"Cadillac has a fanbase that they are dying" 🤣🤣🤣
This goes down the history
Really like the new Cadillacs these days. Such a good looking car.
At first; I thought that 4 was a Blackwing … was thinking something is very wrong with the driver, but the regular 4V still did pretty good. Love that Cadillac! 👍🏻
The 4 popper in the CT4V has incredible low end torque. It does fall off around the 5800 rpm range, however.
Interesting race and for sure both of them are very close I would love to see the Elantra N Dct go up against the CLA35 AMG that would be interesting to watch sam
I think the Acura Type S should have been in this one. All three would have been great to see run against one another. Even though type S had about 30+ more HP. It's heavier. This was a great comparison.
yeah just don't put the old stinger or m235i in there LMFAO
You pointed out something I noticed with my Cadillac ATS premium 2.0T is that Cadillac trans is good but badly needs a dual clutch.
Nah gm 8 speed is fast as hell, cadillac just tuned yours to be gentle. Go drive an 8 speed camaro or corvette. They are actually tuned for performance.
@@user-yq6ov6ow7l this may be correct but In sport mode it’s amazing
Is the cla35 4 wheel drive as well?
That was a REALLY good match up. Thanks Sam.
Now we need to see a 4BW vs CLA45.
Ah yes. Good ol’ Kevin!
Great matchup! Why no brake boosting in the dig race?
Because they had launch control. 🙄
Thanks for telling me what I already know!
Try the c43 vs ct5v
Love this video....was looking at both of these cars for a future purchase...you must be psychic.... still on the fence ...looked at the Wrangler too so...,.thing I don't like is putting an AMG and V badge on a 4 cylinder..you're right...neither car gets the hype
Should do the 2.0 Supra vs that Cadillac
I own a ct4-v! 2020, I beat a lot of things unexpectedly 0-60, especially if I’m in launch control I’ve even beaten a lot of stick v8’s as they spins lol , evo/wrx killer , but any v8 beats me at a 60 roll unfortunately and that showed here . It’s not geared high end at all . Electronically limited to 140.
Can we see a CT5 V(Not the black wing edition) vs Scat Pack… nobody has vids of the CT5 V
Can’t imagine which one is better built.
Id still get the Cadd, it pulls base Silverados for a living and a handheld tune will really wake it up.
You should pair those 2 up wth the bmw m235i grandcoupe
Please
CT4 V BLACKWING VS BMW M3
Both I would like to own lol sweet rides ...I. there own way
"There's something bout my Benzo..." Sir Mix-Alot
Would be awesome to see a MK8 Golf R go up against these two.
The Golf is a hatchback; these are traditional sedans.
@@ytsux9259 then the S3
I'm really interested in the Ct4v and you are right it is not known by the public and that makes it interesting. Have you driven the Blackwing? Are they similar in terms of handling?
Just raced one
Possible to see race of this ct4V against tlx 2.0t or g70 2.5t
Nothing beats a Cadillac for the price you pay for one.
I'd take an rwd based Ct4 over the fwd platform of the cla anyday.
Same here.
In a few years you'll be able to hear crickets instead of exhaust lol.
It's already happening with electric cars
Sad that Cadillac and Mercedes are throwing V and AMG on things that should not qualify…. Smh. Those badges used to mean something.
I mean the only cars that were ever Vs for Cadillac beyond 1 generation was the CTS so not sure what you mean. About used to mean something it used to mean back of the pack performance.....also the 190e Evo had a 4 cylinder and certainly this ClA35 is quicker than earlier compact AMGs and handle better
I agree. These 4 cylinders should not have those badges.
this is not even a real amg lol, these engines are not hand build
@@ytsux9259 your slow asf that’s a real amg tell me a 4 cylinder that’s pushing more horsepower than a cla 35 or a cla45 you clearly don’t know shit about cars Mercedes knows what there doing 🤡
How much for the tune on that benz
CT4-v blackwing vs mustang gt 10 speed?
What do you think is quicker, the is500 or ct4v?
is500 EASILY bruh what..
Let’s get Sam’s subscribers up… get him to 500,000 plus . I loveeeeeeee his channel
Thank you
@@SamCarLegion and you have the coolest accent . Spaniard? Italian? Portuguese?
Canadian accent ;)
Next Up: Scat pack vs CT4-V
CT5 V Blackwing vs 992 GT3
Suscribed
Welcome
Benz has 25 less hp… almost 100 lb less torque and still beat it… just goes to show it’s not just about numbers… comes down to engineering
And 3 gears less 😃 , but it weights less and in reality has around 320hp on dyno
The cla is faster at the top end the rest was just just both being in the wrong gear for the roll
I love Cadillac
I think he got you in the dig and if not anything after that he was gonna pull on you. Great race though
ELANTRA N VS VELOSTER N plsssss
Cant find a single video with them both stock
I would love to see this also. With the same transmission type on both. Fyi, it was announced today that the Veloster N will not be returning for 2023. 😢
@@wbwayne8887 yeah I got mine like 2 months back :)) . I wish the velo also came with like new drl headlight updates
This video shows elantra n stock vs veloster n stage 1, see what happens, so you don't really need to see stock vs stock, you'll know the results by watching that video.
@@mannyramos3045 which video
@@aadilfaizal853
That's awesome, enjoy it.
CLA has only 2000 cc, but it 's a wonderful performance.
Well A45S AMG also has 2 litre but with 421 PS. Even more wonderful
The biggest problem with the Caddy is that even while new it already looks dated.
It look dated in this video because of the angles .. if your driving past one your gonna look or someone else’s car in the parking lot . The face of the car makes you wanna touch the headlights because there so long
the exterior? nah
Gla45 AMG vs m401 x3!!!!!!
لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله
I have the 2021 amg cla 35, stage 2 with a armytrix exhaust and intake and ecu tune. fucking thing flys but I do wish it was a v8.
damn that sucks! you could've gotten a turbo v6 in that price range you muppet.. which would sound way WAY better and make more power because v6 turbos have a lot more overhead for squeezing power out of them, cla 35 isn't that good of a car and doesn't win many comparison tests, think with your head..
Remember the days when drivers were involved in driving?
Can you do the ct5v against bmw or Mercedes’
M340i and AMG A45s would be tough to beat in roll races. From a dig it would have a change against the rear-wheel drive M340i
Yeah either against the m340i or c43 amg
CT4 is the New ATS
Roughly 100 pound difference, 23 hp difference, way more torque and still gets out pulled by the Mercedes on the top end ... back to the drawing board Cadillac
I would take the ATS-V over both of these.
Whoever decided on the yellow banner during the spec showing needs to have their eyes checked.
Next ct4v blackwing
Why do u spoil the whole video from the beginning? Then what's the point?
Did u stop watching?
Cadillac doesn't get enough credibility because they toy with greatness and then retreat. Previous generation ATS and CTS came out with everything needed to be reckoned with. Then their replacements (CT5 and CT4) come to market with dorky and wonky styling and marginally better performance but in the overall they don't push the marque forward.
The race starts at 4:30.
The hp and tq seem higher then he said on the Mercedes.
Most German companies underrate their power figures. The 100+ pound lighter CLA35 probably makes roughly the same horsepower as CT4-V in real life and already "claims" a 15lb ft of torque advantage which may be slightly higher too.
The reason why the Cadillac doesn't get the attention is because they are too👈 expensive for the car. No point to try👈 to make noise they probably both have a limiter
So the Audi S3 and BMW M235i are more faster than the MB CLA35 and CT4-V
Mercedes A45 S AMG laughs at this
Yeah no one really knows about these cars, I wonder why? I’m sure price plus the dealer “market adjustment” has nothing to do with it.
American cara are just great in American Movies! In real life shit
Now take them to the tracks corners. It’ll be then you’ll know that Cadillac built a weapon.
@@layne4376 The regular V will out handle the CLA 35 AMG.
