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.
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 .. 👍
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!
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
I see all these other cool new cars that I love but I ALWAYS come back to the Blackwing. It’s like GM said “ok ok here’s what you’ve been asking for, now shut up”
Hey man, huge fan of the content. One of the things I’ve wondered is how you get to spend a whole week with these cars! Do you rent or are they lent from local dealerships? I’m very curious to know!
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.
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
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
Struggling to make up my mind in this one 😅 4 is smaller, cheaper and more nimble. But the 5V is a monster. If I’m being responsible…the 4V. But in my heart I want the supercharged V8
I’m sure it’s cool but I would never get it in manual. I currently drive a 2020 GT350 and I’m contemplating trading it in for one of these once I have it paid off. I’d go auto, though.
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.
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.
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 🤦♂️
Classic GM. Spend a ton on marketing and come up with a name like V brand, throw it in trash and come up with something new that no one understands named Blackwing. Meanwhile BMW just makes M cars for ever.
To be fair blackwing seems and sounds that it's better than a regular V-series which it is. Also BMW has their M cars, then the M competition, and then the M CS
It's so funny watching three different people do their impression of the car which the car is badass I own it. But at the same time to see these people the way they react about the car is just absolutely ridiculous and plus they honestly don't really know what the hell they're talking about
I still do not recommend this car for a young man like you who owns coupes. You need a SUV. Either new Yukon Denali or new Hummer SUV instead of that useless Audi.
That cold start is just obnoxious. I love it!
The exhaust sound and manual gearbox 😍
Perfect combination
Your energy makes for some entertaining videos! Keep it up man
Thank you!!
Great video, such a sick car!

86-499 on steering wheel. 8=v8, 6=manual,xxx=chassis number
Never wanted a Cadillac before. Now…I want a Cadillac.
Congratulations on an awesome car.

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.
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!

Its so good great reviews you need one Eddie, tuxedo in a z06!
Z06 in a tux is accurate haha
Definitely shoulda put a vented hood on these
Love my blackwing!! So fun !
Did you finance yours or is it paid off? And how much was it after all the fees leaving the dealership?
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
And thanks to Forza Horizon 5 latest update news, you can drive the Blackwing in the game soon. CT5 & CT4 are coming. 🔥
Oh that’s cool
I see all these other cool new cars that I love but I ALWAYS come back to the Blackwing. It’s like GM said “ok ok here’s what you’ve been asking for, now shut up”
Exactly
I wish it was still available as a wagon 🥲
that thing is bad ass
Amazing. Prefer it to the current M5!
Hey man, huge fan of the content. One of the things I’ve wondered is how you get to spend a whole week with these cars! Do you rent or are they lent from local dealerships? I’m very curious to know!
These are press cars from the manufacturer!
Eddie !! Do a review on a 2019 CTSV !!!
Would have to try and find one! Maybe this summer :)
amazing car. one would think it would actually have a black rear wing
My CT-4 V Blackwing has a black rear wing spoiler!

Sounds like an exercise in frustration just like riding a liter super bike on the street.
01:28 - How does it compare to the Charger daemon red-eye Eddie?

Glad to see Cadillac is using the same winter tire setup on their press cars that I bought for mine.
Will need a cold weather tire set up here. What is your setup?
@@dougm8050 Pirelli 265/35R19 Sottozero Serie II (Mercedes spec) for the front, 295/30R19 Sottozero Serie II (Porsche spec) on the rear.
After living with both the ct4 and ct5 blackwing? Would you go 4 or 5 for daily use?
Struggling to make up my mind in this one 😅 4 is smaller, cheaper and more nimble. But the 5V is a monster.
If I’m being responsible…the 4V. But in my heart I want the supercharged V8
@@EddieX Thanks for the reply.. Do you also find the CT5 more comfortable ridewise?
Is that the same blue as the Vette
Yep! Electric blue = rapid blue
That 3.0 twin turbo is not shared with the ct4
Your neighbors must hate you 😂
I’m sure it’s cool but I would never get it in manual. I currently drive a 2020 GT350 and I’m contemplating trading it in for one of these once I have it paid off. I’d go auto, though.
Also have a GT350 and considering one or a 4V when we have kids. I'd go manual all day versus the slushbox auto in these.

I dont think SHE cares! Drop out at the first light. Smokey burnout!! Next!
Is it me...or do those interior finishes look like something out of a car half this price?
Your friend is right, key fob should match car color not brake color.that is lame.
All that is cool, but without tint that is a minivan.
I’ll take a 700hp minivan happily
@@EddieX As would I, sir, as would I 🙂
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
Or just buy a Blackwing lol
@@EddieX nah to many cars. Mustang needs to go. And no need for the R8 lol
Yeah no sports cars should have bigger wheels than 19s.
Classic GM. Spend a ton on marketing and come up with a name like V brand, throw it in trash and come up with something new that no one understands named Blackwing. Meanwhile BMW just makes M cars for ever.
very very very classic GM moves. also approaches like the Chevy SS. the unorthodox characteristics of the 8 speed auto. Just random GM shenanigans
To be fair blackwing seems and sounds that it's better than a regular V-series which it is. Also BMW has their M cars, then the M competition, and then the M CS
I’d give this car to my bih if I was rich lol it’s honestly too small for guys
The blackwing name actually fits the car perfectly imo
Might look up why it's called a Blackwing to better understand.
Lol interior full of V logos and no black wings.
Your Z06 is next level, do not compare this pretender to it.
It's so funny watching three different people do their impression of the car which the car is badass I own it. But at the same time to see these people the way they react about the car is just absolutely ridiculous and plus they honestly don't really know what the hell they're talking about
AVP 👽
I bet / ... Sweet ,/ oh wow / .../ Factory 🏭???/ I bet /
Sick car but im afraid it will be obsolete to EVs in the very near future.
Not at all
@EddieX Aren't manufacturers going all electric? One does, rest will follow suit.
@@ARon82 doesn't make this obsolete in any way
@EddieX Yes it does, car is based on old technology that won't be produced anymore.
@@ARon82 haha. No.
Y7uuú
Over priced with not much luxury features 👎🏾
Definitely not overpriced.
I still do not recommend this car for a young man like you who owns coupes. You need a SUV. Either new Yukon Denali or new Hummer SUV instead of that useless Audi.
Too small for me. Could see women driving this
Lol $90,000 for this. Just lol. Get a Tesla model 3 performance and destroy this.
Uh. No.
@@EddieX 😆 🍻
Destroy it where? Certainly not on a track.
I know he didnt say get a tesla model 3 🤦🏾♂️
Lol on getting a overpriced ev
Aww you poor thing.. having to live with that lol
That thing sounds like it wants to beat the shit out of you when you start it. Most impressive
108k????? WTF why? My uncle got his for nearly half that. Who the Hell is paying that much for a Cadillac??? P Diddy?
You can’t be serious
@@EddieX 100 percent serious. You paid 108k for this thing??? You're an idiot.
