I agree with all of this. I traded my A90 Supra in for an orange 4-Blackwing with a stick. Zero regrets. Absolutely fabulous car

[hansporras]

Seems like it’s a perfect balance of luxury and American muscle. I actually like the simplicity of the interior and the sleeper like exterior.

James getting scared while Thomas drifting through the corners is too funny to me LMAO

[YellowLightNinja]

As an ATS owner, it makes me so happy to see its successor getting such high praises. The ATS/ct4 are criminally underrated for what they offer

[maximus]

Everytime a new car is track tested and put onto the list, I keep balking at the fact that the SS 1LE is way higher than it has any right to be. It's so damn impressive if you look at the cars that are around it. GM kills it with their performance cars. But also, GM kills their performance cars. RIP Camaro

Sold my 2020 M2 competition for my CT4 Blackwing. Could not be happier.

[bryantcurtis]

The best praise you could ever give for this far, Thomas trading in the M2.

My ct4 blackwing just put down ~590whp, a bit more than a stock ct5bw. Traction is a thing of the past in 1st and 2nd. It's an absolute treat.

[orbitaljunkie]

What a timeline when a Caddy has better steering and shift feel than a bimmer. But yeah I agree.

[GeronimoBiggles]

I've been waiting for this review for 2 years. Makes me even more proud to own one!

[slasheerr]

I was driving on West side highway in NYC at night where you could see the New Jersey by the water and this thing came as fast as it could and just cut through traffic, made several lane changes and vanished in the night by the moon. I love that memory!! Also it crackles and burbles so good and unlike BMW, it sounds authentic! :)

[bleckndecker]

Picked mine up last weekend. Traded an F80 M3. Great car.

As a current Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio owner, I'm really curious how the QV and the CT4V Blackwing compare. Would love to see a comparison video! Thanks

[markcassle]

Wonderful, wonderful car. If I was looking for a sport sedan, this would be it hands down.

[andrewwerdna]

It’s a great car and really engaging. Not to mention in that Cadillac sends you to spring mountain motor park to learn how to drive it like an idiot (on the track). The built in no-lift-shift and launch control are tons of fun. It’s not an M car but it’s very much it’s own thing and a blast at that.

[AMGrulz]

Kinda miss the old days when extrathrottlehouse videos would just end mid sente-

[tommarino]

Such a shame we don't get these in the UK, I think they would sell really well and keep the German brands looking over there shoulders. Especially now with BMWs recent form and AMGs C63 suicide, the caddy could come along and shake things up a bit.

[hugoalmanza]

Been waiting for you guys to review this car for 2 years. Finally!

[GERONIMO]

Man GM has just completely taken over. Of course you have the new Z06, both the CT5 and CT4 Blackwings, the ZL1 1LE, and SS 1LE, are all literally like the best performance cars per dollar on sale today. I would say the SS1LE is probably the best "bang for your buck", but all vehicles are UNREAL

[olivejuice]

Just as an fyi, it turned yellow because you hit the auto rev match button by accident. Also you can change traction with the clicker on the steering wheel - don’t have to open settings :)
