The fact that a rear-drive only, manual Caddy is more than half a sec faster than BMW's sharpest model speaks volumes. Round of applause for the Blackwing!!

[cryalowicki]

Props to the editor for the sound mixing. Using the stereo sound to tell which car the commentary is coming from was clever and effective.

[Carfection]

Congratulations on the World Record! 👏👏👏👏

Wow, the Cadillac CT5-V blackwing chassis proves how good it handling really is. The fact that it was manual and did this well shows how amazing this car is!!! GM nailed it!!

[ItsTheNada]

This in the lead footage tells much more about these cars than just the lap time. WOW! That Blackwing is just enormously impressive. Wow!

[swanblake]

Love that a manual equipped CT5 BW really held its own while being significant more fun to drive.

[Private-Citizen]

Editors need a Christmas bonus along with the camera crew 👏🏽

This makes other car shows look lazy and dull. Props to the team for making car reviews interesting and quirky again.

Always love videos like this seeing where different cars make their lap time. The Caddy is impressive.

For car culture productions, it's you guys and Throttle House. Entertaining, informative, and just sumptuous to watch.

[motormusique]

That's why the Tesla Plaid didn't do particularly well on the Throttle House track - their track is tighter and doesn't have very long straights

Who'd have thunk 20 years ago 2 American companies would make the 2 fastest sedans in the world? And who in the hell would've known how truly different they would be.

[TheNightlessStar]

That Icons video was the best video I've ever seen of this nature. You guys did a remarkable job and people are missing out if they haven't watched it!

[StraightFocusedPhotography]

So impressive, all 3 from this episode bumped the whole list sedan.

[ernestomorales]

Love the Tesla Plaid but that Cadillac is something else !

[colinbrassington]

This was a brilliant bonus follow up to a fantastic video. Using the engine noise to augment where the contents were coming from was a stroke of genius

Very surprised at how much of that lap the Cadillac was in front.

[gm]

this is great would love to see a track overlay with more telemetry but these cars were pretty close to each other throughout its that thrust at the last straight that gets the tesla in front. I'll take the caddy

[rajeshwarsawh]

Is it me or is Cammisa carrying this channel with the most views out of everyone?

[claysmell]

wow can't believe the beemer didn't take the blackwing, that CTS - in a manual - is pretty impressive.

[toothferrin]

Thank you for the stereo sound and putting the silent Tesla in the middle
