Caddy's run since 2009 with these performance sedans is perpetual works of art.

Best of 3? Caddy already won first 2, 3rd one was just rubbing salt in the wound lol

[gioosorio]

The Blackwing would be a huge upgrade for me

[markshpyrka]

Blackwing CT-5 is an absolute dream! It’s going to fit just right next to my wife’s Cadillac Escalade ❤🎉 we will finally have a his and hers!

[SSORET]

Thanks for having a review with cars that match each other without a lot of the BS in the background. Very good video. Thank you.

[deandraemarshall]

Love my Blackwing! Got in in a standard. Traded in my 2020 HC WB Charger this past January for
It.

That Ct5-V is def a nice upgrade, light weight and Fast.

Horse power doesn't mean anything good engineering is everything

[INumbaStunna]

Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is the only new car I care about in this new current car industry lol. Thing looks too good, and it has manual trans. Amazing to see what it can do! 😎

[rickintexas]

That was nuts! I expected the Hellcat to win. I need to seriously consider buying one of these Cadillacs.

[YangJr]

I thought the old CTSv was the best thing out then then I Raced a 23 CT5v Red and fell in love.

[chrishanosh]

In addition —-the Caddy has a brilliant chassis and can go around corners

[SC-surge]

I owned 2016 hellcat. Sold her last year. I’ve been looking at the blackwing for a minute. Might just get it.

[flyty]

Can’t wait till i bring this beast home!!❤

[isaiahranchero]

Love the fact that even tho the blacking is beautiful already, Hennessy takes it to another level

[samanosukeakechi]

Challengers are still badass, nothing better looking or sounding

[joshuat]

Ill take either. But if i had to choose? Its the Blackwing all day. Ive had 2 cadillacs in my 30 yrs. And there luxury is great. They float down the road lol. So all the cadillac luxury with 668hp too. You cant beat it. Plus everyone has hellcats anymore. It was the most sold cars the other yr. Everyone wants a charger or challenger. So i like to be different. And this cadillac is different. Only car people know. But the average person going to think you just got a cadillac until you smoke they a** lol.

[inhumanx]

It's probably due to the extra curb weight on the hellcat

[bhajans]

Amazing, I’ve seen other videos where the hell kid kills the CT five Blackwing, just goes to show it has a lot to do with who is driving the car, I love everything Cadillac so good for them.
