2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Review // Ultimate American Super Sedan 

Someone should make that a gif

Yes , very close to Jeremy Clarkson's Jaaag

Can someone make that into a message tone please?

it's been my favorite thing since the normal CT5 review's intro lmao

great white buffalo

I know! They’re consistently well done and funny.

@@dontwork7810 you're not gonna get me this time!

I wonder if they are writing these themselves. Incredible 🤣

Intros are the best on this channel

😂😂.... So true

Good on you Anthony! What a great son! 🥰

@Doc Holliday bruh chill out

Tell him he’s too old to let stereotypes rule him.

@Doc Holliday It’s not that serious man. Also he said he reserved one, if so it likely hasn’t even been built yet.

@Doc Holliday I did reserve it for him. Did not pay for the rest of it. I always could’ve cancled the order if he didn’t want to proceed with the vehicle. But he obviously did considering it’s #20/250, so it was something we customized together and are taking to meets/shows together.

And the outro

I thought the Nemo reference was funny too lol

you guys are the best....dananana blacking

@@andrewduong2740 He's gone back up on the roof, hasn't he.........*blackwing*.....

Ye

Was just thinking the same thing lol

Canada legalized weed a while back... just saying.

The low angle of the car when he said that made in look menacing too.

@@cuteshadow for medical purposes right? For medical purposes right?

@@troll2637 no it's been fully recreationally legal up here for a few years

Yep I've said it 5 times after watching this video

😂😂😂

do ittttt!

too bad it's WAY out of 99% of Americans price range. GM needs to stop this bullshit.

@@kenshinhimura9387 tf u want a supercharged luxury v8 car for? 40k? 😂

@@xajabz1176 How about $30k at most. Why does every car have to be unaffordable to the majority of Americans? and NO the average American can NOT afford a $60k vehicle. That's more than they earn in a year.

@@kenshinhimura9387 because it costs more than 30 k to manufacture there’s them paying for tax employees supplies material and so many other things. And they’re not making it for ur pleasure or convenience they’re making for them to make profit smh it’s common sense

@@xajabz1176 no it does not cost them $30k to make. You are beyond ignorant.

Ah yes, the THICU

@@frechetta93 so much yes.

Matpat reference?

... Blackwing ...

Top Gear level hyping a car without really explaining the fundamentals either. Like saying it understeers, but failing to mention that's because they cheaped out on the MacPherson struts. The M5 uses much more sophisticated double-wishbone suspension. Calling a strut-front/multi-rear a "fundamental sports car chassis" is just plain stupid. It's a luxury sedan with a heavy engine at the front that overpowers the front suspension and washes out. Because no matter how well you dampen a strut front, it's always a trade off. You spring it too soft, it will travel too far and change the camber angle (meaning your tire angle changes and you lose grip). Or you spring it too hard and every bump will upset the front. Which is why you go for double wishbone, as that will retain the wheel alignment even if the spring/damper is compliant. Sure you can have fun, but it's not meant to be a sports car, which is why GM knows not to put it up against an M5. Because it would mop the floor with this boat.

@@The_Noticer. The M5 is a great car but is is 20k more than the blackwing. That's literally another economy car plus the blackwing. Its not in the same class. Keep it up fan boy that probably drives a civic.

@@jjcrazylegs7081 im a fanboy for pointing out the flaws in this car, by using the example Thomas uses in the video, whilst saying it understeers. You dont have much self awareness... do you.

I so agree they give me this fizzy feal that James always talks about. The x factor.

Man this car! It's just such a fun car (look at that long effortless drift!!!). Look up the review on "Hagerty" channel on RU-vid, the guy on that channel is just as excited and he says it's more fun than any other car too!

@@Ritalie Jason Cammisa? He's my third favorite automotive journalist behind these two, his video on it is great

Same man, I don’t watch reviews just to know info that I can read on the internet, but as entertainment. James and Thomas never disappoint

But sadly I feel like most people will be going for the m5 or e63s instead

@@zhaoyangxie you're probably right, and that's honestly a shame. The E63 and M5 are obviously incredible cars, but this CT5 has a lot going for it.

@@autocrosseverything why would u want a car like am m5 that look exactly like a 520 in interior, sounds like shit with stock exhaust, this ct5 is absolutely unbelievable

Remember when they were a luxury brand?

@@modelotime3608 Yeah it's been a while

Because the general public isn't going to buy it. And enthusiasts that want a manual sedan, can't afford it. Like myself. If it was 60k base then maybe.

Sigh, the rise of the SUV has killed many a great car...

@@waynemurray5084 noooooooo🤬🤬🤬

That’s because most american car buyers want lifted wagons, automatic transmissions, self driving and boring cars in general.

@@Slowwagonftl I have 3 kids , and currently shove them in my 6spd shaker challenger. Why cant we have fun family haulers?

Same here... Intro annnnnd like!

Yeah, the guy can wheel. Watch some of their Track tests. Even with multiple different vehicles, his placement on track is very consistent. James is no slouch of a driver, either. Better than your average journalist.

Why is this exact comment on every throttle house video

@@Adiadi-uj3ud because it is funny as hell?

@@poultrylord7300 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....no

@@poultrylord7300 it's old af and overused

Can't lie, I did also lol

GOOD luck!!

Damn Australia sucks

@@ryants1 Australia is the reason the Camaro came back in the late 2000s and the reason the Chevy SS ever existed🙄

@@hakaishinkage9899 The Mustang is the reason the Camaro came back

@@bigtuna1 no I meant the reason it came back with any relevance. It was the best handling out of the 3 because it was based on the Vauxhall monaro (so was the Pontiac GTO), the Pontiac G8 was a near carbon copy of the Vauxhall vxr8, and the Chevy SS is the same thing considering the newer Vauxhall vxr8. The only reason these cars were good is because they used the chassis and technology already implemented by the Australians. That's what I meant if anything i said was misconstrued.

That’s one of the best parts about TH. You can re-watch the videos even if you know all the information just for the entertainment value and beautiful production.

I stopped watching top gear to watch this channel

I know going slower with the manual is better.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j7YqdGt19tw.html

Only slower on straight line from a stop. I never cared for 1/4 mile. Plus in that lap you notice the the blackwing is leading the lap pretty much the whole lap except first few seconds and the last seconds

@@EugenioPicado still hot beat thats all that matters over 20 laps the plaid would leave it

@@EugenioPicado for fucks sake the black wing is more than a football pitch behind and that's over a 1/4 mile over 20laps the plaid would be 40s ahead

😑ok sure

I’d be pissed if my car had a supercharger and I could barely hear it lol! My car has a supercharger and Damn do I love hearing it it makes me want to drive my car more

I’m with you completely. Personally not a big supercharger whine fan. Those who want it will find a way to make it super loud.

Oo thank you, finally someone that agreed with me. I don’t care much about the whine but the engine noise…

same

Yea according to Cadillac its supposed to be the track weapon. That’s one of the reasons it has the more aggressive aero. Also another thing when I went to the V performance academy in Vegas all the instructors drove the ATS-V.

I believe all the mounting points for the engine, suspension, front doors, etc. on the ATS/CT4 are directly copied from the Camaro, whereas the CTS/CT5 is lengthened and widened by a few inches.

@@gettcouped yea I smoked all the dudes in the CTS-V's when I was at the performance academy driving the ATS-V, bit I needed more room, so I had to go with the big boy this round.

... Blackwing ...

A lot better haha

While everyone is going to smaller engines and EV, Cadillac and dodge just say f*ck off😂

@@TTGamingTrinh unfortunately V8s aren’t going to be around much longer if you couldn’t tell

@@Yoursistersazz I know, sadly. The lexus is 500 V8 might be one of the last ones

More like a corvette in a tuxedo.

zr1 motor lt4

its more of a 4 door camaro zl1, because they're on the same platform

@@Louthemailman No, it's the ZL1/Z06 engine. ZR1 has the LT5.

Completely agree with you cobba ball

@Doc Holliday haha

Yeah this strut-front boat of a car will appreciate over time, like any GM product.

GM really should have put the rear-camera mirror in the Camaro years ago (my son had a '17 Camaro and couldn't see out of it but he replaced it with a C7 Grand Sport with the rear-camera mirror and it makes a huge difference.)

Bad driver excuses. Can’t see? Use your neck

Shout out to Montréal. Cheers

@@AlexSami-qw4qu Probably couldn't get a clean, steady shot from the camera vehicle.

how reliable is it and the servicing ?

💩 👑

Damn,same thing here,lol

Based on your comment, not literally. If literally, rest in peace.
