Is the CT5 V Blackwing Better Than a Hellcat? This car shocked me!

- I review and drive the mighty Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing and compare it to the Dodge Charger Hellcat. This is the fastest Cadillac ever but is it enough to take down the ridiculously powerful Hellcat? I give you my thoughts after putting it through it's paces.

4-door sedan, seats 5, 668hp, 659lb-ft of torque AND a 6spd MT. Well done Cadillac!
Buy it. Let ur money voice ur opinion
@@blackice7408 what did that mean?
@@packtrail1535 ppl say how awesome these cars are yet dont buy em - not giving a company a reason to continue making them. If ppl bought em in big numbers it will tell companies to continue making cars like this. Money talks
@@blackice7408 you should tell dodge that. We’re being discontinued in 2023. What you said definitely doesn’t apply to most dealers.
@@packtrail1535 it's not about dodge. It's everyone. Like the camaro, the ss sedan, etc
I saw 13 Hellcats today, the only Blackwing I saw was mine. : )
Who else remembers when you could seat a whole family in a Cadillac with room to spare and float down the highway like riding on a cloud?
We got rolls Royce for that now lmao
But they didn't handle worth a shit and they were slow as hell. Your right though.
@@tyarnold4088 They were not made to. They were built for the interstate. And they were Torque Monster that would spin tires weighing over 4100 lbs. ua-cam.com/video/syXWeQzOHeM/v-deo.html
my dad had a 72 lincoln town car...talk about a boat, and when he sold it the guy who bought it just wanted the motor...for his boat hahaha
My Dad had a 69 black red interior, awesome car . Then got a 71 convertible Green with white interior. Big 4 door . Another awesome car till the stole it . New York what else
These actually put the power to the ground unlike the hellcats. Cancelled my Super Stock order and built one of these. Dealer I dealt with did a signed price lock at MSRP. I’m looking at 3-5 months for the build.
You do mean stock hellcats right? Last I checked slightly modified hellcats are putting down high 9s
Well u fucked up buddy should’ve got the super stock
@@jaredgonzalez8421 😂
@@mre_nolasport5392 No, he means the Super Stock Hellcat.
@@jaredgonzalez8421 NOT!
What an awesome car. No matter how crazy these gas prices get, it's still the big V8s with big power that draw my attention more than anything else ha. Gotta appreciate them while they are still being made I suppose.
Yes must love the traditional v8 lol
Not a v8
@@professormoriarty7474 its a 6.2L supercharged v8
@@issavibez394 it’s 5.62 in Bolingbrook right now
Cadillac built the car I imagined Chrysler would have, a combination of the 300 and Charger. What a ride that is...
A wide body, Hellcat powered 300…. How I’ve dreamed of this car
@@ENCAGED79 There's guys out there that are custom building them. Just FYI...
@@DJGRoc I hear you, but if I’m going the custom route… it’s gonna be a Prowler
Chysler? Lol! Isn't the 300 the only car they have?? Talk about holding on by a string!
@@ChicagosM0stWanted Yup, and a minivan with two different names. Not sure what Stellantis plans to do with the brand. I'm assuming not much as we keep hearing about plans for Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. But nothing for Chrysler
The Cadillac is a all rounder doing straight line speed and the road course well. The hellcat can only go in a straight line. The Cadillac CT5-V blackwing goes 200+mph too.
Ive seen a m8 from BMW makes 100 less than a hellcat and still smoked the hellcat both were stock
@@issavibez394 I seen Michael Jackson yesterday 🤣🤣
@@redeasy55 Lmao....🤣
Who wants it to go in circles😐
There are so many cars outperforming Mopar lol 😆 😂 even the Stang is even a gt2 stinger smoke a scat just shows how junk engineering Mopar is
I love that Cadillac decided to go with V because it still sounded cool, and they delivered on cool cars ever since.
right the passion the engineers brought to the drawing board got us here today 🥲
I want one so bad!!! Love that it has a 6-speed manual!!!
It's lighter cuz it's a lil smaller overall, but that aluminum block is a huge weight savings!
My dad had a brand new Caddy in 56 . It was dark blue roof and light blue body. It was his pride and joy. A Caddy will always be a Caddy.
56 beautiful year! I remember it well even though I was only 11 y.o. 😂
@@07Giddyup I was 10 . Ramar of the Jungle, Davey Crocket and Hopalong ruled the day.
The LS/LT caddies are reliable, hellcats are a better deal dollar wise, but a 6 speed caddy with a cam on the way to church is the way to go !
Charger Hellcats are definitely a better deal when used. I remember back in 2015 when they were $60K at MSRP and now the minimum is $77K, too bad for inflation
Hellcats are unreliable numerous dodge products with blown engines
I love watchin any car review vids by RacerX much love bro
I won’t lie. That’s a bad ass Cadillac
Literally saw one of these last night and didn’t think nothing of it. Great content RacerX!🔥🔥
They are definitely some sleepers for sure
Loving the sound on the exhaust! Beautiful car!
Keep bringing that 1st class content and reviews RX.
Beautiful car ! I had a chance to sit in one of these at the auto show here in Michigan. I absolutely love how the seats hug you, how everything is driver friendly or within good reach; The sound is absolutely intoxicating as well lol. Well done Cadillac 🤘
I have a CT5-V. It's an amazing car. I wish I could have swung for the fence and got the Blackwing, but it wasn't to be. But even the CT5-V is an absolute blast to drive. I've never had so much fun driving to work or around down. I regularly break 130mph on the way to work on a back road. Such a smooth ride.
how much more were they asking for a blackwing?
it's the gearing in that 10 speed vs the old 8 speed that was in the CTS V and Z06 that is contributing to that harder hit
love the videos! & as a GM- IT employee, i’ve been waiting to see if you were going to review these! been looking forward to it
Great review RacerX. If I can not get what i want next year for Dodge i will wonder over for a look.
Coming from a die hard Mopar guy, this is much nicer than any Dodge. Obviously there is a market for full size, luxury factory hot rods. You listening Chrysler and Dodge.
Nope electrification is coming SRT group has already disbanded..they already setting up 4 it..no more Hellkitties or the one year jailbreak bye 👋 unless u go to a 3rd party market 😉 coming in 2023 or 2025
That is one badass 😎 caddy. Are you sure not a car salesman by trade 🤔. Always full of info and great videos. Keep up the good work.
Nice! Appreciate it brother!
Can't get over the looks of the Blackwing, despite its performance. The front of it is pretty...fugly, tbh. The Hellcats, despite their age...look absolutely badass and iconic after all these years. The Caddy's look...angular like all their models. You either like em or you dont...I'm not a fan.
I was inches away from purchasing one a couple weeks back, but couldn't do it. The interior is light-years nicer than the HC though, I'll give it that
I can’t help but to turn my damn neck eveytime I see a wide body hell cat
Only con on the hellcat........... They're everywhere, that's all
@Dodge official I know several people that aren't thugs that have them so I guess. V series aren't a high production line. That's basically what it is. Nobody cares if people stole them or are gang banging or none of that. I own a v series and a v sport but love to hear mopars rip and run through the streets. I get sick of seeing them sometimes lol. 392 guys always trying to race someone too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Dodge official They kinda do,with 480hp they can beat most cars on the road.You can have some serious power to beat them,if you dont got a Hellcat or something like this Cadillac Blackwing your in trouble.
@Dodge official Lol that maybe true,i have a cadillac cts v6 3.6 and 392s pull up on me trying to race.I hate when they do that,like im in a v6 and your trying to bully me in a way.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💯🔥🙌 really enjoyed your review…awesome car!
Probably the best 4 door sedan on the market. The aftermarket performance you can add to these are great too 👍
Nah…m5 comp is way better…
@@djzulumask2138 amg c63s is better

Love how you describe things in the video never leave me with questions other than if I want jailbreak or a blackwing 😂😂
Good review 👏🏾👏🏾
Great review, brother!
I am wondering if that car was a customer order. It's a fantastic luxury, performance sedan , but the price point for these type of vehicles has gotten crazy. At that price point. I'll enjoy it through your video. Thanks RacerX for your informative review of this beautiful, extremely limited luxury Caddy. For 2022, Cadillac says, that Blackwing count will likely add up to no more than 3,000 total units, between the CT5-V and CT4-V.
or do what i did, buy a certified used on with fairly low miles
@@SuperBooboo02 I've looked at 2022.pre-owned CT4 black Wings. The pricing in my area is between $79,900 to $89,000. 2021 CT4 V depending on equipment and mileage range from $52,000 up which isn't the same as the 2022 Black Wing having 325 horsepower compared to 472. Beside pricing. Depreciation is another consideration. I'm finding it's not the best time to purchase a new or in many cases a pre-owned vehicle. With estimated 3000 2022 CT4 and CT5 Black Wings to be manufactured. Your lucky getting a deal on a pre-owned 2022 Black Wing. I'll wait until the used car market levels out and then take another look.
CT5-V... 1.02g
VIR laptime... 2:49.5
Hellcat
Widebody... .96g
VIR laptime... 2:59.8
Basically, the Caddy is next to a GTR in laptimes , and the Hellcat Widebody is slower than a '21 3.0 Supra🤦♂️
Not really close at all regarding handling🤷♂️
Precisely. On the track this thing eats Mopars for breakfast.
@@daddyeyez740 Vipers too ? ACR ??? ..mopar ?
Ive seen a m8 from BMW makes 100 less than a hellcat and still smoked the hellcat both were stock
A m8 would kill all of these
@@issavibez394 Nope...
it's 6.1 sec's slower around VIR than the Blackwing... 249.4 vs 255.5🤷♂️
In fact, it barely beats the CT4-V Blackwing by a mere .1 sec🤦♂️. Lets not forget, youre also comparing a coupe with a sedan... one actually has a useable rear seat and the other...lol, doesn't
I didn't even know about this Caddy. It gives the Hellcat & Scatpack a run for their money. She's nice. I definitely want one. Caddy has changed so much. Still a beautiful car.
I can definitely drive this car.... I see Dodge on the road all the time... This car is ME......
Comparing this to a Hellcat is laughable 😂 Other than maybe straight line racing there isn’t one single thing the Hellcat beats this Caddy at
being 500 lbs lighter, I don't think the hellcat would beat it
It's for all the numbnutted buyers out there thinking they have only hotrod in a Dodge
Getting laid!!!😂😂😂
Meow 😺💯
Exactly
Got my popcorn 🍿 ready. This gonna be a good one 😅👍🏾
That is really nice car !!
I was gonna have a cargasm when you stated the horse power this bad boy has... until I noticed the missing 3rd pedal, lol 😆
Great review👍
Several weeks ago I left a comment on your Instagram page about how it would be fun to see you test one of these cars and compare it to a Hellcat. Probably just a coincidence that you ended up doing so, but thank you. I've never driven one of these, because there's not a chance I could afford to buy one. But it's still fun to imagine. I have a Charger Scat Pack that is a blast, but mine is not optioned out and doesn't hold a candle to this beautiful Cadillac.
Yes I do recall your comment.. I rattled around in my mind until I could make it happen lol
Beautiful Caddy !!!
My dad bought his dream cadillac 35 years ago. It was a POS other than the back seat which was great at making out> like a bedroom back there ") Thankfully Caddy has restored most of its glory back with engineering machines like this.
This is a very surprising interesting car it's very cool.
I wondered when you were going to test one of these!
Great video bro
It’s a caddy it already better then any dodge in production today
U can have your opinion but plzz stop
@@johnnywilliams1101 lol that’s to funny…. Seriously that caddy is killing any dodge any day of the week……
In person they look better too. The blackwings are very impressive cars. Solid video 📹 💯
I had an '05 CTS-V that I put over 100,000 miles on and owned for 13 years purchased used. In my five decades of owning cars it has been one of the best if not the best. 20 mpg average, great handling, I shifted it mainly in primes (1-3-5-6) and easy for old people to get into and out of (unlike a Vette). The only unusual maintenance item was replacing the motor mounts and diff bushing which I figured was the trade for a great ride.
At least you won’t have to worry about people trying to steal this car or should we?
I didn’t even watch the video yet. But My answer to the title “Yes it’s better than a hellcat” 😂😂
Wow I would love to have one great video 💯
i got mine yesterday
Yes the Black wing is better than the Hellcat, the BW is a street lines / road course monster unlike the Hellcat Which made only for street line and way better interior as well than the Hellcat
What a beautiful machine 🔥all coming from the CTS V man 👊🏾
I've had a 2018 CTS V for a bit now and with a few small upgrades such a the supercharger and smaller pulley it's a real beast new tires for better grip, I'd never look at a hellcat or that fat redeye. Caddilac not only has the straight line speed but it corners very well for a 4door sedan. CT5V love it and it has a manual mines doesn't only downside to the 2018.
Js put one of these engines in my cutlass😵💫 ima need those seats too they go CRAZY
Love the sound. Reminds me of the R/T
Sick ride
Love my CT5-V with the black out package and those fourth generation magnetic shocks man what a job they do and I was able to score a carbon fiber blackwing spoiler. Now it looks balanced and complete, I get compliments almost everyday. Next up PPE
It is the suburb 10 speed that makes it so fast. The CTS-V had the sluggish 8L90. You know from the Mustang how that transmission keeps the engine right in the power band at all times.
Absolutely
Those 8 speed automatic transmissions in the CTS V were indeed inconsistent and sluggish. Same with the A8 speed automatic transmission in the C7 Z06.
Those Ford 10-speed trannys have have several issues. Shift cable clips breaking, first planetary gear replacement, erratic gear changes, ect.
Cts v smoked a c63 stock both
Superb*
Just goes to show you, when they think about building a Cadillac, they thought about how the wheels and tires would fit before they made it.... Dodge was like... Oh shit.. These cars ain't got no meat on the wheels.... Well, we'll just throw some fender flares on it... done.. Looks stupid...
I love my Widebody
🤣🤣🤣
@@wolf-bv6lg yeah, they're still cool cars but I just don't like the way they put fender flares on them.
When the current generation Challenger was designed a Hellcat wasn't even in the thought process....so yes they had to accommodate the larger displacement with larger tires when it came to pass.
And then they call it widebody lol
Elvis would be proud ! Very nice all around sedan .
Nice review Racer X...... this car is at least on par performance wise with a Hellcat & has a WAY better interior & suspension....the CT5 V wins hands down
awesome 😎👍🏾
Sick cadi almost makes me wanna say forget about the scatty and jump in the cadi game
steady
My mom has always had a Cadillac🍀 she's 87 I call her the way back machine 😆she would love that Cadillac 🐇get R done😎✌️
The Caddy is a sleeper.....for older, richer men who like to embarrass young kids once in awhile. Dodges have massive power but I love the interior of the Caddy and exterior is less boy-toy than the Dodge. I see the Dodge stuff crashed up and at the auction all the time and although the Dodge stuff is expensive, they are also all over the place and not as special as the CT5 V.
I love it. Ohh i just love it
Hellcat doesnt compare. This car does everything well not just go in a straight line.
Let see
@@issavibez394 don’t do it
That mafucka will put your kitty in icu 🤷🏽♂️
Caddy stands by its name💯
My late uncle always drove a caddy I remember one he had it was a DeVille late sixty's model it was very plush and had ice cold AC very rare in a car in those days
This car is awesome!
Awesome content buddy 👍🔥💪
Just upgraded from my 2015 Cadillac Ats 2.0 to a CT5-V Blackwing. No regrets!
@.23 I have the same shirt you have. lol got on July 4th sale at Macy's
Man my dream toy
It's going to take more than one car to get the Cadillac out of the grandfather phase 🤣🤣😂😂
Thank you.
Love it
Love this car
I have a caddie ATS v6 Awd. So let’s see cause it’s all underrated ! Want a ctsv still !!
8:20 that means it'll handle way better, too. Don't forget, it also has GM's fancy magneto-electric shocks, which are world class. Ride is more supple when you want luxury, and nice and firm when you take it to the track!
@11:20 the way he zipped past that suv....wow!
At first I thought the sponge was out 😂😂😂😂😂
When it comes to Luxury , style , power , futures , (Please) The Cadi
love that cadillac ✊🏾👌🏾
LT’s make great torque 💪🏾
I grew up riding in Cadillac"s and then buying my own lol my 1st car was a ??? Caddie LaC an 5 months later my 1st set of Dayton's on 5.20"s that was crazy driving on them tires lol u know if u ever been there
It sounded loud inside. Does it have some kind of a dual-mode exhaust or maybe noise ported into the interior like newer Camaros?
Is that paint overspray on the front inner fender liner
Nicer then any hellcat I ever seen
Badass
Never cared for the way GM cars and trucks look. Just another supercharged luxury car and over priced like all the others.
Bruh this car better than an M5 CS lol. A hellcat not even in the conversation
I was just thinking that
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!!!
Problem with hellcats is its a 60k car being sold for 70+
Don’t know how many times you said “What a great place to sit” 😂 so that means it’s really a great place to sit
W vid
it looks ok the older ones look a lot better inside is nice tho
1000% impressed with the black wing.
Wowww 🔥🔥👌🏾
Ford used to put the assembler name on the cobra R back in the day
