Absolutely love the growl. I really, really hope we aren’t really in the final days of these and going 100% EV as quickly as GM has discussed. These are incredibly engineered machines and a driving enthusiast’s dream.
I think that entirely depends on how November goes - whether or not auto makers are going to bow down to the agenda. The agenda is falling apart so hopefully this kind of machinery stays.
Sounds amazing..just bought my 2024 fully loaded ct5 v blackwing 10 speed auto. w/both carbon fiber packages. back in march....now paid the deposit and awaiting pick up...going to Hennessey for the H1000 upgrade.. 1000hp / 966 torque..... insane in the membrane
I’ll make more vids as soon as the weather gets consistently nice for a little bit and washes all the salt off the roads. So excited to drive this thing…
Traction is indeed a problem. Gotta be in manual mode and in at least 5th gear or you’re going into a full spin. This is around the same power level as the Hennessey Blackwing.
At idle and WOT it’s loud in cabin. Cruising at highway speeds you’d never know it was modified - sounds same as stock at all baffle/engine noise settings.I have $26K in everything done including labor for cam, valvetrain upgrade, and tuning.
You literally hear the car transition from open to closed loop after running for a short period (gets real choppy when I walk back to the rear of the car). The dash doesn’t even register coolant temp - it was a cold start - like high teens Fahrenheit cold. Not sure if you’re just trying to stir the pot or if you have some other issues goin on…
Haha I’ve been doing design and architecture lately for professional services. I started as a tier1 engineer and worked my way up. My specialty is fortinet. Been at it for almost 15 years now - I’m 36. The pay could honestly be better…
@@jtoagdaye Same here for the most part. (PS > Arch). My only regret is doing it for a SaaS in the middle of a big growth phase. I need something a little more laid back these days. lol
Sounds great but does every CT5 Blackwing have that annoying squeak coming from the engine bay?? I've noticed it when I first leave from a standstill with my manual, too. So annoying coming from a 6 figure car. I'm going to have the dealer look at it in the spring when I take it out of storage.
Mine had a squeak sound after I did kooks headers. It’s because of the thin wall tubes you can literally hear the gas flowing and it makes the squeaking sound. Initially I thought I had an exhaust leak and I did a very thorough smoke test and found she was sealed up tight. If you still have stock exhaust your squeak is likely a pulley or belt.

- My Blackwing has a new cam.. wait the box is in the Raptor 😂
Hahaha I laughed out loud. The raptor is the wife’s.

@@jtoagdayewhat's the agenda?
Bro I'll go to jail before I give up my ls1 camaro!
@@jtoagdayesick ass car bro !
I, the Batman, will see to it that the V8s return in their full power. With no mufflers, resonators, caddalotic converters.
I do a remote start on mine every time I can, because it is just an animal! Love it! Enjoy every second with it!

You’re livin the dream bro. I just started comptia classes at a tech school a month ago. Going into networking is the goal.
Love it, man!!
Welcome to the blackwing family. Enjoy the beats my man
Owned since April of 2023. Have loved every second behind the wheel!
BRAVO SIR!
The song of our people!
The guys at Tap Out Tuning are awesome. The car sounds amazing
Haha best thing about this video is the license plate because I am a Network Engineer also and want to own one of these one day.
That sound coming from a four door sedan soooo badass!! love it!
It’s perfect!! I know…
Sounds beast !! TapoOut tuning got this platform on lock 👌🏼
I didn’t know it was possible for a car to look THIS GOOD in white.
So the car is summit white but it’s vinyl wrapped in 3m frozen satin vanilla. I took a white car and made it - - - white! LOL
Sounds amazing, you definitely got to rev it and do some drive by’s when there’s no ice on the roads
I’ll make more vids as soon as the weather gets consistently nice for a little bit and washes all the salt off the roads. So excited to drive this thing…
Hey I learned how to turn on the power with out starting the car!
Haha there ya go!!
I have a 2022 in Satin Steel 10 speed automatic. That sounds awesome! I bet tradition is a problem! I’m in s e Michigan..

@@jtoagdaye Thanks for the reply. I would love to do the blower and the throttle body but I’m going to leave it stock for now..
It’s fun enough in stock form! Enjoy it for a while if you have the discipline the hold out on the mods haha. You are stronger than I am LOL
I don’t drive it in the winter months. Is it loud inside the cabin? Can I ask what the mods cost you…

Sounds amazing. 💪💪💪
That does sound rather healthy, definitely more exhaust burbling than my Gen2 that’s for sure
Sounds amazing
Beast!
Great video..
Sounds like it “ate” a Prius ✌🏻🤧🤜🏻
I’m waiting on the 2025 Blackwing. Your car sounds 🫨🔥🫡
Where in Western PA? I'm in Pittsburgh, this car would be sick to check out at a local car meet!
Grove City
Can we say Chop Chop!😂👍
I wish I could get one of these beasts. Unfortunately I'm the kid hauler.
They’re four door. It’ll haul kids just fine! Haha
Escalade V is a great kid hauler 😂
Will that spoiler fit in a ct6 trunk door, thanks if it does do you mind sharing the link thanks
Mans just leaves it outside in the snow lmaoo
Explained my reasoning. Just had to drive it home in salt covered roads and was waiting to wash it.
Didn't grab the headers. Probably a hot start.

Have a 17 cts-v making 740rwhp on E what kind of numbers did it make?
810whp
@jtoagdaye what other mods does it have to be 810 or is that flywheel hp
That’s not flywheel that’s wheel horsepower.

@@jtoagdaye very similar setup,no lid or snout port on mine
Can’t believe someone already cammed these LMFAOOOOO
Lots of cammed lt4’s out there. This ain’t new territory. All that’s new is global b and learning the nuances of tuning the torque based parameters.
which lowering kit and size rims and tires did u go with brother
Swift lowering springs from tapout tuning. Rims are variant wheels 19” front and back. Tires are the stock Michelin pilot sport 4s cause there’s nothing better, right now!
@@jtoagdaye nice set up🫡 just sold my 22 and got the call yesterday my 24 has been built… looking to put some custom wheels on it as well, gonna go 19in with stock tires
Why did you sell the 22 and go with a 24? there’s no changes between those years, that I know of.
@@jtoagdaye the color, the blue was a lil to dark for me and i switched up the seat color and was able to get the carbon package in complete without piecing it out like the first go around and added a few other upgraded
Where did you get the rims from
They are variant radons
Unreal. My Escalade V's engine just went out after the first oil change. Is the CT5 having the same issue?
I had almost 2k miles on my engine whenever I had the heads and cam swapped. Never had issues before I built the engine, though…
lol what problems are you having now?
Zero. I never have…just saying that the car was fully built at 2k miles and it’s still all good.
Makes me want to sell my ATS-V for a CT5V 🤣
It’s an amazing machine.
Jezus
…Don’t bring imaginary friends into this. Lol
thank the lord ev sales have dropped.
What wheels are those?
Variant Radon
Just cam?
No new valve train entirely.
Get any power numbers?
830whp
Long tubes, no cats, ported blower, e85 I’m assuming? Sounds amazing!
Oh baby. That's nasty. You go kooks catless or green cats?
I have the green cats. County I live in does visual inspection.
What an awful sound it's look like new car 🚗 how it sound like that.
You compared this to an 18 year old turd in my other video. You’re an odd duck.
Goddamn
She’s rowdy.
nice
