GM can absolutely build a world class performance car when it wants to.
You got that right!
And they usually never want to
@@FlyingV555 Seems that way!
GM for yearssss focuses on the Chinese market..GM makes larger profit in china than in the USA.. this car is great but I doubt they sell much of the 100K version..I'm in NYC and might see a new Caddy maybe once every 2 days..says a lot
Can't wait when they release the all electric hummer
To me, the Hellcats are all engine. The fit and finish on this car is in another level!
This car just like all other Caddies will never stand the test of time ! Their body model always plays out ! The Dodge Challenger ( not charger ) will forever be a classic !
You don't compare this to a charger
You’re right, the charger is better.
@@themarathoncontinues2289 no the charger is not a luxury vehicle
@@hound7410 ??? Fuck u talking bout do you not see the prices on the old v’s
I’m so in love I’m gonna cry. I’m not wasting any penny. Saving up for this beauty
You can do it!
@@RaitisRides 🙏😄✨
did u get one? :)
@@matta6298 currently have no car 💀👍
Joe, you are hands down the most entertaining car reviewer of all time!
Thanks James! That really means the world.
If I was to choose between the Charger RE and this, I'd go with the BlackWing, the interior is more modern and looks awesome...
BAM!
i agree
I agree but ultimately the biggest choice for me was when I drove one, not the blackwing version first thing I thought to myself it was so tiny..... and I'm a short dude lol
@@gregholman2930 ⁰
Yup dodge is ass and for the ghettos
That black on black on this car looks so sinister and sexy looks so good. That exhaust sounds so divine
It is one of my favorites for sure Matt!
GM can literally build anything amazing. I love their cars so much.
the take off and smoke sound was insane its like the perfect amount of torque power and no slip wheel spin this car hooks to the ground like glue
This ct5 v looks great in black . It screams luxury and performance by the way.
I totally agree with you!
@@RaitisRides thank you
@@Reaperguy67 You are so very welcome!
Cars dont scream
@@NewzAndReviewz lol. It's a joke by the way.
12:09 words can not describe how happy I was when I saw him shift into drive😂😂😂
I’m glad I could share the ON THROTTLE with you!
I'd take this over any Hellcat any day!! A much better all around car.
How do you figure.?
I’d choose this car if I didn’t care about the speed. If I wanted to go fast I’d go with the hellcat.
@@themarathoncontinues2289 bruh just put a couple mods on the caddy and most hellcats are getting dusted.
@@dredayonnabeat funny joke
@@broyoutrash4617 Youd be suprised the power they can make, yeah sure challangers and chargers can too...
I agree. GM makes amazing cameras. My 2016 Chevy Malibu has a better backup camera than some 2021 and 2022 cars I've been in.
They go cheaper with backup cameras on cheaper models
Not completely true. I own a 16 escalade and the backup camera on my 15 kia k900 blows it out of the water
My scatpack backup camera is trash and it’s a 2021 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@alvinbarrios4317 granted they are about the same price tho but one has a price premium of truck (extra space n protection) n also they manufactured by different countries so we gotta consider that too. One is american n we all know americans try to get over all the time 😂 (im american n black so i know) america be scammin
@@narrow2056 dodge a do it to you 😂 gotta go foreign
GM has been killing it as of late. This CT5 V Blackwing and the upcoming C8 Z06 are super impressive. Great stuff Joe and team! This one was definitely a handful to drive.
Escalade V Chevy Malibu for a cheap car
A handful to drive? Looked like Joe had no trouble with it. He even described it as smooth and nimble.
They have when has government motors put out anything good and reliable
And zl1 and zr1
C8 is a cheap ass pretend Ferrari that USED to be a Corvette
I love the CT5-V Blackwing and this one looks amazing in black and with those graphics but for me, it would have to be the 6-speed manual. Congrats on the winner of this on though.
“Windshield wipers work great!” Thank you Joe & Mrs. Raiti for so much consistent, and great content!
I’ve been watching this channel for a while now and just now subscribing this video was very much entertaining especially when he started driving it loved the pulls ! LOVE THE CONTENT AND THIS CAR KEEP IT UP 💯💯
I really appreciate you saying that! Thanks for being on the journey with me.
Some guy in TikTok has 8 of these in the dark green color.
That’s crazy!
the color is called dark emerald which i think cadillac sadly canceled already but i ran across that guy on tiktok too
What’s his TikTok name?
All I got to say is when I go test drive this car and the salesman starts his sales pitch, I'll reply, "I saw Joe's review, no need".
Just yell 'On Throttle'' and scare the bejesus out of him :)
My favorite youtube channel. I love your energy and I can 100% say you are the best car reviewer I have ever come across.
I absolutely love this car! Omg it's so elegant and sounds phenomenal, I'm definitely going to start saving up. Love the content man!
This Cadillac looking sporty not your Grandpa Caddy anymore. Once up a time this brand was for old people driving to bingo, golf and church now it's for the younger generation same went with Buick when had sedans back in the day. As much love the Hellcat will take this Cadillac a loyal GM man my first car learned was Buick than straight down the list. This would be perfect Florida car especially in that black color even something a movie star would drive to an award show.
You are so very right Ramon! Good call man!
Maaaaaaaan this Caddy is a thing of beauty!!!! I love it!!! That supercharged V8 is an absolute beast!!! Massive respect to you and Lori for bringing us this epic review Joe!!!
I knew you would be all over this one Mario!
@@RaitisRides alllllllllll oooooo very it Joe!!! I want this one on the Massachusetts bound transporter too, please 🙏 and thank you 😊
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT BEEMER AND THIS ? This car is way too small to be considered a muscle car
As a car loving kid, of course your childhood is spent with the supercar posters and love for hot rods. I've always had a deep love for Camaros. They were my first and second car as a teen. As of recent years my crush was the Charger Hellcst till the newer ZL1s came out. But now with that kid all grown up, I've been drooling over this CT5 Blackwing since the very first teaser trailer. And I bet I've watched every video youtube has on them. MAN I'M IN LOVE WITH THESE BLACKWINGS!
Another great one! Always informative, always entertaining. Well done Joe (and Lori :)
Car of the year candidate. I like how well they "combinate" power and luxury, eh Joe?
Cant be car of the year at a 100k price point sorry bro.
@@stavroslask1292 yes it can
@@JoseShajiOfficial who is calling it car of the year..JD POWER? Motor Trend?
@@stavroslask1292 Over that wasn't it lol . Starts at 80 but this was 120 or something . Probably all the silly carbon fibre that always looks like plastic.
Bro I love your videos. 100% fun and informative. Never change you absolutely crush it!
I am so glad that I can share it all with you Dan!
Another great video and awesome review. Thank you Joe and Lori. You make my day everytime I watch your videos.
Hey Joe! This Caddy wins the show! Lol Beautiful car! Total package in and out, up and down!! I ain't gone lie, its outside design reminds me of my 2019 Honda Sport! And I hate to hear you say this is their last combustion engine make! I hope everybody don't switch to electric! Great review!
Be still my beating 💓 I was just building a Charger Hellcat Jailbreak on the web. They upped the hp to 807 and added lots of choices for different things. My build was 86k+ without a sunroof and some different color bits. The Caddy is a better choice but quite a bit more expensive. Thanks for sharing this beast Joe. I’ll be dreaming about it tonight lol.
Nicely done you and Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
This is a very good point Larry! Will we see you pull the trigger on a Hellcat?
@@RaitisRides Probably not. I still like my ATS4 3.6 Performance. ( I had to say it that way so people don’t have to ask what model)
Love my CT4V Blackwing. The CT5 is a beast!
You have a great car!
You are trading for a CT5V BW right?
I wish! Impossible to find now😩
@@seemezoomin yes I looked for a while and wanted to order one but waiting a year is just crazy to me. I'm just going to get a C7 Z06 Instead until i can find a low mileage used BW.
Awesome video man! You're every guy in the world who love cars. Especially when you stick your foot in it. I like the way u were coming out of those corners and then romping it. New Sub!!
That looked like a lot of 🤩 fun! That last in throttle was very funny and caught me by surprise 👍🏼 felt like I was there with you enjoying that car!
That sound 🤤 Thank you for the extended sound clip! Another great review on a gorgeous car 🔥 Thanks Joe
You are so very welcome my friend!
A friend of mine has one of these built by Rick Hendrick. He's got 1000HP at the wheels. The car is an absolute wild child!
That is total insanity!
It’s basically just a corvette but sedan and luxury
So he has a CTS-V because no one has tuned a CT5
Charger is faster, CT5-V BW is a drivers car.
False. CT5 can’t be tuned after factory
Thank you Joe for showing the name on the door sill. We take great pride in every door we install at Lansing Grand River in the body shop. 😊
Getting the roar of the LT4..on throttle...yeah..loving the blackwing..thanks Lori and Joe for this black beauty..😀🙂
Wow!!!!!! Cadillac Just Killing It With This Vehicle. Also I Totally Love The Paint Job On This Vehicle As Well. But This Vehicle Is Going To Be Everyone's Favorite Car To Drive Including Myself. But Great Review Joe.
I’d take the Cadillac all day. Not just power but great handling.
Good idea Drew!
This video is one of your best, your genuine excitement about this car shows.
This is a must have when I'm able to have a car collection! I'm turning 17 soon with a Jeep Rubicon.
this is a bad beast of a car, the outside and inside too nice those seats are ridiculous 🔥 and i like the way the integrated the infotainment system
To choose, Blackwing, awesome car, nice interior, that engine tho wow, would take over a M3, M4 also, as for not hearing the supercharger on the inside I feel that's par for course of luxury
Already own the Caddy XT6 Sport in white with the blackout trim. Love it. This will be our 2nd car at the end of the year
Thank you lauri! That was a great video presentation. I loved every part of it.
The sound of a Supercharger whine is sweet music.
When I look at it from the side it conjures up visions of the 2003 Saturn sedan, specifically the rear door.
Sounds like it has a lot of electronic goodies, which I like!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
How dare you
@@relentlesseducator - To be honest, I was thinking the same thing.
Drove a 04 cts v for awhile and man I was dusting benz n bmws the acceleration from 1 st gear to 4th is insane for the weight of the car. It's just perfect!
Heck yeah!
I love all the new color options but this black still looks amazing!
This is gorgeous, inside and out!
I love what you do, great job. If you have time I would love if you could do a Volks Wagon Atlas see trim, thank you
Thanks Luca! You got it man!
This is my dream car ever since I heard the news of this beautiful car the styling just everything hits the spot.
I am so glad that you are all about this one.
I think you just convinced me that this should be my next car.. I’m 6’2 about 280 so idk if I should just go with their SUV or this one because I love the way it looks
Hey Joe and Lori, and the Raiti's Rides family how are y'all doing.
Hey Joe, thanks for uploading a video about the "America's sport sedan" review. Now the Cadillac CT5-V blackwing is an "American V8" luxury sports sedan that offers a manual transmission, which means that some car enthusiasts can opt for a manual.
And fun fact about the Cadillac CT5-V blackwing is the only V8 powered sedan with a *manual* *transmission* and it haves 668 horsepower (the new Cadillac Escalade V is rumored to have the same or "similar" hp then the sedan).
Also Cadillac sell a smaller "sport" sedan called the Cadillac CT4-V blackwing, which 472 hp with a manual transmission, but with a V6.
So Joe or the Raiti's Rides family what is your favorite midsize performance sedan.
The Cadillac CT5-V blackwing or the CT4-V blackwing, the Dodge Charger SRT hellcat wide body, Tesla model S Plaid, Porsche Panamera or Taycan Turbo S, BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz AMG E 63 S, Audi RS7, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes-AMG CLS 53, Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 or ect.
(Also, sorry Joe for not being on UA-cam for 2 whole day and not commenting)
Damn, that’s a beautiful car! Love what Cadillac is doing with these new cars.
MAN that car sounds AMAZING!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I’m DEFINITELY putting in for that!!!!
Best review of the CT5 V Blackwing I’ve seen. Thanks Joe!
Thanks Ben that really means so much!
This car is stunning!!! Love it. I'm not ha Cadillac fan but this beast is on another level!! Love it those bucket seats woohoo 🎉🎉🥳. Good work Raiti's keep simple.
I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
@@RaitisRides yeahh!! First the NSX and now this beast Perfecto!!
"You're not eating in my Blackwing"...I laughed out loud.
No time for manual mode and paddle shifting in this thing! Wow! Awesome vehicle! Definitely would choose the Blackwing any day!
I went to a Caddy dealer yesterday. No Blackwing or V, they had a 3.0 tt premium in white. The fit and finish were as good or better than wife's Audi. Very impressed. I want one, will order for july delivery
It's definitely the safer option that's for sure
It's a very well built car, and, you don't have to worry about being car jacked, and shot & killed because you don't own a Mopar product in 2022
Were you able to take it above 4500rpm? I think we will need another test after 500 miles. Great job as usual.
Thanks for such a great review Joe and also thanks to your Wife for doing such a wonderful job too! 😎
Gorgeous. That car is simply gorgeous. The only thing I would change is to a manual transmission but given how quick & smooth the paddle shifts look I could easily get over this. Another phenomenal review 👏 🙌 👌
They actually make it in a manual trans as well
lmao I lost it at the Amazon Alexa impression.
I'd take this over the Charger any day just because the Charger is well past due for a redesign.
You don't compare this to a charger
@@brandonm5394 chargers are ugly
@@AAhmad3449 not
I have had a passion for a Dodge Charger Hellcat and for the final CTS-V for years, I like the Cadillac abit more than the Charger as in looks and interior luxury, but not happy about the no supercharger whine in the CT5-V Blackwing, but then again I can only dream about these American muscle cars , I live in Australia.
Bro that can be fixed aftermarket.
Smaller pulley more boost more power more whine
Even an aftermarket intake will do it. (Im sure one will come soon) I added one on my V2 & V3 for a little more whine
Not sure who told you this but the CT5-V Blackwing whines and you can definitely hear it, it's just perfectly balanced so you can hear the engine and tires when pushing it to its limits
I dream about Holden cars while living in America 😢
This has to be the best Sports Sedan in the World for the money and the best Cadillac sedan ever built. Thanks Joe and Lori for everything you guys do.
BAM!
I’ve never thought about getting a Cadillac never even looked at one until now great video man
I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS!! AND THAT CAR IS A DREAM🔥💙
I have a few minor criticisms of this car, but I definitely want one!
It’s just a damned shame that the automotive industry is moving away from internal combustion towards electric power. My apologies to anyone who happens to think that electric power is a good thing, but personally, I hate the fact that politicians are having a greater influence on the automotive industry than consumer demand.
Bruh I hate electric cars. First of all its not even enough charge stations around to even mass produce electric cars and then what will happen if the grid goes down. I'll stick with my 62mm turbo on my Grand National over a Telsa any day 😂
Don't buy electric cars! Gas prices are being inflated on purpose to drive people to buy electric cars!
@@zone6trapgod293 - Excellent choices, in my opinion.
@@paulc1014 - I agree, but I think the gas inflation has gotten out of their control. Anyone with two grains of sense could fix it within a couple of weeks, or at least turn it around significantly, but if the people in charge now change direction suddenly, it would be the same as admitting that they were wrong, and they’ll never do that.
Electric cars do nothing but put money in the corrupt leftwing politicians pockets. There will be just as much pollution because the power plants will have to burn many times the amount of coal they burn now to charge all these electric cars. Not to mention the sound of a powerful v8 is the soul of the car. It’s a shame we the people allow a minority of idiots to control us.
TY Joe 4 featuring this beauty, goes to show you GM/Cadillac can produce significant vehicles when they want to, I'd definitely take this over an Audi or BMW, maybe not a MBZ. I would like to see Cadillac revive the Eldorado!
I have a Charger and this car is a beautiful piece of work. I seen a few in Atlanta a few weeks back.
Yes I’ve been waiting for a great performance sedan as this one!
I hope it was worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides definitely bro! I really liked this car!!!!!
Best car reviewer of all time!🙌🏻🐐
Thanks for having my back
I like to drag race so i would pick the redeye 100% and i love the sound of the supercharger
this is beautiful in that black, im a sucker for matte grey accents too.
Love this CT5V Black Wing I think Cadillac did a dandy of a job.
One thing I noticed with my hellcat and others is that you can really hear the supercharger whine. I didn't really pick that up with this Cadillac.
I dont like that little whine.
Better quality ✊🏾
You could hear it a LOT with the V3 but I suspect when Cadillac said they were using active sound management to remove undesirable harmonics - they may have meant the super charger given you can hear with the windows down. It dominated the sound track over the motor in the V3 and I would have preferred a mix of both in this car.
@@rdollie1 I wonder if an after market air intake or box would make it more audible?
@@ian2372 it definitely would
great review, loved the detail, it was like seeing it in person.
Love watching the front end rise when you say "ON THROTTLE!!!" lol
If I had the money, I would definitely buy it!
You can actually win this one.
@@RaitisRides I wish
No one watching does.
Def!
Love it all, inside and out.
Heck yeah!
One Flow Joe played the accidental wiper push off well. Great video as always
You know it brother!
great review! I love this car, I ordered one 2 weeks ago. btw, you called it an escalade @ 16:57.
That is one Badass Ride 😎
You can say that again!
U can definitely see the attention to detail vs Dodge performance cars!!!
Lol @ “windshield wipers work great” right after he hits the stalk by accident. You have to love Joe.
You are currently the best car entertainer so far on this app. Keep it up 💪🔥
Best Cadillac ever
You are so right about that!
@@RaitisRides special special car it's only going to go up in value unless someone totals it
This makes me think about way back in the day when big v8s went away and small 4 cylinders took over. All I’m saying is electric cars isn’t lasting forever lol
I think they took the media screen out of the old Kia Stinger and plonked it in this :) however it is hard to argue with that exhaust note. That is awesome
Hey Joe... Love this Caddy Blackwing...no supercharger whine inside well I guess its a luxury brand ... Yes I would love it also but that would be over doing it for a luxury car.. Love ya videos been watching for so long and when u lol from enjoying the cars so do I..Great camera work to the Wifey... No more dropping it like its hot, its get low Joe lol
Thanks for being so supportive and for your great input!
That’s a tough question Joe. I would still have to go with the hellcat of coarse.
I like to ask the difficult ones. ;-)
Nah buddy that down force is amazing and tech that hellcat is not as luxurious either
@@tye9713 completely true, but hellcat is just preference for me lol.
@@adrianamarok1579 bro if it's not a demon I'm not that hyped for a hellcat over this beauty, the ctv can take off before your wheels finally can get some grip
@@tye9713 really not trynna be that guy so, yea great opinion bro. Good day lol.
Joe wish you did the manual shift as Shmee150 done on his channel earlier. I believe you would of loved it...
ua-cam.com/video/hMYRPjLO6vY/v-deo.html
I actually did it before him.
@@RaitisRides I dont know how I missed this??👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Well you know Joe, here you are in beautiful California weather with upper 70's and 80's, no need for even a sweatshirt, driving a beautiful car and I'm in a beautiful car (but you can't tell due to salt, snow and dirt) in beautiful cold Wisconsin (can't tell due to all the salt, snow and dirt), low 20's and 30's in February! Sometimes life isn't fair. But I'll catch up to you Joe every summer! 😂😂😂 Seriously, thanks for the videos bro with your lovely wife who's a pro with the camera! Love your videos!
This is a badass blackwing batmobile! I’m ready to see a hellcat vs. blackwing showdown!
I describe the CT5V Blackwing as a BMW M5 for M3 money.
Anyways, at some point you should review the M5CS.
Isn’t the ct5v 106k? I didn’t realize m3’s were that expensive now. Holy cow!
@@TheBruceWang No, the M3 is not. It's a competitior to the M5, both in price and size.
Good call!
@@ytsux9259 yeah I was confused because he mentioned that the M3 was the similar price point to the CT5
M3's base price is $70K. That guy doesn't know anything.
Quite frankly.. Cadillac is a higher end brand.. Higher quality and this thing is rare which means higher resale value.. Chargers are a dime a dozen
I think you are right!
oh man. mr raiti is the best salesman i ever seen. so passion
Love It. I've got a 2018 Cadillac ATS AWD 3.6 But I believe this CT5-V Blackwing is my next car 🚗
