I don’t recall disguised trucks having the skirt at the tail end. To me they are obviously trying to hide the rear end drive train. What could that be? If it was a traditional rear end there would be no need to hide it. Electric perhaps without the rear differential? They are hiding something there.

You have a real problem with generalizations. You read: Read more
Of course he is extremely good but defying physics good? That is a lot of mass to change direction at what must have been very high speed in a production passenger car on DOT tires. I would like to try that thrill ride.
lol, well said. Even skilled ppl tend to underestimate just how much better true pro’s are at something.
Rory, that was an amazingly well crafted article. Thank you for bringing this to life.
As my handle would suggest, I scowl at those who buy these in auto guise. You are slapping the automotive gods in the face for giving you a gift you will never be able to get again. Read more
My man... you are not the current weathertech champion and I doubt you’ve ever won le mans.
Spectacular review, Rory. When I first read about the Blackwings, I told my wife basically what you said here: I am eager for electric cars to arrive, but I’ll miss gas engines and I’m glad that a number of automakers seem to be going all out on their swan song. Read more
With BMW and Audi discontinuing manual transmissions, it’s ironic that Cadillac, the stereotypical American “old-man’s car”, is the last marque to offer a 6MT sport sedan. Read more

However, by the end of this article I genuinely found myself conflicted over whether or not another AMG would be in my future or if one of the last V8 Cadillacs would be a better car for… Read more
Excellent review, Rory. I can attest to the excellence of the Alpha platform and “god’s perfect motor”, a supercharged small block V8 having driven a 2020 Camaro ZL1 on numerous occasions. I love everything about these CT5-V Blackwings and I’m so glad Cadillac figured out a way to make them a reality. As fun as… Read more
This review is an affirmation of the mantra my Old Man used to say (and I firmly believe), “The definition of success is driving a Cadillac.” Read more
What a great review. If it was 10 years earlier and I was in the same life position I’m in now, I’d seriously consider one of these. But about 5 years ago I decided filling a tank with gas and burning it to get myself somewhere was dirty and helping to destroy the planet, and I needed to change. So I committed to… Read more
I have many racing miles at VIR and a couple of trophies. Still accelerating through the esses in those big beasts? Maybe. Flat-out? Color me skeptical.
