Good grief this Cadillac is impressive, can't imagine what the 10 speed auto version would have been able to do.

Pretty cool concept on the race setup.

That's a pretty good test setup actually. I was surprised at how close they are there. I thought the C8 would comfortably win. Really liking the Blackwing. I have one on order just hope it actually gets built someday.

Yes sir! The manual is the big deal with this car. I'm only debating colors and wheels at this point.

A friend of mine ordered a Blackwing. I asked him Sunday if he has heard anything more on it, and he said they started the build and he should see it in 6 weeks.. He's been waiting for a while on it. Can't wait to actually see it!! He is selling his C8 that he just got a few months ago.
