When Jake says he prefers M2 over the 4V Blackwing - is he referring to Competition or CS M2? Cuz it's nearly impossible to find a CS for under $100k US. I have a M2Comp & really want a car w/ adaptive suspension. Is that CT4V Blackwing (fully loaded) w/ MT & carbon package a good enough option? Or should I keep saving up for Cayman GTS or that lovely new Lotus Emira?

Do you have the 10spd auto? Does it shift fast?

@scottandrews4822 9 ай бұрын

@daboxer181 Hi, yes I have the 10 speed auto, although I have had nunerous manual vehicles and motorcycles in my life. As you will see if you do any research, the auto is about. 4-.5 of a sec quicker in 0-60, and has benefits in the quarter too. It shifts EXTREMELY fast, especially in V and Track modes. With the paddle shifters, I don't miss a manual. My friend has a manual CT4-V BLACKWING and the spacing between gears is pretty substantial. I drove it and liked it, but the power delivery with the auto is so much better IMHO. Plus, I want to have both hands on the wheel when I'm trying to control something that is almost 500 HP I'm the size of a Honda Civic. It's a monster !

@type-d4813 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed...about the exterior. The front, especially the hood, look better and more agressive on the ATS-V! The ATS-Vs back looks fairly good too although not spectacular, but the CT4's back is kind of ugly duck style and the square tail pipes are of arguable taste... The interior seems better on the Blackwing tough, especially the "display" (gauge cluster) and functionnality of everything. Still I ordered a Blackwing... because I always wanted another orange car and aside from Nissan nobody ever offers that color. With red calipers, torch red seat belts and "graphite colored" wheels like in this review. I was thinking about getting my ATS-V painted in orange (already got the red calipers) but it'll end up being almost as expensive to get it done...:-P Besides I heard that the engine sound is better on the Blackwing!;)

To answer the question in the video, the CT4-V is easily the best sport sedan for the money in my opinion. Having daily driven an M2 for almost three years and had seat time in the competition, the Blackwing would be the far superior daily companion. The overly harsh ride on most modern M cars is enough to keep me from buying another one. Combine that with sky high maintenance costs, no thanks. This Caddy is a proper M3 beater and I love it.
