From last weekends practice sessions. Those cars are bright and Jordan Taylor signing something for a fan.

Should we set up odds on which resident ahole ruins this thread now??

I thought of making a similar post but skipped. You would hope people on a Cadillac forum can simply enjoy the photo and appreciate how baddass all the Caddies look! Thanks, RD, cool image in my book.

I'm disappointed that none of the first-day executive orders involved removing the front plates!

I thought there might be something about vinyl wrapping or at least debadging!

What’s not to love. My thoughts exactly, these are some badass Caddys. No doubt the most expensive ones in the world.

Honestly GM does a terrible job not capitalizing on making a marketing connection of the Presidential Limo to production Cadillacs.

I suspect these armored vehicles are not modded by GM.

Apparently GM custom builds these off a TopKick medium duty truck platform, and they weigh 20,000 pounds.

Maybe the secret service doesn't allow it, but seems like a wasted golden opportunity to use it or a look alike to promote Cadillac in commercials.

Part of the issue may also be that after the mods, they're butt-ugly cars.

My old shop had a side business modding Suburbans (and possibly Escalades but I can't recall) - adding armour plating as well as additional lights (red and blue etc and otherwise) and com gear etc. As the Crown Prince of Dubai co-owned the building I think he and other Middle Eastern Monarchs were the prime customers.

I think they look great for what they are designed for. I would drive one, I like big cars.

IMSA used Blackwings as part of the pace car fleet. That clip was from the 2023 Rolex ...

thanks for sharing. It's cool they give the manufacturers the opportunity to showcase their cars

All 3 GTPs earlier today. Still at the track so these aren't full resolution or processed at all. I have... many many more that I'll have to work through.

I was going to post this in that other thread where the member was complaining about how expensive the ZR1 was, but saw that he was banned and that thread moved. Anyways, it’s a relative performance bargain, supported by the attached. USA! USA! USA!

The Most Underrated Sports Sedan Currently On Sale

In 2025, the mere existence of V-8 sports sedans should be celebrated, and perhaps more so if it's something as brilliant as the CT5-V Blackwing.

These photos are like the ones my 2.5 year old daughter takes when she steals my phone.
