Does anyone know what options are currently on constraint right now?

Very hard to predict as they are fluid week to week. Even an order that has constraints can squeak through on a given day depending on the availability of the constrained item(s).

Just spoke to the Dealer this am. Mine has been built for a little while now and is just sitting out there in the elements. No word on when the vehicle will actually ship out.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I think the final push in the Goat Rodeo may be the hardest. Just......right......there.........so close I can taste it.

For all those who are waiting I must insist that it’s worth it. I’ve had mine for a month and change and it’s beyond expectations.

Good to know.

I just realized new c8 z06s are being marked down substantially and it’s making me rethink my decision.

Blackwing is not for everyone. You gotta want a sedan. A handful of members bought one and then traded for a vette. Some then dumped the vette.

But there are others here who bought a CT5-V Blackwing in manual and have exhaled knowing we have a forever car. That's a great feeling.

My requirements were:
- Sedan
- Quality manual gearbox
- Agile with good steering feedback and cornering ability
- More than ~350 horsepower
- No Sunroof and a nice interior

If you told me I could have any car and I'd have to drive one car for the next 10 years and couldn't sell it, I'd pick the same car I ended up with.

That's what it is all about for me. For others it might be a Z06, or a BMW, or whatever. Regardless of the selection, I find it rewarding to have one that makes you forget about the others.

True. This^^^^

The Vee does deliver on miles and smiles. Different flavors for different folks. I guess as enthusiast's we are all looking for something similar in cars.

Enjoy.

I sometimes think the 5V BW is too plain compared to the likes of comparable cars, but then I'll see a CT5V (non-BW) and think how nice they look on the road. Like, I turn my head for a double take. Where I live, even a regular 5V is super rare, and therefore my BW is easily the only one around for probably 100 miles.

I LOVE looking at other more exotic cars. My son and I will walk some of the local lots with Ferraris, Astons, McLarens, etc. I admire how incredible the styling is on so many of them. Certainly I would be pleased to add a nice 2 door coupe long term.

But as drool worthy as those other cars are, I am equally drawn to the under-the-radar styling of the Blackwing. Definitely more "me".

I appreciate the exotics as well but unless it has a manual transmission, I pass on them. I know what I enjoy driving.

How about a stupid question. Can anyone get me an allocation with CF1 and CF2 in the Long Island area? I’ve had a down payment for over a year so I could be first on the list for a 2025 at a relatively large Cadillac dealer by me and so far they’ve only gotten allocations without both CF’s. I don’t want one that the dealer ordered, I want to order one with specific options.

Someone posted this week that their order was accepted with cf1 and cf2 (not on constraint) so if your dealer gets an allocation AND assigns it to your order, you should get it.

As far as I know they haven’t gotten one in a little bit
