After many Corvette years saying good bye to the Forum
After being a Corvette guy my whole life and having had at least one car from every generation with the exception of the C-8, I'm changing directions having recently buying a Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing. There is a lot of knowledge on this site and people have been great in sharing their information with others. Wish everyone the best it's been a great run.

Even though you may not own a Corvette, that does not mean you can't still hang out here and contribute. Hopefully you will stop in every now and then.
Congrats on your CT4 V - I for one would be interested in your thoughts about the car and how the performance stacks up with your previous cars.
Hall1836, I have considered doing the same. Maybe it's age but the had ride, avoiding bumps, is getting tired.
I would enjoy you updating with pictures, your reasons, pro's and con's, and thoughts after 3 months of ownership.
Have learned a lot more about the car since being interested in them, originally was looking to go for the CT5-V with supercharged Vette motor. The cost kept rising with additions, they also changed the look in 2020 and it's hard to tell the difference between the V cars and the regular sedans. The dealer I got the car from must have high sales because he always has V cars. I've since learned that there are waiting lists on these cars with preorders up to a year, people are paying up to $10,000 over sticker, and hey don't offer any incentive for price reduction. I got this car off the floor heavily optioned paid about $100 over sticker and dealer threw in some extras. It is RPM limited and the little bit of driving I've had I like it. Rides way better then my 2017 Grand Sport which I traded in. Car is twin turbo 6, 472HP, 455 Torgue at 3500 RPM very nimble, posted times 0-60 3.7 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12+ at 114. Will try post pictures here soon. Car is supposed to compete against BM M3 and others.
Apparently the LAST combustion based “V” series they will make !!!

More than one way to stay in vettes too. After 7 years of great road trips in 2 different C7s, my sweet wife said she'd prefer to take road trips in a car that was more comfortable for her, and we already had a '20 CT6-V (that car rocks. I knew I wanted one, ordered even before orders for the '20s opened up via my long-time Caddy dealer and corp, and waited 11 months for it). So I sold the C7 and got a 'foreign make' that is fun but more of a GT car than a sports car. But here is something else you can do: get a vintage vette. We have an L71 roadster and the old school, cammed up motor really puts a smile on my face.
I still stop by to see what my old friends in the C7 forum are up to. Great group of enthusiasts, and a great car. Best, Paul

I considered doing exactly the same; similar performance, obviously much more comfortable as we mature and usable.....not a bad decision. Enjoy the new ride.......
You're moving on but it's like a different house in the same neighborhood! Cadillac V products are very good. I am still at the stage where I like my exhaust loud, my suspension low and firm, and my transmission manual...but I also understand those desires may change with time. Have fun with the new ride!
