You mean the CT5 with the LT4 that's coming out?
If you're waiting for the C8Z, this is definitely a good choice for an option to get in the meantime while you wait.
If you're not the type of person to get emotionally attached, i say definitely consider that LT4 CT5 as an option to get while you're waiting for the C8Z. With what's going on, who knows when anyone will get a C8Z. Even for the people who were very high on the waiting list, would probably get it mid 2023? So those were late to join the list (like me), i am assuming i'll have mine early-mid 2024. That is a long *** time.
The LT4 is a monster. Amazing amazing engine. Would have tried a ZL1 but the visibility is a deal breaker. Would get the CTS-V, but then i'd have to go used, and the 8 speed auto is TRAASSSHHHHH.
But an all new CT5 with the LT4, and a 10 speed auto?
There's your winner.

The CT5 with an LT4 would be a fun car. Would be a good choice while waiting for a C8Z.
