Car and Driver: hold our beer and it doesn't matter. We recommend the Cadillac over the BMW.
The CT5-V beat all the BMW's, including the M5CS which was on much better rubber.

CT4-V is like older BMW's, lose in speed but wins due to driver connection and feel(at least that is what C/D like about the Blackwing). In the past Benz fanboys use to hate on magazines when they picked the BMW over the Benz eventhough the Benz was actually quicker that day. I remember the old..."the magazines are paid off".
That was especially true with the W204 C63 and E9X M3. The E9X M3 was primarily the winner because of driver feel even though it was slower in a straight line and was not that much quicker than the LCI C63.

Those were the times…
