I think it's not a bad matchup.

No launch control means no mindless driving

The dark horse looks so freaking good

Now do it with DH non-HP

The rear roofline in the four door is a tad tight.

The Mustang has grown to the size of a Caddy. In some pictures it even looks bigger than the Caddy. Never though I'd see the day......

What I'd give for a sub 3300 lb production Mustang...............

Mustang FTW!

Once again, the drivers are the limiting factors here. I miss Jonathon.

Would’ve been interesting to see manual versions.
I considered the blackwing because it’s unique availabllity in manual.
Otherwise it’s just a 4-door auto Cadillac. Not interested

Besides being available in a manual, what makes the Blackwing interesting to me is that it's built on the same platform as the gen 6 Camaro, which reviewers generally find to be better handling and more engaging to drive than the Mustang. Too bad it comes with a turbo V6 instead of an NA V8.

I was looking at one that they had on the lot randomly when my dad went to pick up his ct5 Blackwing and I said the same thing. It was a manual and they let me take it for a spin. It was pretty fun honestly, but I think it was a huge miss not putting just an n/a v8 in it. It would have been the perfect small sedan if they had.

Yeah, good point , twin 6 is just not the same if you want that muscle car sound.
CTS-5 BW puts you over $100k and with that $ I’m in another level car choice bracket.
Don’t get me wrong, sick car but still a 4-door sedan. Dated as well.
coupe and V8’s for me!
