The new Precision package for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing hones one of our favorite sports sedans.
IT ISN'T OFTEN WE can say that we really influenced a vehicle's development. And while Cadillac will never admit it in a press release, the CTS-V Blackwing fitted with the Precision package is a glass slipper with our name on it. And so far, we're the only ones to have driven it.
Back when we drove the V-8 Blackwing at Lightning Lap 15 [February/March 2022], we hypothesized that a stickier tire would crown it the four-door king of Virginia International Raceway. At the time, the Caddy was just 0.1 second off the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S, which rode on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s. Well, with the Precision package, even more extreme Cup 2Rs are on the Blackwing's menu.

Forget the bestseller list—we’re stacking our to-read pile with novels in which cars are the main characters.
IT WAS A MEDIOCRE BOOK, the kind you pick up at the airport and forget by the time you get to baggage claim. I couldn't tell you the plot, but I can tell you which cars were in it. I remember because they were unusual models: an Oldsmobile 442, a Dodge Shelby Charger, and a '73 Plymouth Road Runner.

Time to Re-Tire
Ford Maverick Lobo HIGHS: Raucous Lobo mode, shrewd parts-bin upgrades, rad (standard) wheels. LOWS: Not so sporty in other modes, no extra horsepower, would be a lot cooler if it had a grippier tire.
