Gorgeous car! The CT6 is one of the nicest looking Cadillacs in recent memory. Unfortunately, just as GM has done soooo many times before, they get the recipe just perfect, and the whole thing is cancelled.
Exactly, so what the hell's wrong with them !?!???. thank heavens on their new trucks they went back to a round fender for the round wheel instead of a square fender with a round wheel !!!! I mean come on seriously GM who in the hell create sand designs a square opening for round object. And trying to put a larger tire on their trucks.... ugly. And then you're cutting into fender Wells. They leave no room for growth and imagination to be able to make the vehicle your own. yep I'm a GM guy but holy crap when are they going to get somebody in the driver seat who can think out of the box and think for themselves and quit making the beds and other parts that look like someone else's design ...like either it's part Ford or part Dodge ....the box on the new Chevy trucks looks like it came from last year's Ford recycling bin. Yeah Gale was smart to jump in on this one.... Cuz GMO find a way to screw it up. You know the sad part is it's like watching a movie that's really really good, it does well at the box office, so then they make several sequels and milk it for all it's worth . But all the rest suck in comparison to the first.
@@trakyboy5128 The CT6 was awesome, but a half step. it was a tweener between the 5 series/E-class, and the 7 series/S-class. There will be another flagship that is larger, and more prestigious.
Chevy uses the round fender & GMC is still the square shape. I like Buick sedans to keep it on the down low... This CTS is nice too ! I have a 2008 lacrosse 3800 V-6 it's perfect; for a sedan.
Johan de Nysschen This car will for sure go down in history. It's defiantly the last of its Cadillac kind. I appreciate the hard work and great engineering that sadly will not be seen or enjoyed by many, but it'll be enjoyed by Gale Banks and hopefully shared with us!
What a legend! Thank you for properly introducing the science of this engine and appreciation as it should. Great knowledge!!!! This is review a vehicle at its finest. Thank you Mr. Banks
Love this video, especially your enthusiasm for the CT6-V, very genuine! I bought one myself, love it. I wanted to tell you about the brake pads, pretty dirty and noisy sometimes. I contacted a company in CA, Porterfield Racing and after working with them they've made replacement front & rear pads. Many of us from the Cadillac Forum has swapped over, they're very good and reasonable and since they only ended up making 996 '19 & '20 V Models and no one else makes pads. They're made of Kevlar & Ceramic and they outperform the Brembo (Ferodo) Pads with no dust.
Yes sir. Thanks for the mention. We had an ATSV TT 3.6L and held the fastest et for about 2years with a manual. We have a video on our channel search Fasterproms ATSV
I had to watch it again just to hear him say he's "gonna murder this thing out" one more time! 😂 I hope we get some future updates on this truly awesome car! Congrats on this purchase sir!
What can I say about the man Gale Banks that hasn't been said already? I love his unbiased opinion of the big three automakers when they bring a great car to Market. Too many people want to bash The Big Three and not give kudos to the great cars that they do produce. Gale Banks is a wonderful insightful mechanical mind man that I love to hear from on his channel. His enthusiasm is infectious and his detail mind of the Motorsports is refreshing. Keep up the great work with your company and this TH-cam channel Mr. Banks.
@@normt5463Na no coupes , unless its the ancient beasts from the 60s & 70s. No offense or judgment to anyone that does like them, just not my style. I have old man taste in cars so Im a land yacht lover for the most part lol Though I will say the Vette is sexy eye candy. I love the way they've sculpted the rear end in recent years.
Gale Banks it is so fun to hear you talk about something you have so much passion and insight on all these vehicles you do your ideas are brilliant..... And Cadillac is my brand! Can't wait to see what you create out of this car!
Sir, you've got yourself a sub!!! Congrats to your awesome Cadillac!!! The kiss at the end pretty much says everything about you as a car guy! I had goosebumps all over ..... Looking forward to more vids of this beauty!
Man! I've been watching Gail for years. I remember when he started with after market turbos for diesels and those things would haul ass! Hell! This was before internet, you know when we used to buy magazines, Hot Rod, Car Craft, ect..ect
Mr Gail Banks and a Twin turbo awd V8 caddy. That thing should become a Legend just like its owner. Ive been a fan since I was a young kid. Thank you air for showing us a beautiful and american made beast.
rANDOMdUDe If you work hard for it man, there are better things down the line. When they announced this back in 2018, there was no way in hell I could get one. Keep working at it. I’m hoping they can continue the Blackwing down the line in the CT5 and CT4 lines. This engine shouldn’t die with this car and help it be available in cheaper modes.
Scott Walper Thanks! Just got it yesterday and gave a 0-60. Then had to put away as the snow fell hard today. Probably won’t get it back out for another week.
@@UniverseIndistries If you could try out the AWD system and update us if you don't mind I know the salt on the roads is something to worry about though.
Hey Gale, I have your parts on my cummins but I just bought a CT6 Platinum blackwing. Same as your car but with supercruise and quiet exhaust. Does anyone offer an exhaust for our cars?
Fantastic video and a beautiful car! The CT6 is my dream car, I’d love to have the 2020 in platinum trim because it comes with the Blackwing (with a little less power) and it has all the luxury features I want. But I’d love to see a video from the future of you driving this thing on the road and the track! I’ve been wanting to hear that engine roar. Thank you again for the great video!
I owned a 1990 Mazda MX6GT with all-wheel steering. Nissan offered it in their Z cars as well. It worked opposite the front wheels at slow speed and transitioned to turn with the front wheels after about 30 mph or so. It gave the Mazda cat-like reflexes. I loved it. Glad to see its return.
Your knowledge and passion for this beautiful car is infectious! Thanks for sharing, Mr. Banks. What a shame GM no longer has Johan de Nysschen or this car/powertrain.
Absolutely Awesome Mr. Banks! I hope to be able to ride in one some day. I am still in Shock Cadillac is discontinuing this car! I am about to purchase a 2018 CTS-V. I currently own a 2009 Pontiac G8.
Just bought a 2015 ATS 2.0 T sedan rwd . I'll be satisfied with this for a while hahahaha ! Maybe I'll step up one day luvin it . You're fun to listen to Gale .God Bless You. Nothin' old about you .
Man soon as you smiles and Saud got to love that I subscribed I know this video is old but your presentation got me brother. My 2018 CTSV IS A BLAST I'll get out and test one of these soon
Mr Banks I can not think of any one more deserving to own this piece of history than you. Both You and Your new Baby are first class in my books. Also hats off too all involved at GM.
So this is my first time viewing this channel, and I can tell you now this guy is a genuine car enthusiast... great taste in American muscle cars, the marauder is my all time favorite, this blackwing is next on my list, if he has a C10 around that shop, ima know something... I subscribed!!
I can’t wait to see what Banks does with this sweet thing! Can you please show us some videos of the car on the track? And maybe a driver cluster video of the car accelerating?
Yeah, old video/thread, but did you guys ever come up with any mods for the car? Ive had my V for a while and would just be happy with the speed limiter removed.
Gale, I'm proud to see you in that car. I would want one in my retirement, but I guess I'll have to settle for the 'vette. Love me some boost! Is it wrong we dont mind turbo lag? Wife went through 5 omni glh turbos back in the day. VR4. EVO. All kinds of pony cars. She can row that boat! Thanks for being so clear and precise. You are my hero in the industry. Can I have the marauder?
Gale Banks has to be one of the coolest old guys to ever live!
HE WAS ALWAYS COOL AGE DIDNT CHANGE THAT FACT JACK . I AGREE HE IS A COOL OLDER DUDE INDEED
i sooooo agree with you. this guy knows his stuff, not only on caddy but on engines and turbos
He wasn’t always old

PUNKem733 I don’t think there will be another big car. Americans seem like they are scared to make big luxury yachts the size of a 7 series.
not canceled, that was a miscommunication on GM's part. only a limited production of them per year.
Hearing gale banks say "im gonna murder this thing out" 😊😂
Haha Soo true 😅
A true AMERICAN dream car 🇺🇲
Damn he broke the motor down in a cool way. I just fell in love with this car all over again.
Mr Banks just got my own CT6V because of you.Thx for this video. Now would love to see your upgrades on your car.
I want to see Gale work his magic on this caddy!!
While most people fade out as they get older. Gale Banks just shines brighter!
Johan de Nysschen This car will for sure go down in history. It's defiantly the last of its Cadillac kind. I appreciate the hard work and great engineering that sadly will not be seen or enjoyed by many, but it'll be enjoyed by Gale Banks and hopefully shared with us!
So I guess your new series is gonna be called "How to wrinkle ashphalt " have fun Gale!!
65bug519 more like wrinkle a driveshaft!
What a legend! Thank you for properly introducing the science of this engine and appreciation as it should. Great knowledge!!!! This is review a vehicle at its finest. Thank you Mr. Banks
Can't afford it, but I want one! Glad to see Caddy "bringing" it😀
Mr Banks was that excited, he was nearly lost for words. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy.

Oh man. This car is engineered so well.
I wish some other channels could get a hold of this, like fasterproms.
Well, itd be a collector Frankenstein.
Fasterproms would make the car a lot healthier with some port and polish and some other goodies
I wouldn't change a thing. On the Blackening 🚗Ok with a sunroof- delete PKG though.
Yes sir. Thanks for the mention. We had an ATSV TT 3.6L and held the fastest et for about 2years with a manual. We have a video on our channel search Fasterproms ATSV

The most exciting guy to follow in the auto industry bar none!
We need an update video on this beautiful machine!!!!
Beautiful car!! I’m getting my 2019 ct6 30.tt sport this week! Can’t wait 😜
What a true car guy, seems like the guys you could talk car to for awhile
Sir, you've got yourself a sub!!! Congrats to your awesome Cadillac!!! The kiss at the end pretty much says everything about you as a car guy! I had goosebumps all over ..... Looking forward to more vids of this beauty!
You sir are pasionate about cars...the ending was what i did a few times with my cars,you have my highest respect
The CT6 and C8 are the only two cars that made the fans happy.. it's been a hard minute to be a GM fan.
Man! I've been watching Gail for years. I remember when he started with after market turbos for diesels and those things would haul ass! Hell! This was before internet, you know when we used to buy magazines, Hot Rod, Car Craft, ect..ect
Jesus, that is the most handsome car ever!
Any updates on this CT6V you can share? Did you get new wheels? Murdered out?
Mr Gail Banks and a Twin turbo awd V8 caddy. That thing should become a Legend just like its owner. Ive been a fan since I was a young kid. Thank you air for showing us a beautiful and american made beast.
He is one of the coolest dudes ever!
I never been this jealous in my life! The blackwing an the marauder both favorites of mine.. Enjoy
Makes me happy to see Mr Banks so happy!
Can’t wait to have mine delivered! Been paying for it for two months and it’s still not at the dealership!
Lucky😒🤘

Awesome CT6-V. This should’ve been the engine they launched the CT6 with.
Gorgeous car. I wanted one but they were all sold out. Enjoy that perfect Muscle car.
Ricardo Williams there’s one here in Austin at Covert Cadillac, I know a salesman if you still interested

So Gale. You going to tune that Caddy -. So I can learn and get mine tuned as well?
This car is the best looking Cadillac on sale today. I wish I could afford one. I would buy it in a heartbeat. It's a shame so few will be made
What an animal of a daily driver! Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing it with us. It has all the things we all want!!
Really cool caddy. I'm a 2018 zl1 owner and I think it's awesome gm is stepping up its power game with the Cadillac. Gm all day
I owned a 1990 Mazda MX6GT with all-wheel steering. Nissan offered it in their Z cars as well. It worked opposite the front wheels at slow speed and transitioned to turn with the front wheels after about 30 mph or so. It gave the Mazda cat-like reflexes. I loved it. Glad to see its return.
I love this Cadillac! its a beast on the road!
Chris Harris needs to Review this beast... Im a Mercedes guy... but im excited.
I have a feeling this is going to be an underrated classic in the future.
I have the V6 twin turbo 404 HP. It looks sleek and clean and can Getty up.
You are living the life sir! Thank you for sharing your new sweet ride with us. 👍
Congratulations mr. Gale Banks on your car that car looks very sharp can't wait to what kind of performance mods you're going to make for this car
Gale Banks is an American Treasure. Legit dude
Nice ride. Do a video with it at the track next. We want to see that thing corner!
Your knowledge and passion for this beautiful car is infectious! Thanks for sharing, Mr. Banks. What a shame GM no longer has Johan de Nysschen or this car/powertrain.
That's one hell of a bad ass Caddy.
Bought one for my wife, she loves to drive her little monster. Good review...
Absolutely Awesome Mr. Banks! I hope to be able to ride in one some day. I am still in Shock Cadillac is discontinuing this car! I am about to purchase a 2018 CTS-V. I currently own a 2009 Pontiac G8.

Merry Christmas Mr. Banks. (-:

I love your knowledge of cars.beauttiful caddy
Happy you got a cool new toy, Gale. You've certainly earned it.
Any updates on this beautiful car??
Mr banks you always have cool toys to show! Watch all the vids and cant make me stop...
Man I wish I was gale bestfriend an I to wish johan was still there I think he was turning Cadillac into world class cars
Theres a reason he's not at Infiniti anymore either. Theyre still paying for his mistakes.
That marauder is badass and I can just imagine Gale cruisin to work in it!
Man soon as you smiles and Saud got to love that I subscribed I know this video is old but your presentation got me brother. My 2018 CTSV IS A BLAST I'll get out and test one of these soon

Priceless.!

i didnt even know this was coming. i thought it was just available in the ct6, didnt know they were making a v version of it. its like a modern gnx
Thanks for your video . . . it influenced me to buy one. Any updates, Mr. Gale Banks?
Hey Gale, Is there any aftermarket engine performance mods for this CT6-V to take it to the next level??
Chassis dyno!!!! I want to see what it does! Come on Gale, throw us a bone!
Not a small claim, but I think this might be the best car GM has ever built. And it’s being killed off. Exclusivity, I suppose.
I drove a few when they were being developed a couple years ago. Nice car.
How you finding the car sir,I'm thinking of buying one myself
Gale, you made me proud when you said you intend murder it out. Big fan of that look.
I would love that Marauder!
This is my Dream daily.
Now it's Banks power Racing ! Awesome video subbed .
Gale finally embraces the old guy stereotype and buys a Cadillac.. with a twist lol
It's nice. Understatement of the year
Yeah, old video/thread, but did you guys ever come up with any mods for the car? Ive had my V for a while and would just be happy with the speed limiter removed.
Chris Dillon built the Blackwing in my CT6 Plat-Wing as well. Love the car! Only made 625 of those so even less than the Vs.
Follow your passion kids and one day you too can be as cool as Gale Banks
Welcome to the OHC club, GM!
They've been making ohc engines since the 30s
How long before you "tweek" it? My guess....not long
Honda did the 4 wheel steering on the prelude back in the 80’s .
3000gt and stealth also had it
That front end is absolutely beautiful.
Very good video, and well explained engine specs!!
Beautiful car and wonderful layout of turbos and air to liquid intercooler, ford has similar layout in its power stroke. Really cool car Mr. Banks
Any turbo lag?
I love the ct6 v. I wished they offered the 4 wheel steering for their other models.
This care take my breath. The engine is magic
That license plate on Gale's Ford GT is one of the best I have seen.
Gale, I'm proud to see you in that car. I would want one in my retirement, but I guess I'll have to settle for the 'vette. Love me some boost! Is it wrong we dont mind turbo lag? Wife went through 5 omni glh turbos back in the day. VR4. EVO. All kinds of pony cars. She can row that boat! Thanks for being so clear and precise. You are my hero in the industry.
