Which one to get — and which to avoid
✅ The one to get
A 2025 CT5-V Blackwing with the 6-speed manual, standard iron Brembo brakes (skip CCB unless track-only), and the Carbon Fiber Package for cooling/aero — this is the config enthusiasts and future collectors are chasing.
🚫 Avoid
Heavily optioned automatic cars with the carbon-ceramic brake package driven exclusively as commuters — you're paying for track hardware you'll never use and risking brake groan complaints.
