Experience a thrilling 1:16.67 lap in a Cadillac CT5V Blackwing at Spring Mountain Motor Club's East Course, recorded on June 10, 2023. This lap was achieved during the Cadillac Driving Academy, where trainers typically complete laps in the 1:14 to 1:16 range while expertly multitasking with radio communications and student guidance.
Despite making several mistakes, the driver managed to achieve back-to-back 1:16.67 laps. Track conditions were warm and dusty, which limited traction. The Cadillac CT5V Blackwing proved to be an incredibly capable machine, showcasing amazing power, otherworldly handling, and exceptional braking performance. The ability to decelerate from 130 mph to 50 mph in approximately 150 feet, with ample reserve braking power, is truly extraordinary and highlights the robust engineering of these vehicles.
