I honestly think the CT4-V Blackwing would have a hard time with the M240i given that it’s AWD. However, I’d take the Blackwing all day every day as the better driver’s car (with a manual).

The Blackwing is the only one that you can time with a calendar. But in reality, it's a nice car to drive.

The Blackwing is priced at the M2 level, I would hope it offers better performance. When you spec it out it's generally even more than the M2 too.

That’s NOT a Blackwing. It’s the regular V with a turbo 4 cylinder.

Why not put 230i in the mix, at least it would be more interesting to watch.

One of slowest BMW’s vs fastest VW and Cadillac in its class

An old man's car has a pretty good shot at winning LeMans this year then.

They would if the race was sanctioned by IMSA... I imagine that car is going to be nerfed into the ground before it even hits the Mulsanne lol.

RE: this drag race - all it shows is that the M240i is still a unique data point of performance and price point.

I guess it's just because my grandpa would buy a new Cadillac every 3 years or so. The association is hard for me to let go of. 😅

Ha ha! Mine too! But that was actually in the 1980s.

CT4 looks like as if it's standing still compared to the BMW and VW.
