We figured having a CT5V Blackwing—with its 668hp supercharged V8, manual transmission, and ability to overpower its rear tires easily—for an extended stay would be exciting. Thrilling, even. The pulse rising started on day one. Even while we were fully respecting the 1500mile breakin protocol
of not exceeding 4000 rpm or using full throttle, the Caddy ferociously spun its tires on a chilly, wet day. But we had no idea the adventure we were in for. A heart transplant didn't stop this supersedan from riproaring into our good graces—and across the country on a 48state road trip.
