That’s slower than the slowest car in my garage, my BMW SUV
But seriously, who needs all this crazy power in a big sedan without a proper performance transmission and AWD? This thing should be running 2.8 sec 0-60.

Who the hell needs a manual transmission on this 668 hp 4100 lb supercharged four door behemoth? Track car you say? Just take the Shelby GT500 or the Camaro ZL1.

Basically, the new CT5-V Blackwing is a car that every enthusiast will like but nobody will buy. Again...
You are definitely the only one here saying that 3.7s to 60 is slow, and somehow bitching about the manual transmission offering. The 6MT is a perfectly acceptable 'performance transmission' and let's be honest it's a total pipe dream to put a DCT in a car like this. Your x3 has an automatic anyways, and tops the 60 sprint (a meaningless metric, fwiw) largely because of AWD, which is less fun to drive.

I'm not GM fan either, just giving credit where it's due.
