I love my S4, it's a beast!
...But the CT5-V Blackwing looks and sounds amazing.
Has anyone on Stage2+ raced the Blackwing?
Any comparisons on power, performance, handling vs Stage2+ ?

Looks like mid 11s at mid 120s for the caddy. The Audi will have it for lunch off the line and will probably match it quarter mile but a tune and pulley on the caddy will be a monster.

Keep your S4 and drive it but purchase the Blackwing now and store it for your next DD when the S4 gives up the ghost. You will be unable to find new cars anywhere close to the B8.5 S4 and the Blackwing.

it may be fruitful for you to go read some cadillac blackwing oriented forums/facebook groups given that you're already very likely highly informed on the s4 platform.

my quick google results found that atage one is thousands of dollars in just tuning usually over 1,000 to unlock your ecu/tcu for tune and more fees for 'custom setup' aka bigger pulley / ported . I get the feeling their tuning market is too new and or not developed so it costs many multiples higher than any audi tune. There's a stage one kit that was 3500 dollars lmao no thanks

Go ahead and get a blackwing you traitor good riddance to you. /s
