Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

Here it is, the heart of the beast. The CT5-V Blackwing is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that delivers 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque.

Drastically reduced intake restriction and a freer-flowing exhaust system help the engine deliver those impressive output figures.

That V-Series logo is a subtle hint at the performance this car offers.

The new CT4-V Blackwing isn't quite as potent as its big brother, but it's still incredibly stout. Which of these Cadillacs would you rather have?
