When it comes to blending luxury and performance, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a serious piece of equipment with its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine, delivering a staggering 668 horsepower and a top speed of 205 mph. Priced at a competitive point, it offers a remarkable balance of power and cost. However, for those seeking even greater speeds without breaking the bank, several cars on the market exceed the CT5-V Blackwing’s performance while remaining under $150,000. This list highlights ten such vehicles, showcasing that high performance and affordability can indeed go hand in hand.

6 Cars That Are Faster Than The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (And 4 That Almost Make The Cut)

Fallston, MD

There’s nothing more exhilarating than the throaty sounds of a vintage Trans-Am racer carving its way through a road course as it downshifts into the legendary corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway. The scent of race fuel and rubber adds to the adrenalin rush that leaves an indelible mark on anyone who has experienced it. That passion inspired Steve Ramsey of Fallston, Maryland, to create that combination of vintage looks and potent performance in this wicked ’63 Ford Falcon GT. The Falcon’s diminutive size made it a perfect model to transform into a modern-day Trans-Am-style asphalt-burner by packing every inch of it with a speed shop’s-worth of go-fast goods and making it ferocious on the street, road course, or even the dragstrip, while delivering plenty of dependability.

Those of you with long memories will remember that one my first posts here, way back in Twenty Aught Seventeen, was a defense of sedans. I may have been wrong -- Nissan is the latest OEM to reduce its amount of available sedan models. This is the same brand that once touted sedans to us assembled media during a press launch.

QOTD: Can the Sedan Be Saved?

Remember a time when you could get a manual gearbox in an all-wheel drive car and send it down a dusty trail for maximum fun? Those were the good days, and when rally racing and hot hatches hit their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, nothing made you feel more like a rally driver than the combination of AWD and a manual gearbox. But times have changed, the manual has fallen out of favor, and hot hatches, well, while there were once nearly a dozen or more to choose from, we're now down to just three or four genuine contenders. But of those that still remain, only one gives you that combination of a shift-it-yourself gearbox and drive to all four corners: the Toyota GR Corolla.
