    Can you beat this high score?

    933.5 gallons at 10k miles. (About 10.7 mpg) I’m getting low to mid 20s commuting (mostly highway) & 2-3 mpg at the track. I’ve obviously put a lot of track time on her lol.

    Blackwing down!

    Happened right in front of me & caught it on video on my catalyst. Still has the temp tags on it too! They luckily walked away. Unclear if they had track insurance or not.

    Fold down your rear seats

    Just do it. Removes a TON of sound deadening.

    Spring Mountain Track Times

    Figured we should start a thread where everyone could post both their AutoX times and lap times from the roadcourse & autoX at spring mountain. I'd suggest using the following format since different cars should run different times and there is more than one track used: Car: CT5 Manual AutoX...

    PSA: Idiot dealers will use the WRONG oil for your BW

    If you take the dealer up on a free oil change or are just having them change the oil and paying them for it MAKE SURE THEY USE THE CORRECT OIL! The WRONG oil part number is 88862479. This is for the dirt cheap EURO blend 0w-40 mobile 1. This oil is NOT dexos2 approved and is not a recommend oil...

    WTB: ct5 BW wheels

    I really need a second set of wheels so that I can have an extra set for track days. Anyone want to sell either a bronze set or a graphite set? I'd even consider the polished ones as I could always have them repainted or powder coated.

    Inside tire wear

    I'm currently at 2,500 miles and the insides of my rear tires are nearly shot while the rest of the tire has a TON of life left. At 1,000 miles I had the car put into the track alignment (-1.5 deg rear camber and -2.5 deg front camber) and after a few track days I have more wear on the OUTSIDE...

    GM cancelling warranty on z06, hummer, Escalade-V if flipped

    GM is saying they’re going to cancel warranties on these 3 cars if they are resold within first 12 months. They should probably add the 5-BW on there too… https://jalopnik.com/gm-will-cancel-your-warranty-if-you-buy-your-z06-from-a-1849350024?mibextid=vs2rir&fs=e&s=cl

    Any cool print ads for bw?

    I like to put up cool ads (usually magazine page sized) of cool cars I own or have owned. Searching google and eBay I’ve seen zero for the blackwing. Hell there isn’t even a physical brochure just the stupid color selector. Below are some examples of other cars. Anyone got any good ones for the BW?

    where to buy rear diff fluid

    My blackwing should be here soon and I'm trying to get everything together that I'll need to get things track prepped including diff fluid to change after the first 1500 miles/track day. The GM Part # is 19418501, but no online GM parts website will ship it saying that is it considered a...

    any good illuminated emblems?

    I love the look of these illuminated emblems and the design dance they do at start up. The issue is the Amazon reviews are god awful stating that they fade quickly, overheat and fail, as well as allow water in to fail. Anyone know where some quality ones are available? I imagine most out there...

    replace tires after 2 tanks or 100 miles ?!

    My ct5 BW is 'supposed' (I know goat rodeo) to arrive at the dealer late next month so today I started looking through the manual for all the recommended track settings. It is saying to replace the tires even if not worn every 2 tanks of gas or 100 miles. For me that is basically 1 track day. On...

    Carbon Ceramic replacement cost

    I have my order in for a CT5 BW with the standard steel brakes, but I can still change it for the next couple weeks. On other cars I know the CCB (carbon ceramic brake) rotors can be just flat absurd in cost to replace (4k+ PER rotor). I can't seem to find any online GM parts website that has...

    no cost front splitter?

    Looking at the order guide it is showing that the front splitter is mandatory on the 10 speed, but optional at no cost on the manual. I'm guessing this is maybe because it directs more airflow to where a transmission fluid cooler would be or something? Anyone know the benefits of optioning it on...
