It's about time someone came out with a good exhaust for the 5BW!

I had no idea any auto manufacturers were using aluminized steel for exhausts. I just assumed the BW exhausts were the cheap-ish 409 Stainless Steel, which will corrode/rust unlike 304SS. 409 is very commonly used on OE exhausts.

I am anti-sunroof so I totally get it! Sounds like you got a perfect car at a great price. I'm jealous!

That's a very good deal. I know they can't give away the high spec IMSA ones (one was offered at 20k off to a friend, who didn't want the matte paint and graphics. They ended up finally selling it for 25k off MSRP to someone else)

Very interesting, thank you for the insights. I loved my '21 CTR but have heard the FL5s ride even rougher, which is saying something! Anyway, congratulations on the 4BW - absolutely amazing cars to drive!

Congratulations! Former CTR owner here, too ('21 that I sold to get my 5BW 6sp). Would love to hear your feedback on the 4BW vs the '23 CTR. I am contemplating both cars if I trade my SUV in.

The BRaptors are not selling here in Texas. Big discounts but still roughly 90k so way more than you are thinking. A really nice 2 door Badlands with the 7sp manual is in your budget easily. I haven't driven any manual or 2 door Broncos but the 4 doors are pretty fun, which suprised me.

Have you considered a new Bronco 2dr with the manual? Total left field choice but the Broncos are just plain fun to drive (in ways that Jeeps never seem to be for me). Plus, you can go anywhere, any time, in any weather which is a nice quality.

I predict that once you get used to the way that Z06 pulls to redline, you will be addicted. Low and mid range power is nice but the real excitement is with an engine that screams to the redline. Of course, if you are still unhappy with the LT6, you can then trade the car towards the supposed...

Congratulations on getting the Z06! As the owner of the other American flat plane crank V8 (GT350R), I am very jealous of you getting a new Z06! As I have mentioned in other threads, I do wish the LT4 in the BW revved out with more gusto like the 5.2 Voodoo. Can you imagine a 5BW with the LT6...

I already have nicked the chin spoiler (I do NOT have the carbon splitter) on my 5BW so I can't imagine wanting to lower it. Plus, I find the chassis dynamics to be so nice that I would have the same concerns you have about hurting that aspect. I guess worst case scenario is you can swap the...

OP - have you owned or test driven many cars? The reason I ask is that even for a very jaded person like me, who has owned and driven so much hot metal over the last 30 years, the 4BW is still one of the best driver's cars I've ever driven. If you like the driving dynamics of your car (i.e...

Yes, details please! And any info on how to do the swap would be much appreciated.

And speaking of the GM/OnStar debacle, here's a podcast about it. It's not just GM.

I need to apologize - my rates actually did NOT go up for this coming 6 month period. They went up last time and I just didn't even remember that huge increase last fall because I had a lot going on. Sorry.

I just got my latest State Farm bill for the next 6 months and it has gone up SUBSTANTIALLY. I have a feeling it's because of the brief time I was enrolled without my knowledge. This is such BS.

Interesting thread because I have been confusing myself with the modes, too. On my 5BW, it seems like Sport driving mode plus holding down the TC button until the 2nd light comes on removes most of the nannies but defintiely not all. V mode plus holding TC button down until the 2 lights are on...

Have used both on several cars. I love the SC2s but my threshold for pain might be higher than most. However, I have PS4S on 3 cars right now and love them. There is a 3rd option in those sizes per Tire Rack: The Bridgestone Potenza Sport. I had them on my now departed Civic Type R and...

Had this issue on my 5BW. Solved it with the SRP pedal. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/5bw-6sp-heel-and-toe-issues.4556/

OP - changing to a different transmission fluid will most likely improve your 1-2 shifts. Tremecs are notorious for exhibiting the symptoms you describe. It is not user error. BTW I am not an 'Amsoil guy' so to speak but it has been great in my GT350R's Tremec TR3160. The stock fluid in my...
