Nope, definitely not. This WAS happening around COVID time, but everything is back in order. Change dealerships.

Exactly what rubberduck said. Something seems off. the PS4S tires have amazing traction, especially the OEM ones specifically designed by GM and Michelin for the CT5VBW.

10000000% agree with you. Even worse, it was somehow on constraint when we placed my order in 2022 for a 2023 model, which is nuts.

The part where he’s looking for a Blackwing in England, can’t find one, and additionally, the price to import being so high due to the tariffs is mind boggling. One would think the Europeans would want access to a vehicle like this, but that price is supercar territory.

3 car seats across the back seat? I don't have a 4BW, but my 5BW is packaged as such that the back seats have more space than my previous '16 CTS-V (per my teenage kids, and the eyeball test). The space is perfect. HOWEVER, you bring up a great point -- a well spec'd 4BW and a "beater"...

Man, I'm at 20,100 miles currently. I was feeling content with the idea of keeping this car forever, but every time this thread gets bumped up to the top, it's a reminder that perhaps I should consider myself lucky that I haven't had a single engine issue thus far, and move on to something...

Agree with FLYARMY. Very sound theory.

100%! Also these landscapers that don't tie down their foliage removal -- branches, leaves, rocks flying everywhere, yet no cops to ticket general public hazard like that. BUUUUUT, take the Blackwing over 90 MPH with no traffic in sight, and boom, they magically appear. 😒

Multitude of reasons, but it's definitely not JUST environmental. For those of us who live in the congestion of Phx, its: 1) Landscapers driving around doing their "xeroscaping" work with rocks constantly falling out of the back of their beds and onto the freeway (this is the #1 cause). 2)...

I would honestly report it to either the dealership or directly to GM. The NEXT joyride could be much worse (hard launches while engine is cold, etc etc). The issue is he will continue this type of behavior with all BW's that come through until there are repercussions for his actions.

This is the WORST, but very commonplace in AZ. So much so that I believe the majority of insurance plans just embed windshield coverage into the plans. True story -- I got a large rock chip the first 48 hours after bringing the car home. I'm on my 4th windshield in 2.5 years of ownership. IF...

I just got mine from Savage, and love love love it.

Manual... for all there reasons already listed. Only reason I traded in a paid off V3 and took on a car payment (again... ugh).. but definitely, definitely worth it.

uhhhh, yeah. Not sure what the heck they are thinking..

My God that's beautiful! Great job!! I've been toying with the idea of doing Stealth Matte PPF on my Wave Blue Metallic, but just haven't had the time to take the vehicle to a shop yet to "sample".

I live in Phoenix, and nothing works as well as Heatshield. Have one for ALL my cars, and will never go back to the others we have tried: https://www.heatshieldstore.com/ Additionally, we have tried the umbrella one from Amazon noted above. Use it for my daughter when she got her license...

You sound like me right now! lol. I was going to trade it in due to life changes (my commute changed and I don't want this expensive of a garage queen), but then changed my mind after being low balled at several dealers for trade in. I've settled on keeping it, but prices are again rising...

@flaudia402 ... any updates?

This…. Is the perfect, concise response. I second this, and to avoid redundancy, will not add anything more.

BTW, I completely forgot that Doug Demuro used to write for Jalopnik. The amount of talent that went through that website is crazy.
