    No lift shift question

    Yes on all counts — but there must be something off on the timing occasionally. I guess practice will make perfect. I’m sure I’ll have chances to flog the car at Spring Mountain and hone the technique.

    No lift shift question

    Have had an issue intermittently when NLS. Only has happened in the first to second shift, but I let the RPM’s get up close to redline, NLS to second, and second gear won’t engage. Meaning, it’s like the gear shift is locked out of going into second. Only fixed by letting foot off the gas and...

    Is this a "leave well-enough alone" situation?

    Nope. I’d make them fix that FOR SURE.

    How long do you wait after starting the car to move it off?

    I wait until I shift it into reverse - then I’m moving!

    CT4-V 4BW current miles

    I’m at just under 7000 miles. Noticed there is condensation inside my driver’s side tail light. Also part of the plastic dash appears to be flaking up on a corner — just discovered that one this weekend. Not pleased with either - both should be warranty work but what a pain in the rear.

    New Owner CT4 BW

    That feeling of watching the clock until you drive it again does not go away any time soon. I have had mine since August and still bolt down to the parking garage with a smile on my face at quitting time.

    New owner questions

    Spare tire from modern spare is high quality and, while it does take up a fair amount of space, for me it’s an excellent trade off.

    I am in Friendswood — not a lot of great places to rip around town in Fwood. The 4BW is like a caged beast…

    What did you all drive back in the day?

    Maybe the winner for the worst car back in the day: 1989 Geo Metro (3 cylinder, 3 speed auto, 52 hp) Then I had a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL (I think the SL stood for SLow) 2001 Honda Civic (cheapest cost of ownership to this day) 2008 Acura MDX (actually just got rid of this one) 2003 Honda...

    CT4-V Cadillac vs. GM Dealerships

    Funny about the test drive - I told the dealer there was no way I was buying a car unless I drove it first. They let me drive it. The rest is history.

    Dealer damaged my roof lining?!?

    My black paint was AWFUL from the dealership. Took a competent detail guy 12 hours to correct it. Dealership was not interested in cost sharing.

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    Sounds just like my journey. M3 or 4BW -- read everything and watched every review I could get my hands on. For the price difference, it is a no-contest for the 4BW. And I love it!

    CT4-V Windshield Replacement Woes (Don't be like Me)

    You never know what you're going to find on I-45!!! Or downtown Houton where homeless people have been known to throw rocks at random cars in the morning. Thankfully, I have avoided that so far, but it happened to a coworker...

    CT5-V My new car has arrived. And a lament about the paint...

    I have a Black Raven 4BW, and while I don't have the defects that you show, someone clearly went nuts on it with an orbital or something and had no clue what they were doing as the paint is badly swirled. I got some of them out myself with a DA and swirl remover, but there are many remaining...

    Same message -- after a panic attack, noted the recommended pressures!

    Door Alignment - Adjustable?

    I elected to do the swirl removal myself this weekend. Told the dealer I didn’t want the same guy that caused the damage trying to fix it. I was afraid I would have no clear coat left. At least with my many hours of sweat, I know it will be done right.
