I think this is going to be an unpopular opinion for 22-24 owners (I’m a proud 22 owner myself). But thus far I have yet to hear about a 25 5BW randomly blowing a LT4 and they have been out well over a year. By comparison within 1 year, several examples of 22-24 cars listed here and not listed...

https://www.torquenews.com/17998/2026-chevrolet-corvette-grand-sport-reportedly-revealed-gm-dealer-event-wide-body-and-new-66l Seems like there is a new 6.6 V8 coming. Wondering if a version of this will end up in the CT5 successor.

I got my 5BW in early 22 when they were super hard to get at MSRP from Scranton Cadillac in Vernon. They didn’t play any games. Order accepted within 1 month. Car arrived in 4 months. MSRP as advertised. I called every Caddy dealer in CT and they were the only ones that didn’t do a markup then.

I mean, considering there are 5 million injuries a year and 50,000 fatalities a year from car accidents, the chances of a deer jumping out in front of your car and totalling it or you getting a tire blow out and being stranded are going to be higher than your motor exploding. I would say if you...

Agreed. GM way overshot the BMW individual / Audi exclusive model and went straight for Bentley/Rolls strategy. Paying 5k for a custom color is exactly what BMW does and they are selling custom colors like hot cakes. 60k extra for an entirely hand built Blackwing is a harder sell. I also...

Yes. While he was at Mercedes they kept him pretty clean cut. Now, though he is Finnish, he looks like a red neck with his porn star stasche and mullet. Put him in a wife beater and give him a PBR and he is the perfect driver for an American team. Zhou might be a good idea if GM wants to...

Manual, because it was cheaper.

Glitch in the matrix. Nothing to worry about.

Prob only worth like 50k. Makes no sense whatsoever to sell it.

Massive off topic alert: We've got entirely too many strollers. We have the Uppababy Vista 2, and the frame fits easily in the 5BW trunk. I never tried it with the stroller seat in place since I always used the adapter to put the car seat onto it. The Vista 2 was the first stroller we got...

Unrelated but Liquid IV is the dumbest name ever. All IVs fluids are by definition liquid, unless you want to kill a person.
