I read the thread a year ago and honestly don't remember. I have no interest in going through it again. I still muse over the title. When this topic got refreshed a week ago, I had the same reaction from a year ago when he posted - and imagined a Blackwing destroyed at the factory, crushed...

Congrats. You should be able to get the carbon. I tried, unsuccessfully, to get a 2024 Black Diamond Tricoat. I don't think that color will continue as a 2025. If it does, I'll be loosely tempted. But the front end... major downgrade to my eyes.

LOVE this color, congrats!!

February 2023... yes, hopefully it is settled by now!!

I find it so laughable to see people "create" things and pass it off as their own. Like the "General Motors Jeff" guy or whatever his name is. Constantly showing computerized tweaks to existing trucks and taking to social media to show us the new truck he designed. You want to design a new...

I am not actively following values and prices on 4. But we have a member with an Atlanta edition posted for sale that has to be the best deal on a Blackwing since the car came out. If you want an auto, buy his!

GM definitely has issues these days. I still believe the LT4 is a very reliable motor, and am not yet convinced all of the issues people post about are wholly GM's fault. Yours, of course. And as you say, the problems are always broadcast online. It is just impossible to judge fairly without...

I feel for the OP. But I also wonder how many of the "online reports" are really true. And even if they are, what is the history? Maybe the car was redlined multiple times on test drives, long before the break-in period? Or other protocols not followed? Did C&D really do all of the break-in...

Thank you for posting this Sir. I have the top level semi-aniline seats on my current 5, and I had the mid grade seats when I owned the 4. I am set on keeping the top seats. I guess my must haves are manual, BDT, semi-aniline seats, and PDR. After that I am flexible. There are some others...

I know you are getting Black Diamond Tricoat. Congrats on that! I tried, unsuccessfully, to order a BDT to replace my Rift. It is worth it to me. Alas, not gonna happen. I will happily admire yours every time you post it!

Your prize is AMAZING. The automatic 4 is my least desirable variant of the Blackwing cars, but this is really tempting!

I disliked the new front immediately. And the back... it goes fine on the 22-24 models, but why leave that unchanged and add this new, edgy, mean front end? Total mismatch design wise.

I only own manual, and as posted, am not sure about auto. I thought I read the autos will not let the RPM rise above 4500 or whatever it is for the first 500 miles. But as I said, on the manual, it is up to the driver.

Does anyone honestly think that car with 155 miles has never been pushed at WOT or redlined? I think the autos might keep the car from exceeding the break-in rev limiter, but the manuals do not.

The price would have to be right. On a manual CT5-V Blackwing, 155 miles is used, in my view.
