Longtime V2 owner here and been lurking around the Blackwing forums for some time now - I'm very much a late adopter (didn't get into the V2 until the V3 launched and was auto-only which solidified my decision) and thought I had the last manual V8 supercharged American sedan ever - until the...

What does Alldata say is the process for removing the rear interior C pillar panels for rear belt access? I am looking to do this swap as well, front seems pretty straightforward as does the rear middle but the outer rears are what scare me, partially because of the airbag and partially because...

Are 5BW and 4BW lugnuts the same? Are you looking to part with factory black ones and if so what's the mileage on them?

Is it just me or am I seeing a complete lack of rotary controls for volume/tune on the manual?

I recall Dodge doing it with the 2008 Magnum (one year only facelift), the XLR-V got body changes that are specific to 2009. So there's precedent out there. This is GM we're talking about, it's not like they would, say, develop a whole TT DOHC powertrain and then kill it after just two model...

I found that the ideal solution was also the simplest. Live in a year-round fair weather state, no boring cars required. I chose AZ. Bonus - no need to shovel sunshine!

Hello fellow V-owners! Long-time 2013 CTS-V sedan (6MT) owner here, thought I'd keep it forever since the V3 was auto-only and never expected another supercharged manual V8 sedan from..well, anyone...then Cadillac comes out with the 5BW. Was not impressed at first when I saw the photos - car...
