Actual dealers cannot charge over MSRP. Now, they CAN make you buy a bunch of junk you don't want first, but the actual watch will go out the door MSRP. I've found a lot of similarities in the Blackwing waiting game and the Rolex waiting game. There are good delears and bad dealers. The lists...

I was under the impression that GM loans the Cadillacs to Spring Mountain, then takes them back at some point. The Corvettes are all owned by SM.

Front and rear monochrome badges are sold together. 84670237 is the part number. Unfortunately, the crests don't come in black, but all the other badges (CT5, V (three), AWD) come in a package together. That's part #85104907 for them in black. I have all black on the back of the car (crest...

Someone is really saying this at Spring Mountain? I wish Mythbusters was still around to do an episode on this, because a damper setting is really not going to make any difference at all when you hit a rim damaging pothole at 50mph.

What dealer? You can check to see how many Blackwings that dealer has been allocated. If it's less than 5 since 2021, good luck. Also, you need to figure out how many people are in front of you at that dealership.

@WONT TAP , just curious. With Global B, are you able to tune just as easily as any previous ECM? As in, do you have access to just as many parameters as you did with the ATS-V, C7 Corvette, etc? Is GM turning a blind eye also? I was under the impression that they could essentially access the...

Too many factors. Ask your dealer what number in line you are, and how many allocations they have gotten since production started in 2022. With CF1, CF2, and the seats, you may never see a car. The dealer should contact you when they have an allocation for you, and tell you what exactly is able...

They are "stop-flat" tires, which is the opposite of "run-flat" tires. It's the dumbest thing...they could have just called them "tires."

No one knows the total production numbers, no one knows how many years they will be built. GM is always very tight lipped on things like this. I keep saying it, but reference the C7 ZR1. A one year model run. Very few saw that coming. Get one while you can. Maybe they will go cheap after the...

Not exactly Wave Metallic, but take a look at this A-Hole that wrapped his blue Panamera (Possibly Gentian Blue, which is equal to Wave Metallic, IMO) with matte white. I yelled at him for disgracing the greater blue car owner population, but I don't think he could hear me over the LT4. (more...

$60/qt and you need 1.6 qts!!!

I was told in no uncertain terms not to NLS by a SM instructor, after he heard it on the launch control runs. He claimed a few cars had new motors, blown up from NLSing for extended periods of time on track. The reasoning was higher EGTs due to spark retard and fuel cut during NLS caused exhaust...

There we go

Maybe the blue accent package on a blue car might make sense, since you won't be able to see it.

I just messed with the latest configurator and noticed these $1100 packages. Yikes. Has anyone ordered these, or seen them in person?
