I can't say that I feel my 4BW is lacking in low end torque. I think it's potentially a gearing issue for the manual compared to the automatic. There has been information out there on the gearing ratios between the two. But since the poster was using the auto, he'd probably really hate the manual.

Use the Auto Seat Exit Memory Recall if you aren't already. I use it because I can't open my car door very far in the garage, and the seat moved back makes getting out a lot easier. Should help make the bolsters less of a problem too.

God, I loved my 8-track player. No tape rewinding. Up to four songs available at the push of a button. Sometimes even get to hear two songs playing simultaneously. Audio technology at its finest!

Most of the online stores (really just dealers using online marketing) typically have significantly lower prices than retail. Not sure what the at cost values are, but you have to respect the shipping costs for these parts because they can be substantial.

Some tantalizing windshield discussion for your consideration... CT4-V - New windshield, new rattle

It seems Hyundai management has their finger on the pulse of America's auto enthusiasts. https://www.motor1.com/news/765061/hyundai-says-nobody-wants-manual-gearboxes/ Automatics, electric, electric handbrakes and fake engine noise are the ticket to success.

I'm over my head here, but Tapout has discussed these new systems and this thread has some good info Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results As I understand it, the cars do control the power output, but that is estimated based on sensor information, not a direct measurement. So...

I installed the Tapout rear spoiler on my 4 BW and it uses studs and nuts on the outer corner. It's difficult, but you can do it. I posted some information on doing it here: Carbon fiber PN database. I prefer using a nylon insert locknut on a stud versus the factory clip because the clip is...

I love how they took a hand-built, hand-painted car and added dealer ceramic, anti-theft, and tinted windows 🙄

That red one is 6-sp, but on the other coast. The only option is the paint color. I was just checking to see how much inventory there was.

If you're looking for new there seem to be several out there. I ran a quick inventory search on cadillac.com and it came back with 82 within 500 miles of Ohio, including 11 2024s. A lot of those may be customer orders in transit, but I doubt the 2024s are. Here's a snapshot sorted price low to...

Maybe get some lightweight aftermarket wheels and put the Cup2s on those if you track it or just want to use them sparingly for fun. The stock wheels look nice but they are super heavy. Then get the TPC PS4s on the stock wheels. Of course, you'll need a third set of wheels if you want all...

I've had my car up several times using this rubber disk off Amazon Amazon.com I don't have CF2 on my car, so it can just squeeze into the slot. Actually, I slip the rubber block into place and the plastic side trim holds it in place so I can slide the jack under it when it's in perfect position...

If you just bought the rears, you'll need to do lots of burnouts to equalize the tread between front and rear. 😏
