    Options impact on resale

    Of the options you listed, CF1 or 2 can be easily (relatively) added later, especially for a 5BW although at some expense for factory parts. I wouldn't let that be a determining factor IMO. I added the full CF1 to my 4BW including the dive planes and I'm happy with it.

    Nope. It's the same part but the part number has changed.

    4 BW discounts?

    How about a leftover 2024 Arrival Edition...

    Wow, the price on those has really skyrocketed. This is what I purchased it for in 2023:

    Rear Diff Fluid

    Assuming the CT5 is the same, this is the process for the CT4 (note step #3 in Installation Procedure).

    Cleaning this thing is a BITCH !!!

    I wouldn't use them for bugs, but supposedly you can use the synthetic clay towels to remove contaminants without damage to surfaces protected by ceramic coatings. But verify with the brand of towel you use.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    Watch out. The highway patrol has spoiler sniffing dogs now and you can get hard time for that.

    Looking for brake pad recommendations for track driving

    The owner's manual mentions this in the Track Events and Competitive Driving section starting on page 213...but no cross references from the tire section so it's easy to miss.

    PDR operation

    It should be in the Settings tab per the manual:

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    A Tapout Purple Belt package can match the 5VBW output for a lot less than the cost difference of the two cars.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    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.

    Is the CT4V Blackwing fun at legal-ish speeds

    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.

    Software Updates

    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!

    Carbon fiber PN database.

    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.
