    CT4-V What to get after blackwing? <55K USD

    Lexus RCF could be an option if you want something a little different and with a great character V8. Also should be good on the reliability and depreciation side. Lotus Evora may be interesting too and technically is a +2 with manual option. Toyota powertrain though otherwise cant speak to...

    Potential Used CT4-V Blackwing Buyer - Things to Look for?

    There were a couple other inquiries recently about pulling over rev info but I haven't seen anything definitive on how to retrieve that info. I have to imagine that it would be stored on the ECU. Probably over thinking it, but I have heard other GM vehicles and brands having warranties denied...

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    Definitely a good value for the next person, but I think spending $14k or so over 2 years is good for the first owner too. You basically worked out a 0 down, ~$600/month lease over 24 months on the BW which is a great deal

    New tire setup or tires for my ct4-v Blackwing for the track

    The specific tire/compound may be the biggest factor, but the sizing differences would also impact handling. You rim and sidewalk are larger as is the width and resultant contact patch. The turn in, body roll/weight transfer, and other handling characteristics would all be affected. All...

    Does your BW go fully into every gear when the engine is off?

    Mine does not engage all gears, seemingly goes 'halfway' in some cases and generally lacks smoothness Also have some of the operational issues folks have noted including the 'crunchy/notchy' 2nd gear shift and occasional popping out of 1st. I'll be going to SM nearterm and am interested to...

    Hello

    Yeah, when I got my charger I saw that the top speed was 127 mph. Having a manual in the mix though feels like more damage could be done so would be nice to know whether new or used if there's a way to specifically check any codes for things like over rev

    Very odd, very specific issue with break in period (more of a PSA for anyone with less than 500 miles)

    Interesting timing, I was recently thinking about this relative to 'money shifting' particularly during the break in period (my car had 200 miles at purchase so started worrying about anything that could've happened). I was curious if it logged that on the ECU, but maybe it just isn't possible...

    Hello

    Did you get any additional info on this? A friend just scared me recently discussing dealer transfer stories (attendants driving cars between dealers). My car had ~200 miles on it new so got me thinking... It sounds like the ECU may store over rev conditions for warranty reasons but haven't...

    Opinions on PPF options

    Any issues/regrets? I was thinking maybe the brake dust would be more noticeable, or road debris causing chips easily etc

    Opinions on PPF options

    Looks great man. Which rims did you have to start? And how much did they charge to do the gloss black?

    CT4-V Question about financing incentives for CT4-V Blackwing

    Anybody seeking new or used car financing should check out United States Senate Federal Credit Union Aside from specials like this direct thru the car companies, I've found their rates the lowest (right now they are at 5.74 for 72, 5.99 for 84 on new auto loans)
