Price dropped!

Hey Everyone, Back in September I had an unfortunate accident that totalled my Blackwing (fell asleep at the wheel the morning after drinking some Nyquil - don't mess around with that stuff!). Anyway, as I decided to go another direction instead of getting another Blackwing, I'm selling off my...

somewhere around 21k miles and no squealing here

If you're not planning on carrying around a lot of passengers/cargo, they should be fine. The main issue is the lower load rating for the rear tires, hence the non XL designation.

So as I mentioned before, I was curious about the fact that these wheels are Mercedes spec and Porsche spec respectively, and wondered about whether that meant they had a different compound structure. I emailed Pirelli to find out and it turns out they do in fact differ, and Pirelli does not...

I know on the regular ATS, it was 5x115 but on the ATS-V it is 5x120, so I wouldn't be surprised if the regular CT4 is 5x115 while the Blackwing is 5x120.

@Mirza Grebovic What kind of wiggle room are we looking at in terms of offsets for new wheels, assuming I stick with 18x9s up front and 18x9.5s in the rear? I believe the stock setup is +28 in the front and +48 in the rear, correct? Also, I know the Blackwing brakes are quite a bit larger than...

I hadn't considered the trunk issue, good point. I may just activate Teen driver on my spare key fob and give that to them in that case.

I'm dropping my car off to get ceramic coated tomorrow, so I decided I'm going to put the car in Valet mode, to prevent any shenanigans. I was playing around with it, and it looks like all I can do is activate or deactivate it. So, with it activated, the max speed is set to 85mph. I'm not sure...

I wonder if there are any significant differences between the mercedes spec and the porsche spec sottozeros? Having two sets of tires might bother my ocd 😆 @Mirza Grebovic would running a square setup (255/35s) have any negative effects, other than a decrease in straight line traction? Or...

So I stopped into the dealer today just to just to say thanks, and to ask about the bronze wheels. The gift was totally a random thing, they got in some Blackwing swag and Tom figured I'd enjoy it so he sent it to me.

Hey guys, So I just received a care package from my dealer along with a hand-written note. I'm not sure if this is the reservation bonus that was mentioned earlier, or if this is just something my dealer decided to do on their own, but I figured I'd share it with you guys (Don't mind the messy...

I believe Blaze Orange is supposed to be an exclusive color as well

The manual will definitely be rare/hold value. Most other options don't generally hold value unless they are something that people feel they cannot live without.....I can't think of any offhand, since the 5 is pretty well loaded in stock form, perhaps one of the 5 buyers can chime in for that...

As a fellow NYer, I'm curious who your original dealer was. Also, I say let them find out on their own. If a manager can't be straight with you no need to extend them that courtesy.
