    Blown Engine(add me to the list)

    Ugh!! My sympathies. Well let me be the first to make excuses for the manufacturer (which happens way too often around here). "Well, all manufacture's have issues don'tcha know..." "Hey the LT4 6.2s don't have anything to do with the L87 and it isn't even conceivable that the LT4 may have a...

    Engine Failure

    A HUGE part of it I'm sure. Assuming that the LT4 may be included in this whole mess (a reckless assumption for sure). Actions typically aren't taken until there is overwhelming pressure to do so.

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    I was really torn between the Typhoon Metallic and the Deep Space Metallic and had to make a decision sight unseen. I am absolutely thrilled I went with DSM. Such an awesome color in my opinion. Colors are so subjective though. Have the confidence to get exactly what you want, regardless...

    Buying a pre-owned high MSRP 2024 CT5VBW or a new 2025 model?

    Not choosing sides, just wanting to gather additional info......how do you know the 2025 LT4 is exactly 100% the same as the '22s-'24s? Could it be possible that they made the same tweaks/upgrades in the '25 LT4 that they did in the '25 L87 to address the issue(s). Aside from being on the...

    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    So my soon to be 5BW was built second week of January this year. My plug was actually pressed in all the way from the factory. Here is the picture the technician took upon their inspection.

    CT5-V HORRIBLE experience with Bayway Cadillac SW

    ABSOLUTELY NOT!! But I'd imagine there are plenty who may be willing to forgo the Goat Rodeo for 92 miles, unfortunately.

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    This is were I am at. I am on the verge of getting out of the Goat Rodeo and....... I would think this is almost certainly true. The lack of will probably be long forgotten by the time this is figured out. If not, then I'll bet it could be remedied. Total frustration with GM though...

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    I'm afraid I'll be in the same boat when it is my turn. Not much we can do I suppose. Stupid blunder for sure!

    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    So has Cadillac actually contacted those who took ownership of 25s before this was discovered? Or are they just waiting for the owners to find themselves on the side on the road with oil everywhere, searching for answers (this thread)?

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Still in the rail yard, just waiting for the dealer to take delivery. Good Grief!!! The dealer says they have no idea how long it will take to get it from the rail yard. Crazy to think they have a $125K product just sitting in the yard exposed to the elements. You would think that would be...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I am getting so green with envy with everyone's pictures. Mine has been sitting in the rail yard for a two weeks now......just waiting for it to be delivered to the dealer. Honestly, how long should that take?? The Goat Rodeo just goes on and on....

    25 5VBW Easter Egg

    700+ HP for the 26s!? Has this been confirmed from a reliable source? A different tune possibly to squeeze another 30+ HP? If true, I wonder if it would be a noticeable difference........

    Engine Failure

    Well, all manufacturers have issues don’t you know. 🤷‍♂️ On a much more serious note, it would be wise to have a lemon law lawyer on speed dial. Ugh, sickening!

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Which hardwiring kit did you use? Does anyone have an install tutorial for the 5BW? My neighbor recommended the VIOFO A229 or the newer A329. Anyone have any experience with these?

    Engine Failure

    A decade should be enough time to iron out disastrous fatal failures, no?
