I am waiting to hear back from the dealer whether they will cover the rotors under warranty. Pads are wear items. But rotors apparently fall under a different category.

Greetings forum members. This is my 9 month status update. Total Miles - 16K Track Days on current rotors - 25 Track Days on EBC pads - 20 Track Hours - 40-43 Tires - 5th set of front tires - Michellin Pilot Sport 4S TPC. Original front rotors are showing signs of heat cracking, it is time...

By the way, there will be around 15 Cadillac V series cars attending this event this coming Saturday March 30th... CTS-V, CT4V-BW, CT5V-BW and a CTS-V wagon I think.

I am in and registered for the 9:30AM slot as well . I figure that BW qualify as Sportscars. I will inform members of the Philly V-CLUB. Maybe we can come in force for one of the days.

Does this count as a regular parking spot?

Hey folks! Sorry for staying out of touch, but my work has been kicking my butt for the last 3 weeks. If you are in the PA/NJ/DE area and own a Cadillac V Series, come out this Saturday March 30th! We are joining the Gateway Classic Cars & Chrome Event in the parking lot. The good news is...

Hey folks, I am coming out of hibernation for the season. The Philadephia Region Cadillac V-Club will have its first meet and greet of the season. We are jumping on the Gateway Classic Cars event on saturday March 30th. If you are in the NJ or Eastern PA area, come out and join us.

Cadillac/GM in their CT4V-BW service manual specifies the older oil - reference document 6131547: "Engine Oil 5W-30 - part #19293000". Yet, Mobil 1 claims that Cadillac performance vehicles come from the factory with Mobil 1 Supercar. Maybe they mean only the CT5V-BW. To me, that is...

Due to the ongoing confusion among Blackwing owners, Cadillac Dealers, and Cadillac customer service with regard to which oil and filters are GM/Cadillac approved and provide warranty coverage for the CT4V-BW, I have requested that the Cadillac V-CLUB seek clarification of these items from...

I will contribute my 2 cents to this discussion. Actually is more like $3000 in tires YTD. I will provide my data, my analysis and let you decide how to adjust your tire pressure to road course HPDE events ... Vehicle - CT4V-BW Mileage - 11,600 Track time - 15 days which is about 90 - 20...

The 5W-30 grade is the minimum spec. 0W-40 grade oil provides a wider range of operating temps, as in it's a better oil that the minimum required. The Cadillac V-Club had a presentation from Mobil-1 earlier this year. They provided a bunch of info. Including the fact that GM changed the...

I suggest that you use UPF63R - Part #12693541, it is the better filter. And while you are at it, make sure that the oil is Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40. You will need 7 Quarts. Of course the case is sold with 6 quarts. This stuff is hard to find. Filter online @ AutoZone Oil online @ Speedway...

Yes, the pinch weld adapter, rubber hockey puck, and a low-profile 3-ton jack does the trick for me. Lifting at the cutout location in the rocker panel CF. A square rubber piece would be better than the hockey puck.

Congrats on winning the battle at the end, even though your "win" is still costing you a bundle. Good choice on moving up to Porsche if you can make the price jump. You are right about the $70K price point for the CT4V-BW being the sweet spot. For me, I am going to try to wait it out...
