    MY2026 - What is the ordering process like?

    Knowing the good doctor Zoomie... it's probably right next to what Borat is asking about here...

    CT5-BW Brake Wear

    Roughly a 0% chance you need new brakes at 6400 miles unless you've tracked it multiple times.

    Honestly OE works really well unless you're experienced on track and pushing hard, or just running notoriously hard-on-brakes tracks. They run the OE pads all day long at Spring Mountain and they hold up; mine survived Pocono and Lime Rock without issue and just track fluid. Ferodo DS2500 is...

    XP12s are probably going to eat rotors with street driving and are specifically flagged as not for street driving given they need a lot of temp to actually bite and will dust like crazy. Believe Carbotech advertises all their compounds as compatible so you can flip from 1521s to XP12s when...

    Tall Steve's Blackwings

    I can answer for me based on my poor man's Lyriq (Acura ZDX). As a pure commuter or grocery getter, an EV is unmatched. Really quick, silent, and basically maintenance free other than tires.

    I call it "Old Man Racing Blue" as a joke but it does look damn good.

    Got it - then he added the CS/CSL "style" more open grille and a bunch of exterior carbon.

    Others may disagree, but I have decided it is very much not worth my time to deal with an officer deciding to take his bad day out on me for an insignificant infraction. I'd happily just pay the fines if they would mail me tickets, but that's not how it works unfortunately.

    Met a friend at the commuter lot. First CS I've seen and the front is still... bad.

    Yeah, Road and Track ran with including the Blackwings (incorrectly).
