    Precision Package Owners - How is it?

    Precision Package is wife approved. She hated the ride in my GT350 and my Golf R. 4k miles (in Tour Mode) with her in the passenger seat. Zero complaints about the Precision Package Blackwing.

    Academy 27

    I am at Area 27 in BC, Canada for a couple of track days with the Audi Club (Pacific Northwest Chapter). Area 27 must be where GM does their Corvette and Blackwing track days as the had a bunch of C8 and Blackwings all decked out and ready to go (other than needing a good wash). About half the...

    There's a CT4 BW on carsandbids. Just an FYI in case someone is looking for one.

    I am just glad GM gives us the choice to have a sunroof or not on our cars. Many luxury cars have it as a standard feature.

    Some track action with a 911 GT3 RS

    I spoke to a guy at my last track day who had a GT3 RS. He said it was a beast on track. But he was trailering it as he had a 2h drive to the track and found the ride too punishing on the street.

    Where do I find caliper paint code?

    Anyone know the paint codex for the calipers? Specifically the blue calipers. It looks like a rock got stuck between the rim and the caller and left a nice set of ugly scratches along the top part of the caliper. It can only be seen with the wheel off but I know it is there and would like to...

    Z06 to CT5V BW

    The 5BW does a good job of masking its weight. It accelerates and corners like a much lighter car. As far as size, it does not do as good of a job. The turning circle of the car is horrendous. So you notice it in every parking lot. At least I do. But I am used to smaller cars and not hulking...

    Cadillac V-Series paint colors 2022-26

    Curated by Cadillac looks awesome for those who really want a unique car and are willing to pay for it. Sort of relevant to that, here are the 2024 CT5-V Blackwing Special Edition colors.

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    It is tough when you get into a bad headspace. Just try to get into ‘the zone’ where you are just enjoying the driving experience like you do on the backroads. Keeps your eyes up and your head free of negative thoughts.

    GM N25-250336 update

    I am bringing it to the dealer. GM can pay them to do the updates until they can figure out how do software updates via OTA.

    Switched Blackwings today!

    Car looks great. Love Typhoon green. If you had spec’d the Parking Package and PDR on the 2025, then the price of the 2026 was a nice surprise. Regarding the calipers and the Precision Package, the choice of a caliper color is free and also mandatory. So while non-PP can be had with grey...

    GM N25-250336 update

    My car has been hooked up to a battery tender for days and the update still failed. So the battery may be one of the causes, but it probably is not the only one.

    CT5 Blackwing 1,200 miles dealership visit!

    Diff fluid is a good idea but GM does not require a break-in service for it unless you plan on tracking the car. My car direct from the factory had a terrible alignment. Not surprised yours does as well. Car looks great!

    TPMS sensor part #?

    Yeah that did not happen after driving more than 30min after being stationary for days. So either the sensors I bought do not work with the 2025 or the automatic learning process does not work.

    TPMS sensor part #?

    According to this post, the car needs to be put into learning mode. I have no idea how to do that on a 2025. 2022-24 cars are straight forward as there is a menu option. I could not find a TPMS learning mode item anywhere in the 2025 infotainment system...
