    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Spotted a bunch of BW at Spring Mountain. Yes, I know it is cheating when it comes to spotting. :devilish:

    New 2026 CT5 BW manual owner - observations and anecdotes

    Congrats on the manual slick top. Glad you got what you liked without having to go through the goat rodeo. Agree on the reasons to get the car. 5BW is a super fun car for grown ups. Couple of answers/comments to your questions/comments: - agreed on the turning radius of the car. It is...

    23 BW - Grinding noise when turning right

    I do not what it is. But I certainly know that “dusty brake calipers” do not cause a noise when turning the steering wheel. The tech just threw a dart at the generic excuses dartboard hoping you would go away. Try to get a different tech when you go back.

    CT5-V CT5 Blackwing Deep Ocean Blue?

    Congrats to the owner of the manual with PP but without a sunroof. Someone must have looked up my preferred build. :thumb

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I like the sun visor cover site. If anyone gets some from them, please post what color you matched to. I just used vinyl as my wife has a Cricut so cutting is simple.

    New Blackwing 2026 CT5V Blackwing Manual

    Tan interior with the tan belts looks great in a black car. What made you trade the 2023 for a 2026?

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Covered up the airbag warning labels. I bought matte black and matte dark gray vinyl. The dark gray was not dark enough so I went with black. Not perfect but I like it better than the bright warnings.

    Black Diamond Tricoat production numbers

    BDT was a single year color on CT4/5 V series. Only in 2024 making it very rare. Great looking color.

    CT4- V BW Dash cam install?

    You could use a plug’n’play harness to provide power. Something like this: https://www.gen5diy.com/collections/cadillac-ct4-p-p-harness I assume the camera has a USB-C port for power. The version above has just bare wire, so you would need to graft on a USB-C port. You could reach out to the...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Which ones did you get? There are several ones for GM but nothing specific for CT5 or any Cadillac.

    CT5-V Brake Duct Info

    I know the CF front spoiler is different from the base one but it does not look that much different where I would think Cadillac would also want to have front tire deflectors for the street. But I am just a rando on the internet and not an engineer so lots of things are beyond my understanding.

    CT5-V Brake Duct Info

    It makes me happy that GM spent time developing brake cooling solutions for the 1% of people who actually take their 5BW to the track.

    CT5-V Brake Duct Info

    The front tire deflector are held on with four T15 screws per side. The owners manual says to remove them for track use (which I assume applies to both iron and CCB). I can see how they would reduce air flow to the control arm deflector.

    Site Down?

    I had the same issue with the site a couple of days ago. If you have, VPN, try a new location or turn off to see if it is actually down. That is what fixed it for me.
