Refer to page 3 of the attachment for GM’s track alignment recommendation. They do not recommend toe out. I personally have run toe out and find it very good for autocross as it increase the car’s willingness to turn into a corner. But I find it less desirable on track (and on the highway) as...

The little pictures on the alignment sheet do not change based on toe in or toe out. They are just there to illustrate the concept of toe. Positive is toe in and negative is toe out. 0.1* of toe for our cars (assume stock wheels size) is about 0.0925”. So total toe in is about 0.185” which is...

I did my CCB burnishing during the first session I had on track. That was after about 3k street miles. No real way to effectively do the burnishing in the real world without the possibility of getting in some trouble.

Looks good for a street focused alignment. Way better than whatever came from the factory.

Houston? Must be swangas induced damage.

If the 2026 CT5 will continue until end of 2026, that sort of implies there will not be a replacement model available for MY2027

I am going to try Griots Bug Barricade before my next long trip. Hopefully that will make cleaning off the bugs easier.

You should post this in the General Blackwing forum. It gets a lot more traffic. With winter coming up, I am sure someone will take you up on your offer.

if you prefer the pre-facelift version, this one is similar to your old one but with black interior and no sunroof or PDR. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/2022-cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-west-michigan-14k-mi-6spd-infrared.6287/

Comparison of stock, short titanium and long titanium.

Did the Hyundai have a “Destroy the Manuals” sticker? Glad to hear you walked away with only bruises. The car did a great job sacrificing itself to protect you.

Sorry to hear about the totaled MK7.5R. Hopefully you were okay. HPA has a program where they will swap in a turbo VR6 into a MK7.5R to make a 550hp beast. Only problem is they only support DSG. And, also, I looked around for a cheap 7.5 with a blown engine and could not find one. So I will...

If you have the Precision Package, then just install those included rear toe links for the same effect as the SPL.

As promised, here are pics of the Blackwing logo titanium lug nuts installed on stock wheels. I went with the raw finish and long front lugs. Both the front (long) and rear (short) lugs stick further out of the holes than the stock lugs. One of the pics has just one single short titanium lug...

I just received an email that they plan to ship early next week. I will take pics but I do not have bronze wheels.
