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

You can definitely order 4S with V8V option. On your order worksheet, it should say: ROF Tires, 19" Foam front, Summer Only If the dealership did not add that even when you asked, then that is on them.

Congrats! That is one of my favorite colors. Not sure what exactly was attempted with that double stacked rear wing. It will look better if you took off the CF one obviously taped on top of the standard one. There are several choices for a proper CF replica 5BW spoiler that would look a...

You should definitely show the manager. He will want to know that his employees are F-ups. You should do this to reduce the chance of it happening to other customers in the future. I would not request any compensation, however a good manager will offer you something to keep your business.

Congrats on the impending CT5-V. Sorry about the SS. Great car and the kind that GM should have made more like. Post some pics of the SS if you have them.

I am replacing the pads (likely in about a month after my last track days this year). Since I track the car my experience is not applicable to people who just trundle around town. I am expecting to get about around 6-7 track days on a set of front pads. Depends on which tracks I visit as some...

In case anyone is searching for the CCB front brake pads, GM has an updated part number. Old: 85143795 New: 86804586 Still made by Pagid. You can tell them apart by the numbers on the back. Old pads are N22 and new pads are N23. Price has just about doubled.

I cut down a large square puck (see right side of first pic). That was necessary as the space I am using for the lift location is tight (see second and third pics). Last pic shows how it looks from the side. You will need to use the large QJ lift block and turn it 90 degrees so it will not...

I use the 6000TLX with my 5BW. My other car is too small for the 6000ELX and I wanted a single jacking solution. For the 5BW, I am using a different jacking point on the rear instead of the pinch welds. Definitely not a GM approved lift point but it seems strong enough. Had the car up a few...

Found on YT

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...
