    Track day questions and advice

    Nice to see you use the car as GM engineered the BW to be track capable. The must/optional/wants change depending on your skill level. Since you will be in novice, my list applies to cars running at slower speeds on track. 1A. Some people will argue that high temp brake fluid is required. But...

    Track Spec Alignment: CT5V Blackwing

    Lowering the car will increase negative camber. With that you should easily get to -2.5 front. The only variable is the aftermarket camber bolts. I suspect they are not installed correctly and are limiting the camber instead of increasing it. I would recommend removing the aftermarket camber...

    PSA - watch those front splitters

    Sorry you had your front spoiler trashed by a pothole. This is the exact scenario I had in my head when I decided not to get CF1 but instead just to add the CF rear spoiler separately after delivery. My assumption was that someday I would eventually have something hit the front spoiler and...

    Cleaning this thing is a BITCH !!!

    Griots has a Bug Barricade product that works the same way as Pam but should be safe for the car.

    For those that track a CT4V BW

    If you are running novice group, you are fine running the car as is. Just add some extra pressure in the front tires to prevent them rolling over (since there is not a lot of camber on the stock alignment). Once you get faster and start braking harder, then high temp fluid is necessary. Better...

    Took my manual CT4-V BW to Laguna Seca and beat my Camaro SS 1LE's lap time

    Great lap time! Laguna Seca is my favorite track on the west coast. Hoping to get to NorCal in Oct to hit Sonoma and Laguna. I have not yet been there in my 5BW.

    CT5-V 2024/2025 Production Statistics

    Scroll to the right. There is a column called Packages/Options. There you can select Precision Package. I missed this as well as it is not clear there are extra columns to the right. The last column is Country. So if you see that then you have reached the last column. Hopefully the dev adds...

    Neon Race Track Wall Art

    These look great and a reasonable price if you get the full discount. But this is not for me. We instituted a “no more crap in the house” policy that we so far have been adhering to.

    Potentially Selling CT5 BW

    When I sold my Ford back to the dealership, they told me to cancel the extended warranty and get some money back as they do not offer any extra if the car has an extended warranty.

    Street Alignment Question

    I like a little toe in on the front. It makes the car less darty on the freeway. But the trade off is that turning feel is not quite as sharp or immediate as you get with a little toe out.

    2026 HPDE Season Kickoff

    Yes, thanks for the lowdown on OnGrid. Generally you do get what you pay for. The marquee car clubs (PCA, ACNA and BMWCCA) plus HOD seem to be the best bets in the PNW. Of course they are also the priciest.

    2026 HPDE Season Kickoff

    Looks like this is with OnGrid. How are they? The advanced groups are all open passing. That makes me nervous.

    New AAOS update? MY25/26

    Ugh. I am on version 12 from 2024. Car says there are no updates available. I will need to take in to the dealer to see what is going on.
