To emphasize the "...most people don't even know that it exists..." quote.
I told some registration person at Sebring that I got a new Cadillac. Her comment was "oh, an old man's car." I preceded to break into my well-rehearsed diatribe about this ain't your old-man's Cadillac, spouting...
Good write up on your experience. Thanks! As I was shopping for cars, the AMG C63S was on the list....albeit at ~$20k more. So was the VW Golf R as a cheaper solution. (but I'm an old man and don't fit in with the street racer car scene) So I went with a 2022 CT4 BW Caddy. I have no...
I did purchase the warranty. So far my thoughts are about taking the car back to CarMax and asking to get out of their warranty. I have had heard of people being able to cancel their warranty and get (at least a prorated) refund. My argument being: If CarMax is willing to sell me a car with...
RobC7....funny you should say that about replacement exhaust. I've already purchased one and it's sitting in my shop now :) It appears to have come from a tuner shop where they just cut it off from a BW. My theory is that very purpose you mention. Of installing an aftermarket unit.
It's just...
Yes. I'm slowly moving into acceptance of your statement above. I did not do my due diligence. The car WILL be restored to it's original configuration. It seems now that it will be on my own dime. (you'd think CarMax could afford it....it'll only be about $2.5k)
I'm just highly...
I know ChampCar has a "standard" db limit they state in their rulebook. And it's about 96dba @ 50 ft, iirc.
But it is usually dictated by the track. Some tracks like Daytona really don't care mainly because it's right next to an airport and you can't get accurate readings there anyway. But...
Update:
Well after trying to get this resolved through the local dealer and corporate customer support and been denied any kind of help. Yes, it was a purchase from CarMax.
I have many pics of my exhaust and what a true Blackwing exhaust should look like. But have been denied any kind of...
So, I had some extra time yesterday and checked the corner weights of my newly acquired Blackwing. For those that might be unfamiliar with what corner weights are, they are just measurements of the weight of the car at each wheel. From those, you can calculate total weight, front-rear weight...
UPDATE:
I've jumped through the hoops with the dealer to no avail. Despite me sending them multiple pics they basically stated that the exhaust "was appropriate for the vehicle" and no other explanation. I have escalated it to the corporate level and have a service ticket in with them. I...
Just saw this thread. Funny! I have a manual but its too small to read with these old computer eyes. I downloaded the pdf version. The pdf is over 450 pages!! Isn't an entire ream of paper 500 pages?
It reminds me of some of the 3 credit hour courses I sat through in college!

Funny you should mention that. It's been to a Cadillac dealer but not gone over in detail. Just pulled the OBDII codes from the computer and the RPO build codes from the VIN.
The funny part of the story is that I was taking a buddy of mine to the Cadillac dealer to check on his order for his...
It was not purchased from a GM dealer. It was purchased from another very well known and national used car dealer that......I'm not disclosing at this time as we go through the negotiations for them to make it right.
