    CT5-V Blackwing Extended Warranty Pricing

    That may be about to change according to the dealership I bought my warranty from. It’s best to check into this 1year before the B2B expires.

    Wanted WTB CT5 Blackwing, Manual only, Michigan.

    This is setting a record for the longest car search in modern times.

    Annnnnd, we're back. Massive Lifter Knock in my 5BW

    I don’t care what people do on their own time. Just don’t want them flying airplanes or working on my Blackwing while intoxicated.

    Annnnnd, we're back. Massive Lifter Knock in my 5BW

    Hard to tell what they put in there at a dealership. The tech that changes oil knows less about cars than anybody you randomly pick off the street. Probably a big weed smoker besides.

    New 2026 CT5 Blackwing manual, daily driver with 2 kids, Northern California

    Of course, but some of us are very good lefty shifters.

    For Sale [Deleted]

    There is a solution to that. Would you like to trade for a boat that you won’t have time to sail? It will look great in your yard.

    For Sale Used CT5-V Blackwing for sale in Atlanta

    It’s been around way before Covid and it’s called stupidity pricing. They’re setting a hook for a buyer with more money than brains. I won’t do business with people that play that game now or ever.

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    I believe the main purpose to prevent a pressure buildup. On my Jeep I have vent hoses on my axles and yes they can eject gear oil, but only at first after a fluid change.

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    It appears to be an issue with ATF (not higher viscosity like the HP-MTF) as it expands as it heats up and blows out the vent. It's fine for the transmission, but who wants a mess under their car. I think I going to try straight Redline MTL. It sits right between OEM and HP-MTF. This is one of...

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    That article states to fill to the top, but that is not correct for the TR6060. The level should be 1/8" below the fill plug (or top off and remove about 8oz)

    Newbie question: ride quality diff in 2025 5BW

    That’s a business choice they made. Whether it be related to customer loyalty or purely financial is irrelevant. But generally all business decisions come down to maximizing profits. A counterpoint is that most of the profit made by dealerships is parts and service. So even if a local buyer in...

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

    Headers do quite a bit for sound change and usually in a good way. I would like to hear about your impressions when you get them on.

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

    That is usually the case with most things. The real answer is we forget what it was like before (in this case better looking). There would be a more appropriate fascia style for round tips. Naturally, my aesthetic, but that's all the matters on my car. Part of the issue with the 5BW exhaust...

    CT5-V Brake Duct Info

    I put the OEM spitter on after I bought the car. I have the plastic parts that replace the rubber tire deflector. After looking over things I went with the original pre-swap rubber deflectors. I guess that was at least a year and a half ago. I suspect the reason is for aerodynamics, which I...
