    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    Thanks. I’ll add that as my 3rd gripe. 1. Turning radius 2. Fuel tank size 3. Low light camera frame rate Still the best sedan ever made. It’s like the ZL1 was into older women, impregnated an E39 M5 and 9 months later out came the BW.

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    Does anyone's camera views get laggy during night time / low light scenarios? When I'm backing up or pulling forward in low light scenarios, the screen is very laggy/buggy where it could fool someone to believe you can back up/pull forward further before hitting something. Drives me nuts.

    CT5-V Time to mod...

    Keep hearing good things about vengeance. Will be my choice of shop when I’m ready to mod. I’m not too far from them either. Look forward to reading how yours turns out.

    Road side assistance - limit and aggravation

    Drivers Club is a yearly membership- separate from insurance but you can add it to your policy. No vehicle requirements. Only way to get roadside assistance with them is through drivers club. I used to be insured with Hagerty when I had several older cars but I got rid of them all some years...

    Road side assistance - limit and aggravation

    This is the way. The magazine that comes with it is also top notch. I’ve used some of the discounts as well like the $100 Michelin rebate. No brainer at $70/yr.

    Signature Wheel's Cadillac Blackwing Adventures

    Indeed! Feel like swift lowers the front a bit too much where it gives a raked look. Yours looks perfect.

    Epic video! Car looks great all around. What springs did you go with?

    Lowering Springs for Precision Package CT5-V Blackwing

    Installing springs isn’t a “no return” modification. If you are keen on lowering it, install them, live with them for a while and if you don’t like them, go back to stock. Eibach vs swift… Personally it would come down to how much each lowers the car in front/back.

    Struggling to find aftermarket wheels I really like. Am I alone?

    Thanks for the replies. For clarity, Terrance with signature has been very helpful providing input and reference photos as they become available. I had high hopes of the new 905 series wheels from signature which he provided a few installed photos on the mods sub forum here but I didn’t love...

    Struggling to find aftermarket wheels I really like. Am I alone?

    My 5BW came with the factory graphite wheels. While I don’t mind them, I’d like to get a set of wheels when it’s time to replace the tires. Mainly would like to see the brake calipers/rotors more since the ccb’s look great imo but hidden behind all the spokes. I like the tech bronze look on...

    Finally! Photos of the 905 on a 5bw. Looks great. Stock suspension?

    6MT folks- Anyone experience this after spirited driving?

    Drove it this am and albeit reduced, it’s still there. More noticeable when everything is cold. GM likely didn’t authorize dealer to dig in further- at least for now. I’m going to live with it for a while and if still bothersome, I’ll escalate it. It’s been my hunch as well that it’s...

    6MT folks- Anyone experience this after spirited driving?

    Update: got the car back today. It’s vastly improved but the shudder isn’t completely absent as it was prior. They said there was an ECM update for “updated calibration for improved knock response” and after they did that, the tech and shop foreman both noticed the improvement as well. They also...

    Blackwing-spec PS4Ss heat cycle out long before wearing out?

    20K out of rears is impressive. I’ve had PS4S on 3 prior rwd sports cars and none lasted past 15K miles. No track driving. I am religious about replacing them once they hit the wear bars tho. 5K miles on the BW so we’ll see how they hold up.

    2026 allocation

    Incompetency of most Cadillac dealers treating a BW order likes it’s an XT6 (no offense- good car) is the unfortunate truth. I have a thread here somewhere of my experience trying to order a ‘25. Thank goodness I found my CPO ‘24 and hopped off the 🐐 rodeo before too long. If I was going to...
