Willing to wager that just putting on Cup2R tires on the 4BW would be a game changer in performance.

Anyone purchase one recently? Looking for the best deal. I've got 42k miles on my MY23 5BW and am thinking about getting an extended warranty.

I got my '23 5BW from Otto Cadillac in Jan '23 after placing my order 12 months before. You? They were pretty good to me there. At the time with most dealers charging a +$10k mark-up, I got mine $2.5k over MSRP. My sister lives in Loudonville and she has leased an Escalade from Otto every 3...

Mine is a MY23 with 42k on the odo. I do my own basic maintenance and change the oil and filter when the DIC says. Since 25k-ish, I've had to add 1-2 qts in between oil changes. I run her pretty hard and often see trip digits on my commute so pretty sure I'm the cause of the extra oil...

On the C8, GM was thoughtful & did this with other people modding it like this Why couldn't they do something similar for the CT4/5? Back when I lived in NY & then NJ, I had a Miata & modified the front plate with a hinge so it swung out of the way over 15mph in the mouth of the grill so air...

One of the reasons I hate states with front plate law -- so ugly! There's gotta be a better way to display the plate & be in accordance with the law. Speaking of which -- where's the front plate on your "friend"? They are risking a "fix it" ticket!

If the app stops working, the only method I know of is to remove the device. Depending on level of mechanical know-how, it's a 20-30 minute procedure including disconnecting the battery. I keep the removable dongle hidden in the car in the event my phone dies or is lost/stolen. This way, I...

I have the Soler in my 5BW & C8 Stingray. It connects to the phone via BT so you do not need wi-fi. Need to start the car to "wake up" the BT in the vehicle to connect to the app/phone. However, when you park, you can turn off the vehicle & the BT will stay connected for a couple of minutes to...

The Solar BT Throttle isn't very easy to remove. In order to remove it to make the vehicle driveable afterwards, the battery has to first be disconnected. Then there are many steps after that. But you are right, any thief looking to steal a vehicle will be able to do it if they have enough time...

I installed the Soler BT Throttle Controller on both my 5BW & C8 Corvette. Not only does it allow for customization of the throttle but it works as an anti-theft device. You can disable the throttle via their app on your phone such that the vehicle can be started & idle but pressing the throttle...

From that angle, we have similarly spec'ed Stingray HTC -- same exterior colors (with the black mirrors, nacelles & roof) & low wing. I thought about getting matching color w/my 5BW like you did but ultimately decided against it.

Still don't see a car -- I see this beautiful woman in a red dress & that's as far as I get... :ROFLMAO:

Did you mean to include a photo of your car for reference as I don't see one. :unsure:

I've always named my vehicles as I believe every car has its own idiosyncrasies & therefore, a "soul" of sorts. The ones currently in the stable: 2022 Genesis GV80 - "Genny" (for obvious reasons) 2023 Chevy Stingray Vette - "Rapide" (she's pretty quick!) 2016 Subbie Forester - "Gump" (movie...

I have something similar that I use on "lessor" vehicles in my stable. I had posted one of these on a prior thread about theft deterrence & got flamed for it being an inferior product & not to be trusted on a high-end vehicle like a 4/5BW.
