    Initial musings from a new owner of 2025 CT4-V Blackwing

    Ive found the charging pad to be finnicky with phone placement but it does work fine once the phone is happy with its specific placement. Typically it will start to charge for about 5 or 6 seconds and then stop. I just move it like 1mm and it starts again and usually will stay charging until a...

    CT4-V Some thoughts after test driving an auto 4-v blackwing, and asking for some advice regarding manual vs auto

    Youll see, just slowly release the clutch and the car has some sort of anti-stall logic built in and will add a touch of gas to get rolling, more so than just idle/flywheel inertia. Id say its really only relevant in true bumper to bumper traffic and I wouldnt really say it makes traffic in a...

    High Oil Pressure - Question?

    Oh that person never actually tried, just decided it wasnt possible to use Race Ramps or a jack to get the vehicle higher than the atomic radius from the ground he assessed was the factory ride height. I agree with the use of factory recommended viscosity, especially since there is a lot of...

    Potential new CT4-V Blackwing owner, things to note on delivery?

    Per the manual, and it really sucked on my long drive home from the dealer, do not exceed 80mph for the first 1500 mi.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    We had an issue in our fast group with a guy in a 5V just putting the pedal on the floor and letting ABS do all the work in pretty much every corner. Spotter called out his brakes were glowing so we had a mid session penalty cool down for all vehicles. I found the best tip, at least on the East...

    5BW 6MT Performance Driving

    On the East Loop, you only have two upshifts and two downshifts per lap so I wouldnt worry about it.

    Spring Mountain Curriculum

    On the east loop at least you only shift into 4th gear twice so only two downshifts, just use rev match. You dont drift but can get it a little sideways briefly on the wet surface demo. Its like 3 minutes of driving and you dont go over 25mph.

    Blown Motor

    You are definitely not the first person to have a blown 5BW motor. Notably the long term demo car that Car & Driver had blew its motor. And there are a few more floating around on here I believe.

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    Yeah I was alarmed to see that the MyRadar app was in on the driving data game since I use it frequently but its not as bad as it seems. The feature is called MyDrive and its defaulted to off, turning it on does clearly state your driving data is going to be shared. However, there is another...

    CT4-V New windshield, new rattle

    No argument, Safelite did my last one and it was fine, theres maybe one or two other options on this mountain, small town operators, and Id be full of shit if I said I was happy with Safelite. The glass is in and I just want to fix this rattle.

    CT4-V New windshield, new rattle

    Just had windshield #3 installed yesterday and Ive got a new rattle coming from the overhead. I already dug into the area around the rearview to re-wire my radar detector and I cant find any noisemakers there, had to fix some oversights from Safelite but its pretty secure, seems like the noise...

    Service manual shows skip shift feature

    I had skip shift on my SS, its super obvious and the car tells you with a DIC message when its doing it. The BW does not have skip shift and judging by your other thread you have already heard this.

    Track Mode

    Nope. Steering and suspension are def not track. Unless you go Sport PTM in Vmode in which case it will go to track suspension but still sport steering. You can use PTM dry with sport suspension though.

    Track Mode

    I select PTM while in Tour all the time. And Sport. And Vmode.
