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

    Probably already mentioned multiple times but since I just got mine back from an engine + SC replacement, the small tank ofc but more specifically, the angle you need to take to stop the overfill mechanism from engaging. This could be a cali or station specific thing but 90% of the time the...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Did you tint the upper portion of that windshield? Kinda like that look.

    Engine Failure

    I personally like your break-in process because it seems to line up with my logic. Additionally, thanks for the commentary re:compression. Admittedly, I'm not mechanical guy so I wasn't exactly sure what that type of test would produce. I've been in the dark all week from the dealership, I'm...

    Engine Failure

    Add me to the list, I'm not sure if there's an official thread for us to gather so this was the first I found. Manual CT5, '22 with 19k on the odo, did proper break-in with service.

    Spring mountain- experienced racers?

    I guess it all depends on the expense to get there and whether you're willing to make a trip out of it. I still derived a lot of value from it. I'm not a track rat by any means but it doesn't typically take me long to find the cars limits with some background in scca/nasa, and shifter kart...

    Did my wife break my CT5 Blackwing?

    Considering it was your wife I would hold this as ammo for future breakages. Yes, she definitely broke it. Good luck to her on her track day.

    SoCal Blackwing Meetup

    Boys will be boys, I suppose. I'll definitely make a point to say hello next time. How often do the V guys usually gather during the year? We had a nice run back down the canyon, whoever was on the RR1000 caught us about half way down though and he was only showing up when we left. :oops:

    SoCal Blackwing Meetup

    Great turn out, a bit too much congestion up the hill that time of the morning I guess but still had a good time. Nice to meet you @NewCaddy !
