    Custom fabricated exhaust

    I think it should’ve come stock this way. I drive it in my mode with exhaust maxed 95% of the time and switch to tour so it’s quiet when I pull into the neighborhood. Very different than stock and very loud, lots of pops/burbles. I don’t think I would want it any louder.

    What’s next?

    My car does this too. I’ve found out that holding onto the shifter seems to dull it. No idea what the connection is as the sound seems to come from the dash somewhere but it’s starting to get on my nerves too

    Anyone else having engine oil issues?

    For going on the past year now I've been getting low engine oil warnings on the car. I've taken it to the dealership, thankfully still under warranty, probably 5 times now for this. The first few times they checked and said there was nothing wrong and just did oil changes on the car. Somewhere...

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    I’m gonna be honest I’m strongly considering trading in my 5BW for a cybertruck. I could care less about the hype, I just actually like the looks and miss the space and utility of a truck/SUV which I haven’t had since my 4Runner in 2006. The fact that it would be faster and AWD are bonuses. I...

    Cadillac V-Club

    Is there any way to see the events put on by the Texas chapter? Never heard about it discussed on here, I’d be interested in joining. Would have to be closer to Houston than Dallas tho but definitely interested

    Car & Driver

    The reason IMO is I think we have award burnout lol. We’ve been showered with praise for these cars for the past few years winning another top10 award isn’t really garnering as much attention as it should. But it truly is a remarkable achievement.

    Needs moar sound

    Kinda defeats the purpose of a sedan, no?

    Needs moar sound

    Get yourself a custom axle back exhaust like I did (see post history). $1-1.5k later and your car will sound like it should have from the factory (aka a 670hp earth rattling beast).

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Picked it up from the dealership after two weeks of work. They replaced the oil sensor as it was giving low oil warnings erroneously. Part of me is worried that it took so long, it sounds like they had to disassemble a big part of the engine bay. Hoping the tech was experienced and didn’t ****...

    Have you heard a BW in the wild?

    Now imagine one with an exhaust! 🤤

    Tried wet traction mode today

    I’ve used it in the rain and it makes you feel super safe. I remember from spring mountain that you really can’t spin out with it on

    Anyone else's 5BW burning through oil?

    Thanks for the info guys, been checking dipsticks for 15 years somehow this is the first car I've had hurdles with. Hoping I won't have any further issues once the sensor is replaced.

    CT4-V Front bumper removal - caught road debris to the grill

    Wow, what are the chances. My grill broke in the exact same place a few months ago

    Anyone else's 5BW burning through oil?

    Its a long story but like I mentioned above the dipstick wasn’t accurate for me. I took it to them with nothing showing on the dipstick and they said it was due to it being a wet/dry sump and that it had plenty of oil and I wasn’t checking it correctly. I took their word for it and since they...
