Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like Delaware Cadillac. Were you able to get them to waive their market adjustment? I couldn't stomach that upcharge ($10k for non-carbon?) and ended up using a different dealer.

I think you’re referring to the rod looking thing coming through a rubber looking thing in upper left of photo? That’s an exhaust post in its rubber hanger. Looks fine to me.

Mine was doing that and I just manhandled it a bit, left/right/up/down, and it stopped doing it. Been a couple thousand miles now. Probably will start again on my ride home today now that I wrote this.

Not sure where I referred to the intercooler brick. I said engine cooling. Specifically radiator. Thermal reserve of the entire engine cooling package plays a role in tuning.

I've wondered if the engine cooling capacity is the variable that allows the LT4 to come in different power outputs. Taller radiator on the 5BW vs ZL1 allows for more power (via timing), and even taller radiator on the Escalade V allows for yet more power? 650-> 668-> 682.

Yeah, here for the promised apology. Disappointed.

Regardless of how many posts there are on this subject, I somehow missed the fact that the difference between the mid tier and top tier seats isn’t just the leather quality. The online configurator makes no mention about the carbon backs as only available with the semi-aniline leather upgrade...

My 2025 MT 5BW makes a slight chirp noise, like from serp belt, sometimes at low speed engagement, especially when cold. Meant to post here to ask, now watching this thread.

Manual, because my daily 20 minute commute was boring with all the high powered German sedans I have owned. You can’t open them up legally, so what was the point. Driving my manual 5BW daily is so much more enjoyable. I still have a high power German automatic auto for highway road trips, where...

I’m registered for the Nov 7-8 class, 5BW manual. Accommodations for nights of 6th and 7th were comped, as well as all meals except dinners. I’m going solo. I did decide to pay the $250 insurance fee to lower the deductible from $10k to $2k, figured that was worth the peace of mind since...

I like it, thanks for the idea. This solves the issue when my backpack isn't in the car when in my garage and the damn thing is locked. I'd rather have manual control over the lock function.

Typhoon plus Red calipers = Christmas time to my eyes. Maybe you want that.

Given that car key frequencies can be grabbed out of the air by bad actors, I've never been a fan of pushing the button on the remote to lock/unlock. What I've always used on my other cars is the proximity function of having the key in my pocket when next to the car, and grabbing the handle...

Bear in mind that extended idling also takes a toll on the engine oil, but is not necessarily reflected in the oil life indicator (which I think is mostly tied to miles driven). You may want to change your oil more frequently if you're doing a lot of idling. This is a real issue with fleet...

256GB card holds about 2 months of driving for me. I have the "auto overwrite" feature turned on. But when the card is full, it will not overwrite the existing files and stops recording. Is this a 2025 bug?
