lol, you can have mine. I’ve tried to use it multiple times, forcing myself to get used to it, and I just can’t. My eyes can’t focus fast enough, and even when they do the picture just isn’t as sharp as the actual mirror, hard to tell if a popo is creeping up from far back on the highway.

I “ruined it”? I’m not acting like a furious monkey flinging his feces around because he disagrees with another forum member. Ironically, if you do indeed have experience driving both the non PP and the PP variants, as an ENTHUSIAST you could civilly share info with us. Because, as you said...

Joyous? Yeah, I wouldn’t describe you that way. Seek help, dude. You’re amazingly fragile on this topic. It’s quite entertaining.

Please: tell me all about your direct driving experiences with the package that has led you to your bold declarations. :ROFLMAO:, indeed!

Honestly, if I lived in SoCal, with the optimal driving conditions year-round and the canyons at ready access, I might have checked the V8V box. But I live in SE PA, with no intention to track the car. So the cost/benefit ratio just wasn't there for me. I went through the same internal debate...

Lol, talk about low self-esteem, dude. Maybe save some of your thick wallet for therapy. Or go rub one out. You are wound tight. Cup2Rs alone will transform the car. From grip to steering response. They also absolutely blow on wet pavement. Or in low temps. But you be you (which is actually...

Ironically, I opted for the CCBs, so I was already halfway to the PP price. I don’t regret the CCBs for one second. I love a clean car, and cleaning wheels always sucks. Regarding ride quality: reports from actual users of the PP package, who have owned 22-24 5BWs: the ride is harsher, even...

Deductive reasoning is like using a scalpel instead of a butter knife. I don’t need to recklessly spend money in a desperate attempt to force reality when using my brain already tells me everything I need to know. I didn’t check the box for the reasons above. It made zero sense, regardless of...

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...
