    At 596 I assume its a 6 speed car? Is that a Kong "xport"? Where the motor modifications all installed at the same time?

    CT5-V My own Pre-delivery checklist

    The guy that does your ceramic coating will probably say that because it saves him possibly a step of having to do any type of paint correction. Probably hoping to get by with charging you for the paint correction yet not having to do it or as little as possible.

    Any tuning with the motor upgrades? Did you dyno it and if so do you care to share the numbers?

    CT5-V My own Pre-delivery checklist

    I missed a small chip on my center console carbon fiber insert because it was on the passenger side. I would have caught it had I sat in the passenger side and really inspected the interior.

    Best Upgrades 5BW

    What are the best/favorite upgrades or "must have" thing/things you have done on your car? What was the best upgrade for money spent? For me my 2025 is pretty much stock with the exception of PPF. Might fab my own exhaust in a few weeks as all the options are prohibitively expensive for...

    One being better than the other comes down to the use case IMO. It's proven that ethanol helps resist detonation in turbocharged and supercharged cars that tend to run hot especially on the intake charge temperatures. Ethanol doesn't have as many BTUs so it takes more fuel, thus cooling the...

    Gas Grade

    Infrequently would be several months and is much more geared towards wet weather climates as the ethanol gas takes in moisture. For something like my lawn mower here in Oregon, I run ethanol the majority of the summer and then switch the last month or so I know I'm going to be mowing to the...

    Use the 93. In a turbo or supercharged car like a Blackwing the ethanol helps somewhat resist detonation, the higher the ethanol content the more resistant to detonation. the more timing you can put to it. Non ethanol will have more BTUs though. The non ethanol should theoretically get better...

    CT5-V CT5V BW Burning 4qtz/Thousand miles

    I wouldn't be surprised if both used the exact same bearings.

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing

    100% agree. If Corsa had a square/carbon or at least square option it would already be on my car.

    They are not all built by the same person. Each motor is built by one single person. Just to clarify.
