    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    IRT Carbon Fiber mirror caps, I finally threw mine on a week ago. The driver side was a monumental pain in the butt. Nothing lined up quite right, and I had to trim stuff to make it fit. I broke the crap out of one of the mounts as well. The passenger side was perfect though. Today, cars and...

    Door Alignment - Adjustable?

    Same here, but for my wife's XT5. Dealer 1 wouldn't do it, dealer 2 did a great job.

    300 new manual blackwings on dealer lots

    These probably aren't all unsold. IIRC some dealers automatically list on Autotrader. Mine was for example.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    Awesome news @Terrance Sig! Looking forward to its arrival. You'll be solely responsible for some pretty big visual updates on my car

    CT5-V Blackwing 6-sp (2022) surging during normal driving

    Yeah, I'm a little skeptical of it. The symptoms sound right, but the dates are weird. The TSB was issued in April 2022 and revised in July 2022. Which makes me think that only the earliest builds would be impacted. Unless they released the TSB but kept building with the wrong part? I don't know...

    CT5-V Blackwing 6-sp (2022) surging during normal driving

    I just stumbled across this on the Facebook group as well, and provided a TSB. Big, if true. TSB 4021760: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10217069-0001.pdf

    CT5-V Blackwing 6-sp (2022) surging during normal driving

    https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/engine-surge-porpoising.2148/ I've got the problem. Really need to get it in to a dealer, but it's easy enough to ignore :/

    Did you pay over MSRP

    Actually, that's an interesting point. With the change in pricing I paid only marginally more than if I had to wait for a 2023 at MSRP (order submitted May 2021 received Nov 2021)

    Did you pay over MSRP

    I paid a non-trivial amount over. The dealership quite frankly lied, or minimally were not honest. The final price was only given to me once the car was built and delivered. I was very clear up front that I wanted to pay MSRP. When the car arrived I was hit with a non-optional dealership...

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    That's great to hear @Terrance Sig For clear coating, are you sending these to an autobody shop? I'd imagine you have the advantage of getting some bulk discounts we as end consumers can't get. Is there extra cost involved? I'll gladly pay to have it clear coated first just to avoid needing...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    This is my biggest success in my SS. Hard to see in this pic but it's a pretty steep hill. Got up """no problems""" with DWS06. I carried chains too (konig k-summit) so wasn't too worried :p Don't get me wrong. I'm still not happy with the Sottozeros. But I'm gonna try to at least wear them...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    CT5 - Year 2 on the Sottozeros Marfan put together an excellent recap of year 1 here: https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/winter-wheels-and-tires.1856/page-16#post-52728 I had previously mentioned the tires felt 'squirmy'. This time I made sure the tires were appropriately inflated...

    V academy

    When I did the full 2 day, they did a great job grouping us on that. They didn't even bother for this larger group. Also the 2 day gave 3 laps behind the lead per person, vs the 2 laps per person we got. The 1 day / larger group simply wasn't as good of an experience of the full 2 day. Which I...

    V academy

    In the 5 manual I ran a 1:51.5 this time and a 1:52.42 back in late July (same layout). Really enjoyable. Not very punishing and really good to learn on. The cooler temps this time were noticable. The 4 is similar times? Within a couple of seconds?

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I'll give one more for marfan to quote ;) I'm going to try the sottozeros again. At some point (after taking them off) I realized the dealership underinflated them. As in, they inflated them to 35 psi, but should have been more like 38. I'm hoping that'll help the "squirmy" feeling.

    5BW without Parking Pkg?

    It's worth the price of admission for the rear camera mirror. The tech has really come a long way, and I use the camera at all times of day and all weather conditions.

    How 'under the radar' is your Blackwing?

    Maybe it's the area I'm in. Maybe it's Maybelline. But I'm 95% sleeper. I've had very few thumbsup etc. Only 2 really come to mind. A passenger in a Tahoe freaking out and pointing, and driver of a Jaaag F-Type giving a thumbs up. To really hammer it in, I took the Blackwing to a car show...
