Sweet. I signed up for Instructed Novice group for the HOD session since it will be my first time at VIR. On Sunday I signed up for the Intermediate group. I will be there with my CTV4-BW 6MT.

I had a 2017 Chevy SS and my biggest complaint was the very heavy clutch and very short take-up window. I then had an M2 Comp and was happy with that cutch. But in my opinion, the CT4V BW has the best clutch/transmission combo very smooth for both. However, it is definitely "lighter" than my...

Yes, and I added the Saturday session with HOD. I am coming down from the Philadelphia area and that is a long drive for 1 track day.

Thanks for the info. I will need to make some adjustments. I am running bone stock and I think that the brakes are weak compared to my old M2 Comp. I am just making turn 1 at NJMP on full brakes But I have these on order per suggestions from fellow owners:

I was at SpringMountain 2 weeks ago an a student there said he was running non-OEM pad and was running at Watkins at 150+ without a problem - Castrol SRF fluid. I have these on order, I will report back in late June.

Same corner - my perspective, my front wheels kiss the first corner curb (Apex #1), my front wheels on the second corner curb (Apex #2)

Yup, way wide on the first corner apex and then probably added throttle or too much steering into the turn = spin You should be like this at that corner:

I was out there on May 12 & 13. Good weather and good times all around. Delta was great and bumped me to the front on the return flight to JFK. I am running with the MOE HPDE group for the rest of the season, except for the middle of June.

The only problem I had with #41 were the slower cars in front. On day two I joined a group of 5BW most with auto. One would pull away in the straight and I would catch him in the "esses". The other person was very experienced and runs at Walkins Glenn in a track prep CT4V. Him and the...

Sweet! Thanks for the info

Do you know how much brake fluid you need to perform the fluid change procedure? I am taking the parts - oil, oil filter, brake pads, and brake fluid to a local performance shop to do the work.

Hello Mbar. Thanks for the trackpad info. It would be great if someone with "Track Experience" provided a checklist breakdown on track prep/config for the CT4V-BW / CT5V-BW. I just did the Spring Mountain class and they had some info in the PowerPoint, but I know that the oil info from them...

The backseat question is all about your use case. Over the last 20+ years I have not used the backseat of my daily driver to transport adults, well maybe a handful of times. Kids in the back yes when they were growing up, and occasionally my wife rides in the passenger seat. About 15 years...

I concur with most of the thoughts from the other posts. I had a 2017 6MT, I loved it but my wife hated the manual. I ended up "upgrading" to an M2Comp. Then I saw the video from Savagegeese – “Cadillac CT4V Blackwing | GM Has a Soul.” I decided that I needed to capture “Lighting in a Bottle”...

I am getting off-topic here, but the Nurburgring is quite an experience. I highly recommend anyone that has track driving experience to go. I participated in a structured BMW track session event. I think that several organizations run similar programs. There were 6 student groups each in...

We are in crazy times but remember the saying "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." The Cadillac brand was built on Luxury cars. They have been pivoting to be GM's "Performance Brand", the V series vehicles, but the top performance cars stayed in Chevy - Camaro and Corvette...

They were already announced ...

Hello Blackwing518, I am sorry to hear about your disappointment with the CT5-V BW. The car is a "beast" horse power wise, but it can be tamed. When cornering you have anti-lock brakes when braking and a stability control system as you turn the wheel that will apply brakes as you corner to...
