    Wheel Alignment - Review and tips

    I love a good alignment thread! I have a CT5BW with the Precision Package. Next week I am getting the dealer to do the track alignment. According to the owners manual, I can get -2.8 front and -2 rear with the Precision Package. Setting the toe to be minimal is the key to helping reduce tire...

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    I had a similar decision process. I ruled out greyscale and worked my way to DM after elimination of the other colors. I have not picked up the car so I have not seen it in person yet. But in pics, it seems to have too little metallic to make it interesting. I get a feeling I will have the...

    PDR - dash cam

    Is there a setting to have it automatically record all the time or do you manually turn it on record every time you start the car?

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    For you option 3 is the clear choice. You like the color the best, it has your favorite wheel color and is the only one with the top tier seats you have a strong preference for. You have indicated that you are indifferent to every other option. As a bonus, the white one is also the cheapest of...

    What were your must have options?

    If you want your 2025 to be as close to a 2026 as possible, get the Parking Package and PDR. Both are standard on 2026 models. Note the order guide shows PDR a ‘S’ but I am not convinced that is not a typo. They have not announced it as standard and the update notes do not indicate the change...

    CT5-V My own Pre-delivery checklist

    Did you pick up at the dealer or have the car delivered to your house? Curious where the damage came from.

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    On the stock wheels, why is the flag on the left side of the V? It should be to the right side like every other V logo. In other words, the V should be right side up when it is on the left side, not the right. Minor nit to pick but it has always bugged me.

    Buying a pre-owned high MSRP 2024 CT5VBW or a new 2025 model?

    I went with the 25. But only because I wanted the Precision Package and the update PDR. If you do not care about those things then a lightly used 24 is a better value. Plus you get a volume knob and blind spot detection.

    Gas Grade

    I have a pump nearby that dispenses non-ethanol 92. A little more than the usual stuff but I use it if the car is going to sit for a while (like in the winter)

    Media dumps

    If you watch Matt’s video or listen to his podcast when he reviewed the Precision Package, then it is no surprise his article for R&T would be glowing. He loved the car when he tested it.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    My car showed up over a month early. GM must have finally figured out logistics.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Beautiful color. No doubt you get compliments. Midnight Steel is my favorite color on BW. Too bad it was not available in 2025.

    Prevent theft from trunk

    I ordered a set. I have a long road trip home and it is a good idea to lock out the ability to get into the trunk (which will have all my luggage). I will report back once I get them installed and tested.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Easiest way to find your car in the inventory is to do the Build & Buy. Configure the same specs as the one you ordered. When you get to the summary screen, it should show up in the inventory list as an ‘Exact Match’. And show it is assigned to your dealer. Note you may need to change the zip...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    For the 2025 models (back in 2024), the BW prod started a few months later (I think around Oct). But that does not mean that is what will happen this time. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/01/heres-when-2026-cadillac-ct5-production-is-scheduled-to-start/
