    2024 Refresh for CT5 BW?

    I was about to say XTS. Def looks like last gen design language. It might be bad enough that it offsets the interior improvements.

    CT5-V Engine failure

    This I think would be the first time GM is letting a dealer disassemble. Mine they wanted shipped back to them so they could tear down & inspect themselves. I’d ask Cadillac for compensation while the car is disabled.

    2024 Refresh for CT5 BW?

    The Escalade blower physically won’t fit in the BW

    CT5-V K&N Looking for donor car various parts.

    If you read the hagerty article on the BW they basically yelled at the engineer whose original design for the intake cost 3 HP and they told them that is unacceptable & go back to the drawing board. There’s likely zero or next to zero to be had power wise with any aftermarket system. As for...

    Engine Problem - Could use some advice

    Yes to sales tax. Generally no to second set of wheels & usually when it comes to PPF. They by law can also subtract a small amount for mileage used. You’d pay the new msrp on a new car, so it would indeed cost you more. You can also ask for a cash & keep where they’ll make you an offer to keep...

    Unwanted Rev Match

    If you’re way off on revs when going from 1 gear to another it will do that otherwise you’re dramatically changing a lot of engine speed in a short amount of time which the driveline isn’t going to like

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    it really kinda depends on the track you're running. some tracks you drive with a different line and completely different acceleration and braking points depending on the power and size/weight of the car. You could always just keep the car a gear or two higher than what is actually called for...

    CT5-V Getting Rid of Fake Engine Noise

    there's a mic that picks up the actual engine noise coming from the car and puts it through the speakers.

    Spring Mountain Track Times

    Figured we should start a thread where everyone could post both their AutoX times and lap times from the roadcourse & autoX at spring mountain. I'd suggest using the following format since different cars should run different times and there is more than one track used: Car: CT5 Manual AutoX...

    Engine Problem - Could use some advice

    this sounds like a similar problem to mine. the starvation nuked all the spark plugs on one bank as well as the rings. required engine replacement. they also replaced the fuel rails, evap canister, fuel lines, and fuel tank. as an FYI, some of the people on here don't know what they are...

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    Just buy an OEM one if you want the OEM design.

    the splitter overhangs the side so it will look a bit weird without them. you also dont get the aero from them deflected stuff from going in and around the wheel well

    Blackwings really need a 'Performance Supplement'

    the 5 pads work extremely well. the failure point, if you can call it that, are the tires getting too hot and greasy. maybe at like VIR you can push the car enough to get the warning message to come up asking you to let the brakes cool, but at my track (which has several long high speed...

    Racing brake fluid

    While this is true the SRF wet boiling point is extremely high & can take on a lot of moisture before the boiling point has gotten lower then OEM. If you’re tracking the car you want SRF in there bc it will last an entire year while other track fluids need more frequent change. I buy mine from...
