Interesting comment below the article: Great car but it’s a disappointment the passion put into the black wing models wasn’t extended further down the range. No reason that tremec 6 my couldn’t pair up with a smaller engine. I’m just happy they exist. Cadillac could probably sell a CT4-V with...

I made a post a while back comparing the Lightning Lap videos of the 4BW and the 5BW, through the first 16 corners. The two cars carried the same minimum speed through Oak Tree. For every other corner the 4BW was 1 to 4 mph faster. The 5BW was a faster on the straights: 3 to 6 mpg in the...

Y'all need to find some curvy roads!

Absolutely. Y'all kept me sane.

Oh, man. Sorry to hear this. But I can absolutely see how it could change a person. The friends I lost were nowhere near that close to me, and it affected me. Hell, a long-time co-worker who I didn't even really like passed away, and it affected me. I want to repeat to you the three...

Mine was delivered with a big-azz scrape on that front lip thingy. (The black thing under the front; non-carbon.) Dealer ordered a replacement part that will be installed at a later date.

I remember when the F40 and Porsche 959 came out at about the same time, with wildly different approaches to going fast. I read so many car magazine reviews of these beasts - and still love them both. I looked this up and, holy sh*t, you're right. The 4BW is in the ballpark. source...

Wow. What you just said about "timing" made me realize how lucky I got. GM announced the recall the same day my car arrived at the dealer. Holy. 😮

Yeah, I'll cosign on the "Wow". And also how this thing straddles the luxury car / sports car dichotomy. A car with an automatic, base wheels, and the exhaust in stealth mode might just seem like a normal car to an uninitiated non-car-person passenger. Which is hilarious and awesome. I'm...

That's probably exactly it. It's against federal law to sell new cars with open safety recalls.

The wheels don't make a difference to my eyes. I think lighting has a bigger effect on how Rift looks at any given time. Or parking it next to an actual white car. To me, it mostly looks like a duller and richer white. I don't think I've ever perceived it as beige.

This is real talk. Hearing other people repeat the "It's Worth The Wait" mantra helped me. You in particular helped keep me sane. Thanks! I just came back from a drive in the rain where I hit 100. Hope to triple that (at least) this weekend. This thing is a riot even below 4,000 RPM.

This is the way.

Thanks! Unfortunately, that freeway driving was stop and go rush hour traffic. So I think it counts towards break-in, LOL. For people whose goats are still in the pen, I can pretty confidently recommend that you not take your very first drive in your car after sunset during rush hour.

Even so, it's an amazing world we live in where a 668 hp supercharged motor blowing up is an abnormal event.

I had a much better experience this morning on my morning donut shop run. These things all helped a LOT. Thanks! The "slight pull driver's side" tip and my own "shift firmly and without hesitation" observation worked together really well. One time when I struggled with a 1-2 shift I...

OK, now that I count myself among the goat herders, I totally get what y'all are saying about the trans. And 2nd feels particularly notchy even after having driven for a while. I have only like 40 miles on mine, and half of that was on the freeway. I'll be reading through this thread again...

And now my rodeo ride has ended. Posting the history for posterity, so I can clean up my signature: 04/08/2022: placed order 06/28/2022: picked up a spec order for similar build 07/06/2022: TPW 08/08/2022 08/15/2022: built: P046-0042 08/22/2022: 4D00 "MP" 10/13/2022: window...

It's kind of hard for me to separate an automatic's performance from the engine it is connected to. They are just a closely-coupled system. I drove a CT4-V with the bigger 2.7 turbo-4 and that engine was properly nice. The 10-speed also felt good to me in that application - and I don't like...
