    Winter Storage

    No need for stabilizer....Just 3/4 tank of fuel, then drive it right to the gas station in the spring. Gas has it's own stabilizer and water eliminator already. I learned that when someone thought they were going to be smart and pee in my gas tank on my Mustang. Oh, and they dumped 3 bottles...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I can highly recommend Axe wheels. I'm very picky when it comes to wheels. It took me 2 years to find what I was looking for on my weekend car. And Axe had the wheels. I'm thinking about getting another set for my BW of the same. If you find a wheel you like, contact the vendor directly or...

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    You can fix both of these. There is a "minimal" screen for the dash. And delete your phone and re-pair it, it will ask if you wish to not have carplay come on everytime.

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    Turning radius No heated rear seats No adaptive front headlamps They could get rid of that stupid huge dial in the center console..it's redundant and useless

    New to the group

    I'm not certain there are any vendors that make an exhaust. If you really want a great company, I would try Solo Perfmance or Atak. Solo has a lot of exhaust options for other cars, and they do custom stuff. Only downside is they're located in Canada.

    The dark side of blackwing ownership

    Unfortunately nobody is going to spend thousands, if not ten's of thousands of dollars doing research for a vehicle that has less then 25k cars built whose parts aren't interchangable. If you want that, you should have bought a Camaro or Mustang. Sorry, not trying to be a jerk by anymeans...

    My temp doesn't come up quickly

    I live in Detroit and it's been in the mid to upper 40s overnight the last couple of weeks. I've noticed that my temp doesn't come up as quickly on this car as it has on my other cars. Is this normal? I can drive 4+miles before my temp is at 160F, which is about 7 minutes of runtime. This...

    Changing oil from 5-30 to Supercar 0-40?

    I'm trying to remember....I believe my Camaro 1LE required 0w40 for street driving and 20w60 for track. If you were on the track and had an engine failure and didn't have 20w60 (or maybe vice versa), GM would NOT warranty your engine. I did do a quick search and there were quite a few articles...

    HP Increases

    100% yes. They are THE biggest reason that most cars are not tuned to maximum potential.

    HP Increases

    I work for an OE and do flash validation. I'll tell you what I know from an OE side and an aftermarket side for my other car.... The OE does tons of testing and tuning, and a majority of it is for EPA. Most cars are tuned down to meet those EPA standards. Yes, there are a few parameters that...

    HP Increases

    Just to let you know, my "fun car" is a Pontiac Solstice. It was professionally dyno tuned and I'm pushing close to 375hp out of a 2.0L LNF motor. I run the max of 24psi of boost (anything more and the KO4 becomes a heat pump) and the the car has 95k on it and has been tuned for the last 60k...

    Installed some sound insulation this weekend

    I've been thinking about doing this. I did it on my Solstice convertible when I redid the entire stereo system and it was a huge difference in interior noise. Yes, I know that the Solstice is a convertible, but it got rid of a lot of the squeaks and rattles that car had. Right now the Caddy...

    CT5-V Dash Cam Hardwire

    I have a high end, 4k front 2k rear u1000 camera with battery backup that allows recording until the battery is dead while the vehicle is parked. It uses a shock sensor and radar to detect movement. It's good for like 6 hours of full recording and 96 hours of movement detection. I got it...

    CT5-V Dash Cam Hardwire

    If you have an Escort Radar Detector, Gen5diy does a plug n play adapter that uses your rear view mirror power to power the radar detector. I will post a pic when I get home after a weekend trip on how this was done.

    Not Happy!!

    I sent them multiple messages on their website and no contact to me. However, I finally had time to call and they were great. Took care of all of my concerns and will replace the plate frame. They were very nice once I finally was able to talk to someone.

    CT4-V My baby has bangs now

    Not sure you want "gunshot" like sounds coming from a turbo car. That means unburned fuel in the turbo, which is really bad for the turbos and bearings. My fun, weekend turbo car did this when the HPFP was failing and leaking excess fuel into the engine. Not sure though about the Cadillac.

    Auto heated seats and steering wheel

    My vented/heated kick in automatically. I can tell you the other day I had my climate set to 69 and it was cold out, so I bumped it to 72 and it kicked on my heated seats and wheel.
