    Can I get your opinions on my front rotors

    The CT4V-BW has a brake-by-wire system. Your stopping feedback on the pedal is not coming from the system directly. (1) You might try this: Brake Burnishing - Direct from the CT4V-BW Owners Manual: For vehicles equipped with front Brembo brake systems: Performance/racing brake pads are...

    Is it totaled?

    I saw a video of your event in some posting, but I cannot find it now. The video was far away, it was from the car behind you and it is difficult to see the car placement from the angle of the video. However, it seems that you were on the corner curbing and it ends in dirt or grass kind of...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Does this count? Just the typical CT4V-BW "Track Edition" getting a fill-up at the corner gas station? Well, only if your gas station is at VIR and you made just a "Few" mods.... VROOOM!

    Can I get your opinions on my front rotors

    Read about my solution, the EBC EC11 pads are actually for the ATS-V. The rear pads are actually a tad small as the rear caliper for the CT4V-BW is different.

    Can I get your opinions on my front rotors

    This is a long and detailed post as requested ... a brain dump. Forum members, please keep me honest and call out any errors. My disclaimer is that the solution I discuss in this posting is a non-Cadillac solution. I am neither a mechanic nor an automotive engineer. I have "self-diagnosed"...

    Can I get your opinions on my front rotors

    I recently participated in a Cadillac V-Club Tech talk. It is my recollection that Brembo stated that, "Cadillac Blackwing Metal Rotors should NOT be resurfaced, they must be replaced". I will hunt for that information.

    Is it totaled?

    Yikes! I really feel for you. I am amazed that even with such a high estimate the insurance company would even consider a rebuild. FYI, it is my "lay persons" perspective that another argument you could/should use is that you purchase a "track capable" vehicle when new. After a crash and...

    Can I get your opinions on my front rotors

    What prompted your trip to the dealer? Can you give us a breakdown of the break issues you are having? You say that - "Dealership says front pads and rotors need replacement to the tune of $3300………." Do you have a vibration or shaking in the steering column or brake pedal when stopping? (1)...

    Is it totaled?

    The pictures do not make it look like a $60K repair job. I would expect, based on other auctions, that your car goes for $30K or more.

    Is it totaled?

    It seems that Blackwings with major impacts are selling for at auction at about 30% to 35% of MSRP. If the repair bill is even $45K, plus $25K for the auction purchase it equals $70K. But the market for an almost new vehicle is in that range. Why would someone pay that much for a crashed...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    That sucks, I just saw your posting. What a bummer. I think that (3) were unable to make the V-CLUB session at VIR.

    CT4V -BW Track "Capable" versus Track "Optimized"

    Folks, The CT4V-BW is "Track Capable" from the factory. I am looking to run around 20 track days a year. Therefore, I am looking to Optimize the CT4V-BW. The core of my questions are based on the fact that Cadillac likely optimized the tire and wheel selection for the CT4V-BW based on the...
