Interesting. A few years back we had a problem with our Chrysler Pacifica minivan. The car's electric system would completely freak out. It happened 4 or 5 times. It turned out that the problem would only happen after the van was running for about one hour or more AND you would turn on the...

Hello Smoky, glad to have you on the forum. I have been a CT4V-BW owner since last Aug and I track this vehicle. Therefore, my experience and maintenance needs are much higher than most CT4V-BW owners. My only source of frustration with the CT4V-BW has been getting information and...

First a disclaimer. I am not an attorney and my posting is NOT legal advice. To begin with, you should be aware that there are at least TWO separate items that run at the same time when you purchase a new vehicle. State-based "New Car Lemon" laws and the Federal MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY act...

I Present the CT4V-BW "VIR Track Edition" package: (1) 2022 CT4B-BW MT6 with Enhanced Seats, Sunroof, Tech Pkg, CF1 & CF 2, PDR, Upgraded Wheel & Calipers (2) Track Front Suspension Reconfiguration (3) Track Alignment (4) EBC Sintered Metallic Track Brake Pads (5) Castrol SRF High-Performance...

HAHAHA! .... 24hr track testing CT4V-BW on the stock production tires, brakes, and brake fluid? If they did, they were not pushing the car. I am a novice driver that just moved up to intermediate HPDE sessions. I am getting passed by most drivers so yes I am driving the car hard, but not...

My personal experience is that REPEATED hard braking appears to cause uneven buildup on rotors. This will likely occur if you are using your vehicle in HPDE track sessions. This situation will likely not occur if you are using your vehicle for street driving. The brake pad buildup appears to...

You are correct in the dealer's misdiagnosis of the vibration problem. However, they might simply not know the facts. I am faily confident that if the "word" do not get out, many Cadillac owners are likely going to be buying new rotors. My question is that this brake vibration issue cannot be...

Correct. When I had the EBC track brake pads installed, I had the mechanic perform a brake system flush and installed CASTROL ESF Brake Fluid.

DISCLOSURE: Before I proceed, in full disclosure I am not a mechanic. I am providing a few limited data points, reporting on my vehicle's performance, and providing my personal analysis regarding the performance of my vehicle's brake system performance. The braking system of your vehicle is a...

July 5th Update: I have additional information to report and good news, at least for me. DISCLOSURE: Before I proceed, in full disclosure I am not a mechanic. I am providing a few limited data points, reporting on my vehicle's performance, and providing my personal analysis regarding the...

I am not sure if "on a track" meets the " Spotted In the Wild" criteria. Saw two CT5V-BW @ NJMP in Millville NJ. Only one went on track. The other one was new and was well below the 1500-mile marker. Hopefully, we will see many more Blackwings @ NJMP on July 29th. Cross your fingers for...

I don't remember exactly. I think with might have been white like mine, but It could have been black.

First off, before I point out my let downs, please noted that I already posted why I think that the CT4V-BW is a better overall vehicle and why I like it better than my old M2 Comp. I continue to stand by my initial assessment after driving the CT4V-BW for 10 months. Nevertheless, below is a...

After more than 10 months of ownership, I finally pop the hood on my CT4V-BW and started to scope how to "dress-up" the engine bay. My inspiration was to add a "build" plague like those that some Chevy SS owners made in metal and and applied on top of the fuse box in the engine bay. After...

I ran into a 5BW @ the WAWA in Jamison, PA. a couple of months ago. We talked for a bit. I forgot to take a picture, stupid me. I think the owner said that he also lives in Bucks County PA.

Need that Cadillac Shadow box ... Details please!

It is simple to tell it they are installed. If the is a plastic duct leading to the back of the rotor then you are good. If you see the flat metal plates, then you do not have the brake ducts installed.

This is where mine was. I stumbled onto it when I was looking for the lug nut lock. These are the removed front plates: These are the rear ducts that did not get put on.

Check in your truck, lift the access panel. That is where I found mine. The dealer who performed the other work installed the front ducts for "free" since the wheels and other components were already being worked on. They only did the front ducts and said they could not install the rear ducts...
