The only problem I had with #41 were the slower cars in front. On day two I joined a group of 5BW most with auto. One would pull away in the straight and I would catch him in the "esses". The other person was very experienced and runs at Walkins Glenn in a track prep CT4V. Him and the...

Sweet! Thanks for the info

Do you know how much brake fluid you need to perform the fluid change procedure? I am taking the parts - oil, oil filter, brake pads, and brake fluid to a local performance shop to do the work.

Hello Mbar. Thanks for the trackpad info. It would be great if someone with "Track Experience" provided a checklist breakdown on track prep/config for the CT4V-BW / CT5V-BW. I just did the Spring Mountain class and they had some info in the PowerPoint, but I know that the oil info from them...

The backseat question is all about your use case. Over the last 20+ years I have not used the backseat of my daily driver to transport adults, well maybe a handful of times. Kids in the back yes when they were growing up, and occasionally my wife rides in the passenger seat. About 15 years...

I concur with most of the thoughts from the other posts. I had a 2017 6MT, I loved it but my wife hated the manual. I ended up "upgrading" to an M2Comp. Then I saw the video from Savagegeese – “Cadillac CT4V Blackwing | GM Has a Soul.” I decided that I needed to capture “Lighting in a Bottle”...

I am getting off-topic here, but the Nurburgring is quite an experience. I highly recommend anyone that has track driving experience to go. I participated in a structured BMW track session event. I think that several organizations run similar programs. There were 6 student groups each in...

We are in crazy times but remember the saying "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." The Cadillac brand was built on Luxury cars. They have been pivoting to be GM's "Performance Brand", the V series vehicles, but the top performance cars stayed in Chevy - Camaro and Corvette...

They were already announced ...

Hello Blackwing518, I am sorry to hear about your disappointment with the CT5-V BW. The car is a "beast" horse power wise, but it can be tamed. When cornering you have anti-lock brakes when braking and a stability control system as you turn the wheel that will apply brakes as you corner to...

Hello Tall Steve, I was at Spring Mountain last week - CT5-V BW Auto (paid attendance). However, I just recently purchased a CT4-V BW 6MT so I will be going out again next Spring. The issue with the CT5-V BW on the track is that you really need to be gentle with the power on the curves or you...

Newt214, sorry to hear about your problems. I have my CTV4-V BW for 2 months - 1500 miles. As I posted in my Post comparing my BMW M2 to the Cadillac CT4-V BW: The cutch travel and engagement is very smooth and the shift action is great. I have been driving manual cars for the...

I understand your frustration. Here is my ownership path. I had an "order" at my local dealer since Feb 2022, and then I made another order at a second dealer in April. It turns out that I was simply on a "waitlist" to get a real order, both with a $1000 deposit. Neither dealer actually had...

I Agree! I am old school and I miss the hand brake on my M2C.

I wish that the 4 & 5 BW had a dashboard with an emblem on the passenger side like my Chevy SS -

Definitely sounds like a plan for next spring. I am planning on closing out the season at NJMP on Oct 28th.

The M2 does have a smaller tank. It uses 3/4 to 7/8 of a tank in 3 Novice group sessions at the NJMP Lightning track. I was hitting 130MPH (7K rpm in 4th) for most laps on the front straight.

I installed the PI Toolbox this morning. I downloaded the application and ran the installer. Then launched the app and it gave a licensing error. Within the Cosworth Software Licensing Configuration Tool, click on the + sign. Cut and paste the license information you received in the email...

Hello SHBOX. I just came back from the Cadillac V Performance Academy where they went over the use of the PDR and used it to record track sessions. #1 - When using PDR system setup. Select the PDR app from the on-screen menu and go into the PDR settings screen: Select audio yes/no and...
