    Is this a decent price for this car?

    painful if you like it and find nothing, but if you are pursing the car, I would pull the wrap off for full paint and body inspection. Hell, hire a pro to do it, put it on a lift, etc.

    Blackwings and Watches

    a buddy has several fake Rolexs (off a street cart in NYC). They look legit from a normal conversational distance. Then he takes it off and hands it to me.... we both started laughing as he knew I knew instantly it's a fake... weighed nothing.

    Has anyone owned both 4vBW and 5vBW?

    my observation at Spring Mountain - I had one day were most of my group was in 5s with one 4 during the lead/follow laps. The 5s pulled away on the straights, but the 4 caught up braking and in the turns. Professional drivers (think how the instructor-driven lap went, "OH, that's what she can...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    If they build ~2,000 a year, I'd guess 1,000 slots per year is about right. Some folks buy it and don't know/don't care about it's track capabilities, some are too busy, some are collectors/garage queens, early-on there were flippers, etc. From a business perspective, better to need more seats...

    CT4-V Blkwng - "Your order ... has not officially been accepted by GM at this time."

    it means your order is at 1100 status.... your dealer has placed your order and GM has it, but your dealer does not have an allocation from GM to build your car. No allocation, no build. They get allocations on Thursdays and they must be confirmed by the dealer by Monday. In this window, your...

    General Advice for First Time 5BW Owners

    Roll on the throttle (not stab) and increase application speed and pressure as you get more comfortable and learn the car. And don't go to a party/BBQ, have 1 or 2 and go for joy ride to show your buddy your new loud and fast car. You can't hot dog it, "let me show you what she'll do!"...

    New Lyriq-V review

    Doesn't feel like an actual review as there are no driving impressions, states mostly facts and adds a few spins easily pulled from whatever GM shared. MotorAuthority dropped a similar release as well: 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V debuts with 615 hp for $79,990 This article mentions upgraded...

    CT5V BW Cold Start Exhaust Sound

    v-mode has to be pressed at each start up as the car does not remember this mode at shut down. If you set up mymode with track exhaust and shut the car off there, it will remember mymode settings at start up. there is a entire thread here on it I recall

    Video Recorder

    it can only record while driving if you have the performance data recorder option. If you don't track the car, it's good to have as it can monitor and record your drives (SD card slot near the parking brake). If you don't have it, the 360 camera records when someone approaches the car (the trunk...

    Used Value Trend

    that's my car. I got $78k for it back in late June. Garage queen, 11,000 miles in 2 years.... someone bought it and double that in 4-5 months. They added the rear wing and badges (I had it fully debadged and they put the trunk one in the wrong position). Great car for me - not a single issue...

    Gear whine (6 speed 5)

    Sold her a few months back. Not because of this issue/non issue that I never investigated, but just due to recently sailing our boat to Florida from Maryland and an RV on order. Our plan is to live 6 months on the boat and 6 months in the RV (on order) during hurricane season, so the BW just...
