106 miles and got a CEL already. Code P10BA/Air Induction System fault. Hopefully it either clears on its own or it’s an easy clear at the dealer.

Not a deal killer, the winter set actually looks nice and much better than I thought it would. Had some fun today in parking lots get the feel of the PA5’s traction with nanny’s full on and partially off etc.

Not a parking spot, but it’ll be here a lot at it’s natural feeding grounds/habitat.

Woo hoo, winter set already arrived (thanks TR, only two days for shipping)! Look forward to getting them on and the break in done so it’s ready to go when the good weather arrives.

With the fun roads you get to drive on the SR is a great idea for that commute. Not trying to steer you towards the 5BW, but it is very different from the 4. I was quite surprised how different they are. But, with that commute you’ll be hitting the gas station every day/every other day in a...

Definitely do it before you get a family etc. It is a very cramped cockpit so that it is up to you if you could stand it as your only DD. The frunk and trunk have very nice storage areas. I know the trunk got extremely hot in the Z06s so I never put groceries or anything like that back there...

Agreed, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised they are trying this still, but I kind of am. Before I got my 5V BW this week, I was hunting leftover new 23 Charger kitty cats. Some dealers were still trying to ask for ADMs on those!

Both were customer ordered cars that backed out. I passed on them because of the seats as well. Mine has the Sky Cool Gray buckets, figured it was easier to add carbon bits in the future than it would be to switch seats.

I get the sentiment, but that’s not what this thread is about. I have a Mach E Rally I use for the winter, but that still doesn’t mean I want to store my 5V BW for 4-6 months for various reasons. Biggest one is I love driving it.

Also a similiar one at Luther, but with CCBs and I think at MSRP. I don’t have any contacts there, but went and looked at it and it is beautiful. https://www.luthercadillac.com/inventory/new-2025-cadillac-ct5-v-v-series-blackwing-rear-wheel-drive-sedan-1g6d25r65s0860062/

Not sure if ADMs are still a thing, but there is another 25 6 MT Black Raven with CF 1 n 2 ready to go at my dealer. Ask for Eldon, very good guy and will treat you well. No I get no kickbacks for posting it or if anyone buys it. Hopefully it’s mutually beneficial for someone here and the dealer...

I haven’t driven the previous 5V BW so I can’t directly compare. I live in a rural/very dark area and had zero complaints about them. The auto high beams worked great. I also don’t remember having complaints about my previous 4V BW headlights though either. Sorry, hard for me to comment on.

Fair, but I was just comparing manual gear boxes. You can probably option up a G8X M3/4 close to 100k and the MT still sucks. That was my main point. The 45-55k Honda/Acura MT is light years better than the BMWs and VWs, which are one of the best remaining MTs IMO. Or as someone else said, I...

I also had a C8 Z06 for ten months and miss it every day. Unfortunately my dad bod/old man knees from sports/work didn’t agree with the more cramped cockpit and exit wasn’t the easiest. My gawd though what a car! Every car guy/gal should have the chance to experience that thing. I had no issues...

I’ve driven many RWD sports cars and trucks through MN winters with no issues. But, it is up to your own comfort level and experience. Is it ideal, of course not. But, if you don’t do it often as you’ve indicated, I wouldn’t let it stop you from buying the car you actually want. I’m a long time...

Why do people still think it is the 1970s? I’ve lived in MN for most of my life and honestly the only rust I usually see now is on older model pick up trucks. As long as you wash it as you should, you shouldn’t have any problems. At least not for many many years (decade)? It’s a bummer that so...

Thanks, I liked the 25 in black best. It’s a bummer they have that back line run through every other color on the front end of the 25s. If not for that, I would’ve went for coastal blue or radiant red.

It is and it was! Just built a square Vredstein set on Tire Rack. Will be getting them on the car ASAP. I bought my previous 4VBW from them as well, really great group of people to work with.

As the title says, just picked up a 25 MT 5V BW tonight! Black Raven with bronze wheels and Sky Cool Grey seats are the option highlights. Was a previous owner of an auto 4V BW. As everyone here knows, it is an amazing car and even after just having it for a day, hands down my favorite manual...

I have a set of CT4-V BW PS4S tires that I need to get rid of. If someone near the twin cities area wants a set, I’ll let them go for $500. They have a few thousand miles on them and have about 80% tread life left on them. I took them off mid October last year and put all seasons on. Traded the...
