    Dyno Day, 620whp

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    For what it's worth and regardless of what the OM states: The engine isn't breaking in. The tolerances are fine from the factory and there's nothing "wearing in" in it. Nothing at all. The differential, on the other hand, is another story. That needs time to break in, and 500 miles is the...

    Semi-Aniline Interior Packages with Suede Seat Backs vs Carbon Fiber Seat Backs...

    I apologize for necro'ing this thread from September. Has anything been made public about this options as of yet? There's nothing on the Caddy website. Just curious if anyone's heard anything.

    Based on the photos, it looks like the Caddy's Red caliper is the same as the Corvette's Edge Red. Does anyone know if that's the case? And if so, did they end up on some sort of constraint given the plant fire from earlier this summer...

    CT5-V 5BW: High-Perf vs Full Semi-Aniline Seats

    Got it. I should have clarified (and edit OP) that I'm referring to the 5BW. According to the order guide, ventilated seats are standard equipment on that one.

    CT5-V 5BW: High-Perf vs Full Semi-Aniline Seats

    Hey folks - As we know, the Full Semi-Aniline seats on have also become unobtanium given the carbon fiber. Are the only differences between those and the lesser-expensive "High Perf" seats: seat backs seating surface material Importantly: are all of the supports, adjustments...

    CT5-V CFV: Functional Or Aesthetic?

    Hey folks - I'm spec'ing out my unobtanium so I can sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for it. I'm curious about the CFV option, which is the second carbon fiber option. Does it add aero functionality where there isn't any? Or is it a replacement for existing trim pieces? Again, I'm not...
