I'd keep the GTR and dump the IS500 and/or the FL5 for the 5BW!

L87's and LT4's are not DRAMATICALLY different. And the use of the same oil causes concern if GM really thinks a heavier oil can 'protect' an engine better. Particularly, you ladies that run the 10A and have the the cylinder deactivation in the LT4. :)

My 4 year factory warranty is up in August (got one of the first 250 5BW cars), so I need to start searching too. Please keep us posted on where you find the best extended warranty deal!

Your engine was likely abused by previous owner. A few overrev events can loosen an engine up and over time, it can fail in one way or another. GM is being a little cautious, but you're going to get a new motor eventually. Insist on a decent loaner every time you bring the car in and just...

Armaspeed, it was easy to install, decent CF quality, and not too expensive. I recommend it. Yeah, there is a lot missing for a $50k+ price point. I didn't buy it for the luxury and tech, but Acura did cheap out on some of that stuff as you mentioned. Driving experience is good though for...

I had a '24 ITS for about 6 months. Was very fun car to drive. FWD was a bit annoying, but outside of first gear, it mostly worked fine. Added an air intake and that really added to the enjoyment factor hearing the turbo whoosh and blow-off sounds. It's definitely not a Blackwing, but it's...

Yep, those 92 miles are hard Ferris Bueller valet, rode hard and put away wet, dog from the 7th circle of hell miles is what every potential buyer should consider. :D

I 100% see both sides. I've walked over $50 literally on principle. But, those a-holes had another buyer lined up and hoped you backed out of the transaction. :( Screw 'em. These cars are relatively rare, but not THAT rare. :) Order a '26 the way you want it from Sewell at list with no BS...

$38k is a good deal for a base Z if you want a 2 door sports car.

Reason for my grok post is to state the obvious that it will likely take a twin screw blower to REALLY make it sound like a Hellcat. I had a '23 TRX for a while and the Hellcat engine is bada**. The LT4 is great too, but it's just plain quieter on the intake/blower side and that's by design...

grok: The Dodge Hellcat and the Chevrolet LT4 are both iconic supercharged V8 engines, but their supercharger designs differ significantly due to engineering choices tailored to each brand's performance goals. Here's a breakdown of the key supercharger differences between the two: Dodge Hellcat...

Great write-up, Berserker! Thank you for that. Your thoughts echo may of mine and my Model S. It's just so easy to own and drive. You won't have to do probably ANY maintenance during your lease term either unless you just have to rotate tires or add windshield washer fluid. Does the Lucid...

Congrats on the pick-up! So, any preliminary driving impressions particularly as it's relates to your BW? Pros/cons, etc.?

If you do 40amps on a good quality 14-50 plug professionally installed by an EV experienced electrician, you will be absolutely fine. I've had mine for 2.5 years with zero issues charging several times a week on my cheapo Woshion charger (that still works perfectly).

Sounds like it's time to pull the trigger on the Pure! You'll really live EV ownership for the daily runabout tasks. It's just so easy to own. Software updates over the air, charging at night, no oil changes, no maintenance at all really besides tire rotation and windshield washer fluid...

For a daily replacement, the 4BW is superior. For weekend fun, 911 is hard to beat. I've had a few (991.2 GT3 and 992 GTS) and they are awesome, but the Blackwings are the total package for a daily car that can be fun when pushed. Agree with your strategy to replace the BMW with the BW and...

OP, go drive one. I've seen and read many people coming from //M and AMG to the Blackwings, but very few go back to ze Germans. :m

It's not much of a gamble on a 2-3 year lease. Lucid isn't going anywhere anytime soon given their highly liquid benefactors. (PIF of Saudi Arabia, etc.) The Gravity SUV might actually get them on the path to an eventual profit too if the vehicle is very well received and they can crank them...

I have the 14-50 and a 40amp charger and it works flawlessly for our Model Y and Model S Plaid EV beaters. Easily charges overnight and install cost is relatively cheap. It was actually less than $200 brand new (on some crazy amazon discount) Woshion Chinese EV charger. I bought a Tesla...

Go for it! I have two EV's for daily for wife ('23 Model Y) and weekend family beater ('24 Model S Plaid). They both serve their purpose very well and I enjoy driving them both. It's a different experience and the thrust (especially on the MSP) is intoxicating. It just feels like a spaceship...
