There's a lot of 'information' here that is all over the place. I'll provide my two cents below: 1. Get the PDK, it's a better fit for the engine. Porsche manuals aren't that great overall and the powerband/engine likes the 7-speed PDK. I'm all about manuals (I own 3 of them currently), but...

Still waiting for BMW to say it was a misprint as the quoted 5,400lbs is gross weight, not curb weight or something. But, nothing yet. I just don't see how BMW added 1,000lbs by hybridizing the F90 M5, but apparently they did. Just wow. Also, BMW has done well recently with making track...

Oh, the E39 M5 was my dream car back in college and just out of college. The E60 was cool too with that V10. F10 was okay, but a little too isolated feeling. After that, never really been that interested. The last gen M5 CS was quite a performer, so I would have considered that one if the BW...

Best of luck, Dustin! Hope GME and your other day trading stocks treat you well!

Always make sure to bring lots of cash to MX. That's how you pay any speeding tickets. :)

I've seen 177mph in my 5BW six-speed and it was a non-event. Closed course, Mexico, etc. Though, once the shift to sixth gear happens around 160ish, acceleration rate drops off quite a bit. :D

Yeah, they should have at least reached out to you first. If for no other reason than getting a highly valuable trade-in. Oh well, at least you got a car and don't need to mess with Earnhardt anymore.

Congrats on your beast. Quick question, how the HECK do you hook up? I have a hard enough time hooking with stock power on the stock tires with my '22 5 six-speed. Are you running R888R tires or something that to get the power down?

Yeah, if you didn't leave a deposit, they can't exactly be obligated to hold the car for you especially with another buyer standing right in front of them, loyalty aside. Regardless, I'm glad you found a car and are happy!

I have '22 5BW car #26 with the six-speed in Shadow. I've been tempted a few times to get a 10A "beater" 5BW for daily driving duties as I want to keep my six-speed forever so don't want to pile crazy miles on it. At mid 70's potentially, I may have to consider it a bit more if the market...

If you're not afraid to use the rev range, the LT6 is great on the street and the track. It won't have the low rpm hit, but it's every bit as fast as the 5BW if you rev it out. Launches are way better in the C8 too with available traction. I love the LT4 in my 5BW and it's definitely the...

Love the 4RS, but a buddy(who is a track rat) drove a 992 GT3 and 4RS and preferred the suspension and chassis of the 992. That said, the 4RS is a go kart missile. I have a ‘24 Z51 C8 and a C6 ZR1. Both great fun! Planning on making a strong run for a C8 ZR1.

I sold my ‘23 GTS too. Car was great, but I never fell for it like my old 991.2 GT3. Want a 992 GT3 but tired of the 50 over list games even for used so I’m fine with sitting on the sideline for a while driving my two Vettes and 5BW. I’ll survive. ;)

LT6 is a shrieker! Enjoy! I'm holding out for the LT7 and enjoying the 5BW and my LT2 C8 Z51 for now. Of course, I'll believe I have a LT7 when it's sitting in the garage. :D

You need to tune with headers though and to remove CEL, correct?

Man, not so sure that's entirely accurate. Sure, there's always a subset of the population that's "screw GM, screw Chevy", but lately they've been getting some love. Heck, I was reading a recent issue of Car and Drive on their 10 Best and the Corvette and both Blackwings were on it. Then, the...

That's the way to do it. With that method, you'll have zero issues.

Always google the main number of the dealer and verbally confirm wire instructions with a dealer principal before wiring money.
