    My BlackWing has been relieved of its duties...

    Congrats, heck of a deal! Struggle with the styling as it looks like a dog dropping a deuce, but the car itself is fantastic and I bet very nice to drive, especially for 'free.' Enjoy!

    Rev Limiter

    Be careful, good sir. If you rev it to 4,500rpm a few more times, you might pop the engine.

    CT4-V CT4-V BW vs Camaro ZL1 vs C8 Z51

    I have a CT5-V Blackwing six-speed and just picked up a '24 C8 Z51 as a garage mate to the BW. Love the C8, but I wouldn't own it if that's my only choice versus a Blackwing. My answer for you is CT4-V Blackwing six-speed. Awesome car, very enjoyable to drive, comfy, and very capable.

    Warranty Block on 4BW M6

    This would be beneficial, for sure, to eliminate the possibility of money shifts. I've been lucky to not have ever money shifted enough to pop an engine, but it's always in the back of my mind when tracking my manual cars. And, I don't like taking manual cars in for warranty work as you don't...

    2024 CT5-VBW goes into limp mode

    Who the heck wired your radar detector to the ignition circuit? Wow.
  6. Q

    What did you all drive back in the day?

    CT4BW is superior to ITS. I got the ITS as it had more rear-seat room and cargo room than the GR, though I'd argue the GR was a touch more fun to zip around town due to the AWD traction and the more immediate turn-in compared to the ITS. Absolute handling and performance favors the ITS a...

    What did you all drive back in the day?

    I started out with a '73 MGB, then a '93 Honda Del Sol, '97 Prelude, then out of college got a new '01 C5 Z51 and I have since vacillated between horsepower V8 cars, some flat six P-cars, trucks, and lower horsepower, but light and fun sports cars like my old '05 S2000 and my current '22 BRZ...

    CT5-V It only took 44 years

    Also a 5BW/C6 combo. Love those supercharged GM V8's!

    2025 5BW updates

    Updates are fine, but zero reason to upgrade from my '22 5BW.

    People with the Sky Cool Gray seats; any regrets?

    I love my sky cool "white" seats. :)

    Spring mountain- experienced racers?

    I'd start at 28ish cold and try to stay around 36 or so hot as they get pretty greasy upper 30's to low 40's. Adjust accordingly.

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    You can piss on the charger door too. Again, inability to improvise means they shouldn't be driving. Stay off the road.

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    100% correct. The app tells you the availability of nearby chargers real-time and the charger plug door frozen can be cleared with a cup of lukewarm water. Again, dumb people who can't solve their way out of a wet paper bag.

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    Funny that local Chicago affiliate is ABC which is owned by Disney. Bob Iger and Elon don't exactly get along. It's a hit piece. Any person who waits until their battery is at 5% or less to go find charging in sub zero temps deserves exactly what they get. Anyone with a brain doesn't have...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    90% of the Supra is BMW. Suspension, chassis, engine, ZF transmission, etc.

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    The only sports car Toyota currently makes is a Toyota Corolla GR which I owned and even that is a bit of a stretch as it's AWD, but it does have some cool motorsport bits (the 3 cylinder turbo is an awesome engine). The Supra is mostly BMW, the BRZ/86 is mostly Subaru (I have one of those too...

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    Wife's '23 Model Y LR has been awesome so far. 11k miles with zero issues (besides a error code glitch at the beginning the service center resolved in 20 minutes). Charge at home a few times a week and just drive it. It's a great complement for our family to haul our kids around and just run...

    Spring mountain- experienced racers?

    I think they required us to stay in 'sport' for the TPM mode. If it were my car on track, I'd do Race 1 or Race 2. Turns off stability and give you the precise traction management out of corners under throttle. That said, just play with the settings. Goes without saying, make sure you get...

    What made you choose a Blackwing and what else did you consider?

    I love the IS500 engine, but the rest of the car is archaic including the interior. Also, no engine oil cooler at all is a strong indication this is an around town cruiser and that's it. You track it or drive it aggressively for more than a few minutes and the car won't hold up. But, if you...
