I guess it’s not surprising how many threads turn into 4BW vs 5BW. In my view, the 4BW is a perfect street car… a completely balanced package. The 5BW not so much. I would have taken an AWD 5BW in a heartbeat though.

I don’t think the wing is that big. Maybe have it painted body color so it’s a little less obvious?

Y’all know there’s a 10A available too, right? 😁

He could tell you but then he’d have to kill you. 🤭

But the standard system is for drastically cutting power by limiting fuel flow to the engine whereas the PTM reduces power less abruptly and more smoothly by pulling out timing until the slipping or sliding is no longer detected. Can’t speak for other drivers but I’d prefer the latter for my...

It’s an adaptive system… however in this case it’s the driver who has to adapt. Once the car teaches you the proper speed for maneuvering around obstacles slowly and smoothly you’ll rarely have the surprise emergency braking. Best to turn off auto hold if you had it on too. The system only...

Agree with the last couple posts. These vehicles have a lot of power, and we don’t all drive like grannies. Regardless of semantics, I want the best setup available for whatever conditions I’m driving in. Not sure if it’s been mentioned in this thread, but while trying to research this topic I...

But it’s also available in V mode. Are you saying V mode is the same as track mode? Regardless… what is the best mode to be in if you’re driving on a wet street or highway and happen to give the car a bit too much throttle going around a turn?

My question was whether adding PTM to V mode was different from adding PTM in track mode, and whether wet PTM in V mode was recommended for driving on wet roads.

You’re probably right… I was basing my (clearly erroneous) assumptions on this thread, a related thread, and in particular the video of the Corvette going through the figure eight and mashing the throttle in the different PTM modes. The wet PTM greatly reduced slip by modulating power level…...

I think the answer is that when the program senses slip in wet mode it very quickly but smoothly reduces power. The system seems to want specific settings for some parameters when you program it into V mode settings or else it won't let you add PTM. Now just waiting for a wet day to try it out.

Revisiting this thread… I’d like to set up a wet street mode for my car. If I set up my V mode with subdued settings similar to touring and add wet PTM, would that give me the best wet road stability when I double tap the V button? Would this be different from wet track mode?

Maybe ask TapOut to add some larger air passages and forced induction to the seat ventilation system as an upgrade?

That would not impress the mailman. 🤣

Oh, I don’t mean to imply that I feel bad, or that I regret not getting a 5BW instead. On the contrary, I didn’t settle for the 4BW… I chose it. It’s just more suited to my needs and my personality. It’s an incredibly capable and fun car and it never fails to make me feel special whenever I...

Sure… yours has that Corvette engine in it.

I’m not too sure about straight line… it was one of those newer mail trucks. I know I can beat him at autocross though. 😉

My BW is usually parked in my garage when I’m home, but yesterday I needed to park it on the driveway for a while. Heard a knock at my door… it was my mailman delivering a few packages. He looked very excited… ”Hey, who’s Cadillac is that… is it yours?” Yes it is… just recently picked it up...

Screwed 🙉

The difference between Blackwing owners and other performance enthusiasts (and between 4BW and 5BW owners for that matter) is in their personalities… in this particular case a lack of personality.
