    CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

    Ha! Me neither. No, because I bought it in TX from Sewell. Note: I am getting irritated, but not TOO much, as the car still has summer-only tires on it and the weather is shitty... So, I wouldn't be driving it anyway. But still, what a SNAFU...

    CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

    UPDATE: Car still bricked. It's been a couple of weeks now... They say they are working with Cadillac on a solution, but that could take another 7-10 days.

    CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

    I did get my new SPL Toe Links installed and an alignment done. That's good news! However, I HAVE NOT been able to pick up the car because the dealer accidentally bricked it. Evidently, they did a recall (they said it was the one for unintended trunk opening) that involved installing new...

    CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

    I just received the SPL toe arms. Going to have them installed next week and get an alignment as well. I'll report back.

    CT5BW Blown Motor Registry

    I heard the engine builders were DEI hires. Maybe we should also start a 'STILL GOING STRONG' registry, so it doesn't appear like some large percentage of CT5BW's are blowing their motors on a regular basis...

    CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

    WANTED TO BRING THIS THREAD BACK UP... After 10,000 miles, my CT5V is experiencing severe rear end wiggle when you jump on the throttle at higher speeds in 3rd and 4th gear. There have been pretty significant discussions on this issue on the Blackwing Facebook Group and people have tracked it...

    CT5-V Massive Intake?

    They stole that from the Ford Thunderbolt! This intake does look cool though. I'd just run the smaller tube with the stock tune to avoid any issues...

    CT5-V Blackwing vs. Ioniq 5 N

    That Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is an AWESOME car. It replicates a regular paddle-shift car down to the last detail, including bouncing off the rev limiter. It basically replicates the experience of being in a rear-drive, manually-shifted dual clutch type car... Check out this Nurburgring video of...

    I hate carfax

    Carfax does bring you some peace of mind, just like when you bring a stripper home, get ready to stick it in, and then ask her "You're clean, right?"

    Pressure Washing

    Pressure washer is great for use with the foam cannon! Other than that, there is no reason to pressure wash your paint... Either use a 2-bucket method or Optimum No-Rinse. This is the way. Optimum No-Rinse is a great way to get your finish very clean with very minimal marring. Much less...

    SC Intercooler outlet line broke

    I got the car back... HOWEVER, it still smells like coolant when idling, at stoplights, slow speeds, etc. I don't think it's residual coolant left over from the original leak, but I'll give it another day to clear up. I'm not sure, but they don't have ANY spares collecting dust in the U.S...

    SC Intercooler outlet line broke

    I've been waiting for the intercooler pump to arrive. It got to the dealership yesterday. Car should be done tomorrow. Total downtime has been about 30 days...

    SC Intercooler outlet line broke

    I just got the same CEL while on highway. Called OnStar; they emailed me this: Car smells like coolant a bit when idling, but no visible leaks, coolant temp normal, no misfire, all else ok. 2024 CT5BW w/5,500 miles. Dealer looked at car today. They are saying it's an intercooler pump leak...

    Escalade IQ Pricing

    So, I went in to talk with a local dealer about the IQ. They said I could put $500 down to reserve a spot in line for the truck. When they have the ability to order the truck, they will call me and let me know what the "dealer premium" will be on top of the MSRP. They expect the...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    It's the failure causing the shavings, not the shavings causing the failure. If you see visible shavings or good-sized chunks of metal on the drain plug, you probably have an issue.
