    6,000+ mile owner review 2024 CT5-V Blackwing

    My only real complaint is the fuel tank. Sometimes you really need to plan out fuel stops. The power is amazing. It does have power all thru the band width, and I have found it's very stable at very illegal speeds. @MookdocOE , @VBhak , @rubberduck and anyone else is AZ...... we should all...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I did a calculation regarding both terms. Overall, I made about 8% a year under Orange man (factoring out the bad Covid down year). Close to 16% with the current guy. I am dumb founded how much money we've made in the last 12-14 months. I don't know how any administration can keep cutting...

    I'm a liar

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    I bought a 4BW new while I waited for my 5BW. It's a really nice driver. Handles well in the twistes, around town and on the track. Just a fun car to drive. BUT, I always felt it was under powered for 472 HP. I thought it would have been quicker. I often wondered if it was just my car?

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    @ULTIMATE V ....you don't have an allocation. You have a "promise" to "get" the next allocation when Typhoon becomes available. Ask them for the 6 digit order number. No dealer is going to lose an allocation, especially for a Blackwing.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Beautiful day here yesterday so I thought I'd go for a ride. I forget how much I LOVE this car!

    Carbon fiber PN database.

    It might not be "discontinued". It's probably the supplier that's discontinued. That was part of the issue for 2022. They changed suppliers multiple times.

    Happy Thanksgiving! - What New Parts Are Needed For 2025?

    That might be of interest to me. Could it/would it include the side pieces (wickers)? Happy Thanksgiving to you also, Terrance

    Owning a low volume production car can have its drawbacks...

    Out here in AZ, we have problems with pack rats. They will tear up a car in short order. Most people here who have to park outside will leave some kind of light under the car (under the engine) during the night. Some use shop lights, some Christmas lights, even just a bare light bulb. Seems the...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    Some interesting comments. I'm not sure people, in general, understand the repercussions of what might happen here. As usual, the poor will get screwed. The middle class will be in trouble unless you've got a lot of money, but then that makes you upper middle or higher. What happens when 50...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    Not to get political, but I think you will see the ACA go away. Trump hates it, wants it gone, he tried what? 20 something times. There will be no replacement even though he has "concepts". I agree that the "pre existing conditions" clause will not be included and will screw most people. Health...

    Software update letter from Cadillac?

    I know my dealer wants all recall cars early in the morning, especially for software updates, because they can take hours to do. When I had my parking sensors done, they gave me a rental and told me to come back end of day. This recall effects most GM vehicles, and the notices don't seem to...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I guess I should clarify two things....first, my wife loves her job. Loves what she does. She's well paid, great bonuses, very good benes. That's the key. If you love what you do, that's huge. Second, many of the trips I've taken, she has no interest in. For example, HPDE events, I've driven...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    @BimmerFan ....for what it's worth, I retired early (2018) and don't regret it at all. Good job, really good money. Just got tried of the ever worsening BS at work. Every quarter, new rules, new requirements. All stupid shit. I've been working since I was 15 (maybe 14?). My wife still works, so...

    2025 5BW/4BW Video Reviews will most likely be posted soon

    Love it! Um, but not a button in sight. Ugh! I'd love to pick up a 2023, 2024 pre owned, but they are still around $130K and up.

    IIRC, the ATS-V manual had titanium push rods if that helps

    MPG problem on new 2024 CT5-V Blackwing

    Man, tough room. I think I'm getting 17-18 running around town, but that's combined city and highway. Just came back from California. I averaged 22-23 on the trip out and back. I think that's pretty good. I believe that matches EPA Highway. I know it's a lot better than my Expedition gets.

    Potential new CT4-V Blackwing owner, things to note on delivery?

    Price goes up as miles go up, and as time goes by. There are certain thresholds like 12K miles as you said. If you want one, I'd do it sooner rather than later. Shop around as the selling dealer might be very expensive. Todd Sutherland at MacMulkin Chevrolet, Cadillac has some very good prices.
