Howdy neighbor! Mid-cities here as well!

How often do the plugs need to be replaced? Do the performance plugs last as long as the factory standard plugs once you switch?

Well…I don’t really think of the CT4-V as a consolation prize car. It’s very good and stands on its own and quite frankly, it’s what I could afford reasonably - It’s MY “sledgehammer” and “scalpel” (and frankly I like the looks of the 4 a little more) so there’s that. Not sure why comparisons...

Oh yeah. That’s why I said fingers crossed. If C&D even HINTS at anything being amiss the fan boys will pile on with “typical GM quality” or “German engineering is always superior” sentiment. I’m holding my breath that all goes well…so far it’s very positive! I really do believe that these...

Fingers Crossed: Our Long-Term 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Arrives to Challenge the BMW M3

These guys were supposed to be working on some - they just needed a car: https://zl1addons.com/collections/cts-v-rock-guards

Love it! I didn’t know that was a thing! Where’d you get them from?

I mentioned this earlier - in this thread…most comparisons seem to be to the competition but that to me, that didn’t seem like a reasonable comparison…especially if it’s stick. Car and Driver did that at this year’s Lightning Lap and Motortrend compared the 4 to the Comp in their head to head.

I started down this road a last month when I got the car and I think the easiest way is going to be an applique (which sounds good on paper but seeing examples looks kind of bad) or a wrap because the finger rest (that's what I'm calling it) seems to part of the unit...? (Links embedded inline)

The blinkers are WAY too quiet and I don’t see an easy place to increase the volume.

1) Do you feel a bump in performance? 2) Does the car smell like raw fuel in traffic/idling?

Perhaps I'm thinking of the Comp X-drive vs CT4 Blackwing comparisons that have been making the rounds. Lightning Lap in Car and Driver was one of those and Motor Trend did one as well.

Or…just compare it to the standard M3. Not the M3 Competition that is like an M3 with a tune and all the tricks thrown at it that’s 20k more than the standard M3 😂

If I understand correctly, the CT4 BW doesn't have the same kind of dry intercooler problems that the ATS-V had so it's not really something to worry about @WONT TAP may be able to elaborate...?

I got this one and it says I have over 1000 minutes - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NY23WBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

He does an actual review here:

I had a G8 GXP Manual and a gen 1 CTS-V so not exactly an SS but similar...recipes? I now have a CT4-BW and the feeling is totally different. To me the BW is a GM sedan in the spirit of the very best European sports sedans where the G8 and CTS (and the SS I test drove) like muscle cars. I'd...

Not quite at 500 miles yet so I don’t know what she has in her - but PLENTY peppy from what I can tell…

The V6 was a marketing decision and nothing more from what I understand. Top brass wanted the car to have a Euro feel because they thought that is what people in the segment wanted but they kind of missed an opportunity. GM is the V8 company. Just the same, it sounds like it's a great engine...
