    Wet mode turns off traction control?

    Possibly a confounding variable is Ct4 vs 5. Seems those with 4s are happy to use PTM in suboptimal conditions and those with 5s possibly a little more restrained. The 5 has considerably more power and can be a handful in good conditions let alone poor ones.

    Wet mode turns off traction control?

    Wet PTM mode was designed for wet track usage not we street usage. That being said like others I find the aggressive TC when not using any PTM to be very intrusive and sometimes more dangerous as not using it at all especially when conditions are good. To each their own everyone should do what...

    C5B First Track Day: funny pictures inside

    Standard wing for the gt2rs clubsport I think more like 200 made not sure how many made it over to the us. Did see one at the track literally on delivery day straight from the trailer to the track by the owner.

    Blackwing "V" Dealer

    I was hoping the v series dealer network would be “real”. Seems like it is mostly marketing and sales BS not services focused training, at least that’s my interpretation after reading the following: https://www.springmountainmotorsports.com/driving-school/cadillac-v-series-certification

    Anyone get an SD card error when going over bumps?

    Yes, only sometimes on bumps but often when I get the ass end sideways. If you come up with a solution please let me know. I was going to try to put some tape over the whole SD slot to see if that helps?

    No Lift Shifting?

    For the 5BW I can confirm that no lift shift does NOT work if you aren’t WOT. Also has to be high RPM 5k+ when you do the shift. When I went to spring mountain they did NOT teach about no lift shift and went so far as to tell students who asked about it to NOT try it or do it on the track as...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I was told on the second day to use second for Esses and I stayed in second through turns 8 9 and 10. Two shifts on the main straight from second to third and fourth. This was in a manual 5BW. I am sure I would have been faster in an auto 5BW. Shifting to second in the esses take a fair amount...

    No Lift Shifting?

    No lift shifting is addictive when done properly. In my opinion the cadillac implementation has two too many prerequisites, over 5k RPM and WOT. It makes it pretty much a track use only item or 0-60 1-2 shift on the street. Anything else and you are approaching jail territory. If either of the...

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    If it sounds too good to be true…..1k is VERY low for full frontal PPF. Mine is in the shop now getting full body xpel and then xpel fusion. Thankfully my installer seems to be doing great work. He is sending me videos and posting on IG. Proof will be in the pudding at pickup.

    Unwanted Rev Match

    Not reported. It happens occasionally enough that I’m not going to pursue it unless there is a well documented fix/TSB.

    CT5 V Blackwing

    911 and 5BW serve different roles IMO I think they complement one another perfectly. Especially if you need space to carry around passengers. Plus added benefit of the caddy is that is completely inconspicuous.
