    (Long) Cross shopped an RS7, M5, and CT5V Blackwing - I'm getting the Blackwing

    Caveat - Don't have either a 5 BW or an RS6 but this observation and Mutz;s comparison above have made me consider the differences between my old B5 S4 Avant (basically an RS4+ clone) and my 4 BW. Back when I had my Audi reviews (and comments from BMW owners at the time) implied that the S4 was...

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    I've experienced this at least 3 times. Once it should have been me and the cop motioned over another driver (that I was overtaking). I thought I was cooked. Another time the reverse and I wasn't able to convince either the cop or the judge that he got the wrong driver. A third time I rightly...

    R33 GTR as 4BW companion?

    Don't ever sell it. My Gen 1 supercharged MR2 was the most fun car I've ever owned. A neighbor of mine bought it several years ago and its his around town car still. As fun as Miatas are - I've always though the MR2s were better in nearly every way. Yours looks great BTW.

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Around 30 years ago I had a friend who ended up spending 6 months in jail (and losing his license for years) strictly on speeding tickets (judge commented on rolling out the scroll when he sentenced him). He would warn anyone riding with him that he wouldn't stop for cops. I was never in a...

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    I've never owned or used a radar detector though have seriously considered doing so numerous times....even spending time on the Vortex site researching in times past. Can't really say why but I can certainly see how they may have prevented a few tickets....and I often do drive quickly. It also...

    Victory Driven

    I.m enjoying the book. Just read through all the early CTS-V stuff through the wagon (much love there) and skipped ahead to the Blackwings. Just now put it down.

    New Book...."Victory Driven" Cadillac V-series by Andrew Nussbaum

    I've read a great deal of the BMW stuff up front then opened and read random pages throughout the book covering all the V models, Interesting reads throughout. Great pics too! I only wish there was info on modded examples and what folks had done to each of these generations of cars. Also would...

    First time V-car owner

    Really - lol - I never knew that and they never mentioned it. Our trophy was a cheap wooden stand with a fork sticking out stabbing a paper machete meatball.

    About to Order, Engine Failure Questions

    I feel for our Canadian friends and for all who may/will suffer under many of the policies and actions being taken by the current administration - including a new friend who may lose his new job at USDA that involves food aid to some African countries that is helping not only Africans but...

    (Long) Cross shopped an RS7, M5, and CT5V Blackwing - I'm getting the Blackwing

    Great write up and comparo bamagrad 03. I think you made the right choice (as an enthusiast driver) and for all the right reasons. You will enjoy your ride immensely. The Caddy's interior is underrated IMO (and really now) - aside from just being quite nice its highly functional and the seats...

    What would you do?

    Back in the day - with my Stage 3 B5 Audi S4 - where I was used to pretty much being faster then just about anything - I only ever got truly smoked twice. Once by a mid-2000s era well modded supercharged Mustang and another time by a C5 Z06 Vette (that was also obviously modded). Both were from...

    What would you do?

    I generally agree - its usually not worth it....but sometimes one just can;t help it. (good to do a check around first though if you can). I often find other folks racing me and I'm sometimes confused....but then I get it. Its just me driving like I do and other folks think I'm actually trying...

    First time V-car owner

    LOL I used to make exercise scenario videos for DOD back in the day and I once had the occasion to include a bit that had a reference to Tailhook...but I didn't want the spot pulled due to sensitivities so I called it the meathook conference instead...everyone got it but no higher ups felt the...

    Nearing the end of the Goat Rodeo

    I did follow th 1,500 mile suggested break in though I'm often skeptical of the absolute need in doing so. As tough as it is trying one's patience its probably best to be conservative....but I think as long as you avoid burn outs and crazy stuff early on you[re probably OK. It was particularly...

    Nearing the end of the Goat Rodeo

    Cool. Be interesting to hear your impressions of the Caddy after driving pretty recent BMWs. I think the Caddy compares favorably in pretty much all respects. Don't forget to let the engine break in - at least 500 miles (some say it needs more)....before revving it out like crazy... I used to...

    Nearing the end of the Goat Rodeo

    Congrats! (in advance)....great freeway cruiser but to test the limits you'll need to take to the hills. Post some pics and an update when it arrives. What cars are you coming from (or still own)? I had one on order and joined this forum. Somebody here pointed out there was a car for sale in...

    New Member - NoVA Area CT5V BW

    You the man! Its been awfully cold out here in NVA these past few weeks. I just look at my BW and cry. Hopefully I'll get the chance to wash it off in a week or so when it warms up...
