Not to mention we will see a lot backpedaling on this EV push, which should lead to some more ICE based offerings from manufacturers.

You can see the packages offered below. Now that they have cracked the E99 Global B ECMs I would prefer that over the JB4 so you have full tuning control. https://www.tapouttuning.com/product/470-to-500-whp-ct4-v-blackwing-white-belt-package/

To me, that is quick, these 4BWs really can put the power down, even with the 18 inch wheels/tires. In my ZL1 the best 1/4 mile time I could muster on a backroad using the built in timer was 11.5 sec and that was with the A10. I am sure on a prepped track with a great launch I could have done...

A buddy of mine has a yellow one, best exhaust note. He does wish it had some more torque though, he says you need to wring it out to get the power out of it, which is a challenge on the street, especially with that exhaust screaming from a half mile away.

I always found when I added more power to my cars it would be fun for a bit and then I would get used to it pretty quick and want more and more. Then you realize you need bigger brakes, stronger transmission parts, stickier tires, etc. Once the mod bug bites you can't help but scratch the...

What rpm are you at when you feel it nose over? I noticed that around 4000rpm when I first got my 4BW but once I ran a couple tanks of 93 octane through it (dealer put 87 octane in :mad:) I don't feel it pulling timing anymore, it feels linear during pulls all the way to redline. That said, GM...

How do like the torque of the LT4 vs. the GT350 flat plane crank? I love the way the GT350R revs and sounds but the shove in the seat from the LT4 is pretty sweet.

Very true, make sure you get those tires warmed up before putting your foot in it. I would also leave all the nannies enabled since as you have experienced you can lose traction pretty quick.

You can get locked up driving a Chevy Spark. ;) Kidding aside, it just depends on how you like to drive the cars. Some like to loaf them around knowing they have loads of power on tap and just enjoy the exhaust note and rowing the gears, etc. If you like to push your cars though and drive...

I see you are in Colorado? What is the altitude? ~7,000 feet? Rule of thumb is about 3% power loss per 1000 feet. Even with the supercharger on the LT4, which depending on a bunch of other factors, you are probably still down over 100-140 horsepower, probably ~500 hp to the wheels after you...

Not at all. What did you drive before? It sounds like you are looking for something a bit more raw and visceral. These are Cadillac sports sedans that target a balance of performance, comfort and practicality. That said, if you have money to burn you can tune these cars for big power.

Yes, the key really is the weight. The Miata I owned with 181hp/151tq felt much quicker than you would think since it only weighed 2,300lbs and the top went down to engage you more in the environment.

None that I am aware of and I owned both a Camaro SS 1LE and ZL1. The 4BW feels like a 4 door version of the SS 1LE. Nice blend of practicality, styling and performance.

FWIW, I traded a 2021 Camaro ZL1 for the 4BW. I have owned C7 Grand Sport M7 and Camaro SS 1LE prior to the ZL1. For me, the ZL1 was over the limit to be able to enjoy on the street. The performance limits are so high you really have to push the car to go-to-jail levels get any sense of...

Are you referring to low engine oil level or low oil pressure? If it is oil level that should pretty simple to check by using the oil dipstick in a consistent method, like in the morning after all the oil drains down into the pan. However, if you are referring to low oil pressure that is a...

The TR6060 feels a little more refined in my 4BW compared to the Camaros and Corvettes I have owned but I chalk that up to the little extra NVH treatment the Cadillacs get.

I bought a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance, it was $56k at the time after the $3,750 tax credit. I found it to be a decent vehicle with a lot of cool tech but once the instant torque novelty wore off I missed the engagement of a manual transmission. I sold it when the market started going nuts...

This is why I went with a base spec 4BW. MSRP was $61k on mine and Carvana and Carmax are coming back with the same ~$50k. I wish these cars would hold their value like Corvettes and Toyota Tacomas but they don't. Just enjoy it. Pricing should level off in the $40s-$50s and hopefully increase...

Yeah, who knows as GM has to back pedal after over rotating on all this EV nonsense. Maybe, they will go back to the drawing board and release some vehicles that people actually want to buy. https://insideevs.com/news/702126/ultium-platform-owners-gm/

Same here. While many driving enthusiasts know these are great cars there are not enough of us anymore to keep the prices from dropping. Cadillac also has a branding issue when it comes to performance cars. It is not quite at the Buick level but not that far away either. Remember when Buick...
