    K&N Dry Air Filters

    Thanks. My son is nagging me to "upgrade" the 4BW. I told him exactly what you said. If GM could get a 20HP bump on the EPA dyno for what K&N charges, it would be on production cars ASAP. Don

    K&N Dry Air Filters

    Does anyone have experience with these? Historically a lot of claims are made for simple "upgrades". Don

    4BW Mileage

    I'm at 3300 miles, 2700 miles past the dealer freebie at 680 miles. Starting to plan my next dealer change. My car has the Atlanta Road Race IMSA carbon fiber stuff. Since I have $2800 in GM Credit card bonus, I'll let the dealer do it and I can snack on delicious cookes a female employee...

    4BW Mileage

    Yep, 10 speed auto. Very nice transmission. The designers did a fine job, often the only way you know it has shifted is that the rpm drops. I drove sticks for 35 yrs, wife got tired of them. Have to admit, driving sticks in heavy traffic wasn't fun for me. Don

    4BW Mileage

    Last time I looked, at 600 miles, mileage averaged 23.2. Lots of short trips, no long trips. Pretty good for a car with its performance capabilities. Don

    Dogs/Pets

    We have a Russian Blue we got from a shelter. Wasn't taken care of, we got him well after a bunch of vet visits. I love him. Many people would be irritated to see him on the kitchen counter. But too bad, he's very fastidious about grooming and I'd bet we can't train him not to use the...

    Car& Driver Review

    And now we're learning that EVs have a very difficult time charging in cold weather and may damage their batteries by trying charge at low temps. Like you I'm not going EV. I am impressed with Tesla Plaid Ss doing 0-60 in 1.9 sec but little else. Don

    Car& Driver Review

    I'd bet that other than real car enthusiasts, most people who might ask "What is that?" have zero idea what the Blackwings are and their idea of Cadillacs are the old, floating boats. Don

    Car& Driver Review

    While I'm sure many have seen this but probably some haven't. What follows is a very complimentary review of the 4Blackwing. Don Overview We all share a common desire with the 472-hp Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing—a daily commute fraught with hairpins and climbing esses instead of construction...

    Track Mode

    Although I have no intention of tracking this car, I have a question about what it does. I presume that it stiffens up the suspension but what else? Does it speed up throttle respomse etc? Thanks, Don

    CT5-V It only took 44 years

    I had a C7 Corvette. Traded it in on a 2016 Chevy SS which was destroyed by an inept driver driving his sister's junker of a Honda. Lost control, gave me a head on. Cop was present, said 100% the other driver's fault and unavoidable. Bouight a 2022 Kia Stinger GT1 twin turbo, superb low...

    Loaded 4BWs don't make sense to me

    I have a Road Atlanta IMSA special edition which I think has virtually every possible option including a great deal of carbon fiber. I had looked at the local dealership and for a good while in the past, the only cars available were on order and all were M6s which neither my wife nor I wanted...

    4BW LF4 Oil Consumption

    I have a 2023 CTV-4BW. It's an Atlanta Raceway IMSA special edition and I'm not interested in trying to work around the side skirts and the big chin spoiler. Plus, I have $2600 in bonuses on my GM credit card that I can spend on maintenance and accessories. I can sit in the dealer's nice...

    Tired of people who apparently have so little to do that they make a mountain out of a molehill. Overly sensitive? Doubtful, 21 yrs on active duty as a Navy officer, 7 straight years on sea duty. 17 yrs in a national nuclear weapons laboratory. Don't see a reason to put up with chickenshit...
