    CT4-V Tools and Parts for DIY oil change

    Same here, sounds like we had the same person install our filters. Factory filter was torqued so tight the fluted wrench cap stripped and I had to crush the the filter with another filter wrench to get it off.

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    Yep. Last year around this time, my local dealers had about 7-10 4BWs each on their lots. They all had $30k-$50k addendums. The "deal" at that time was if you could negotiate MSRP and get fair money for your trade to help stomach paying MSRP. I watched so many cars sit all year and now...

    Oil Filters

    So, nothing wrong with the PF63 but the UPF63R has been considered an upgrade for the LF4 engine for a while now. The folks from Tapout Tuning here on the forum recommend this filter and use it in all their builds. I have tried both filters and I just like the more beefed up UPF63R. I like...

    Oil Filters

    It is a tiny bit longer but as mentioned it is mounted horizontally so no issue.

    Oil Filters

    I only use 5w30 Dexos1 in my 4BW but I use the UPF63R filter now. It is definitely feels more robust than the standard one for a few bucks more but my baby is worth it. :) If you want to see one cut open watch this video.

    Good to know. Is this the one?

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    It is all about the drive for me. Great chassis, well tuned magnetic dampers, Tremec 6-speed. Add some nice styling at a fair price and I am sold. I have a no option 4BW with M6, love it. It is the more practical, easier to live with Camaro for me. Performs like a Camaro SS 1LE.

    Spaceship Sound on Startup

    Luxcare is more than likely the interior/exterior protection product. Paint sealant and interior protection for the seats and carpets. I have no idea what that noise is but it is not normal and it sounds very "aftermarket-like".

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    I used to drive my C7 GrandSport and ZL1 up on a pair of 67" Race Ramps. I find it hard to believe you are lower than that.

    Nice, now there are two Black Raven 4BWs M6s tearing up the streets one no lift shift at a time. ;)

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    Boca Raton area. I see a fair number of Cadillac SUVs and some CT4s and CT5s but never see a Blackwing, except when driving by the dealership. I was at a Home Depot a few weeks ago and a fellow customer was admiring the car and he asked what it was, he had never seen it before. Haha, great...

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    By the way, I am in South Florida as well. I haven't seen another 4BW on the road since I bought mine last year. I think you, me and your client may be the only ones. ;)

    It looks like subsidized financing is the current incentive, although only 36 months on relatively expensive vehicles like is pretty restrictive.

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    It is nice to see the pendulum shift in the other direction after the market we have been through. It was just a matter of time. As long as interest rates are elevated I think we will see more and more pricing pressure.

    Haha, went from a Subaru Crosstrek to a 4BW at $20k off. Winning.

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    $6k off was a pretty typical discount before the pandemic. Around 10%. Once they sit long enough or GM starts doing the end of year incentives you see 15-20%. It looks like this dealer discounted it about 20% on their end but if it is the white car I posted above, they had over $5k in...

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    You would think the dealer would easily get more if they just sent it to the auction rather than take such a huge loss. Although, they probably balanced it against all the other vehicles they were making a huge profit.

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    Yep, good old days, when it was normal to buy Corvettes and Camaros at 15-20% off.

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    Nice, but did they rob him on the trade in? When I bought my 2022 4BW car, I got a "fair" price for my ZL1 on trade, which is the only reason I did the deal since I had to pay MSRP for the 4BW at the time. However, I purposely did not pick a loaded up trim since these cars historically...
