Am I the only one being taunted by AWE? Whenever I get an email from them like right now, I think it's an announcement for the 5BW exhaust that they are supposedly developing. Unfortunately, today's email was just a general one. But everyone keep signing up for updates for our cars and maybe...

Awesome car congratulations! Those things are on my radar, too, and that engine is very robust actually. Keep blogging about your experiences with it please.

Something doesn't seem right. I own a 5BW 6sp and have driven a 4BW 6sp and the 4BW blew me away with how precise and sharp it was and had plenty of power. Yes, I enjoy spinning the tires on my 5BW at 90 in 3rd but the 4BW felt superb and like a pointier, sharper version of the 5. For...

I am looking forward to hearing the results of the SPL arms!

Zoiks! Geez I guess maybe there is no way to get around all the systems reporting things.

Haha to both of you guys! When this data sharing was revealed, I went ahead and physically disconnected the plug in the trunk as other people had figured out. I wouldn't mind plugging it back in but only if I know 100% they aren't sharing/selling my data again.

I don't have the app and even though I turned off Smart Driver when I took delivery, the car turned it back on approximately a month later without letting me know.

Now that the dust has settled on how GM and others were sharing our data with Lexis/Nexis and other groups, has anyone tried to confirm whether the data sharing has actually stopped? Just curious.

That's a great deal! I'm going to wait and see how things go for you and others before deciding. I'm also waiting on another brand to get theirs ready for sale before deciding.

That sounds FANTASTIC!! Jeez I wish my car sounded like that! But . . . those hanging down mufflers have bothered me from the day the system was announced and your issue with them today backing up highlights that. Ugh come on, Corsa - redesign that aspect please!

So who is going to be the 1st to add the suspension components and get the Mag ride reflashed on their non-PP car?

Interesting about the other GM cars having these issues. My 5BW has the standard iron rotors with Ferodo 2500 pads up front but I did Spring Mountain in a car with the carbon rotors. I was fastest in my class and would be hard pressed to say the carbons were much better in terms of ultimate...

Very few cars that I have bought new have been aligned correctly from the factory. I seem to always need to get them tweaked within the first few weeks (I am a bit of a perfectionist plus I generally like slightly aggressive camber and toe). In saying this, wearing down the inside edge of a...

I have exactly zero interest in this upgrade. However, to play Devil's Advocate, using the logic of "these cars are so complicated that swapping out any component will cause problems", shouldn't upgrading OE rotors to Girodiscs etc and swapping out pads for G Locs and such cause the ECUs to...

I hate to tell you but I think your car might be broken. I average 11mpg around town.

Given AWEs overall great reputation, I am a buyer if it has similar to OE tips. I also hope they can package the mufflers in a way that they don't look like the goofy Corsa ones semi-hanging down on that 5BW above.

Any more owners with reviews/impressions? Any drone?

This is great information. I have posted elsewhere about noticing this phenomenon in 3rd and 4th and it definitely can be disconcerting. I may start with the SPL arms and see if I need to go any further. @WONT TAP - any thoughts on this issue or these arms?

Thank you very much for this thread! The liners actually had a surprising amount of movement before securing them earlier today. I didn't see any rub marks anywhere, though.

Too funny! I was actually planning on installing mine this coming weekend (I finally have a lift!). Right after your post showing the screws, I ordered some from Amazon that will be here tomorrow so I can spend a few minutes screwing things in and feeling like a real mechanic under my car.
