    chipped/cracked windshield, anything I need to know?

    More worried about the skill of the individual installer than them using oem glass as I’ll make sure they use that…..They scratched the dash on my Camaro during a replacement after sending their “best guy” to do the job. Not sure I could keep myself composed if something similar happened to the...

    chipped/cracked windshield, anything I need to know?

    Wow, that's tough...I've had a bad chip/crack in mine I have been hesitant to get replaced because my insurance wants me to use Safelite. I guess I should start the process so maybe I can get glass by summer lol

    Steering wheel data plate

    Seems like entire carbon piece should be able to come off and swap wheels….I’ll likely pick up a suede one this spring and try it, I much prefer it to leather.

    CT5-V Kooks exhaust

    I’m with you on the tips, oem >>>. Kooks posted a couple sound clips on instagram and Facebook but it’s unclear if it’s just their catback or if it has their headers as well.

    Racing brake fluid

    SRF is my go to, worked well last season on the blackwing (as expected).

    CCB pad changes

    I gave KNS brakes the pagid PN back when I swapped pads. They were working on options for blackwing at the time - but still nothing listed on their site. They were very good with different pad options for 6gen Camaro and should have all kinds of data on pad sizes. They may be a good place to...

    A new competition for us all: Post your average lifetime RPM

    My car is a “daily” (work from home) and sees a handful of track days a year. 1. 228-46=182 2. 182x60=10,920 3. 2,638x10,000=26,380,000 4. 26,380,000/10,920=2,416.00 RPM 5BW 6M

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Surprised to hear this on the Sottozeros! What was the temp outside? I’ve been thoroughly impressed with how well they handle heavy throttle and even launch control lol. Haven’t driven them in super cold conditions yet however. I just keep having to remind myself the stopping distance isn’t...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5V Blackwing - Green Filter Installed/Part #

    I’ve begged rotofab multiple times and offered my car to corsa for a CAI since they’re kind of local, no luck yet.

    Microfiber Wheel and Shifter

    It’s very easy to maintain, no clue what 2/3 of the responses here are talking about. My Camaro wheel took 62k miles and 32 track days of abuse and looked nearly new when I sold it to the new owner. Sonax is your best friend… I followed the obsessed garage method of steam followed by sonax and a...

    BW5 rough idle

    Sounds like it may be similar to an issue i had…needed a new spark plug, cylinder 6. The issue started where it was minor enough I was questioning if I was just being hyper sensitive to bad enough to throw CELs

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I blame C&D based on that article….I called discount tire in June to get the ball rolling on winter tires for my 5V. Rookie move waiting till any month past August or September for performance winter tires. Surely this isn’t their first rodeo and they know better

    CT5-V 2023 CT5V Blackwing - Green Filter Installed/Part #

    I called them last week as well lol. Back when they announced it was coming they told me they were waiting on some components to finish the valves and get them on shelves for customers. Last week they told me the same - very soon. Can’t wait to add some more volume to the car, only thing I’m not...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I’m still running my normal “my mode” 90% of the time - everything is maxed out except brake feel and suspension set to 50%

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    I’ve had mine on for months like you pictured pressed up against the plastic and never noticed any bending of the actual CF rocker, I’ll double check tomorrow. I hand wash at least once a week, I feel like I would’ve had to have noticed that by now. Maybe I have them further forward or backward...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Search sottozero II on tire rack and 295/30/19 and 255/40/19 are both in stock. Been running them for a week with zero issues.

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    That’s odd, I just pressed mine up and had no issues bolting them on with the provided set screws

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Got 255/40/19 and 295/30/19 sottozero IIs mounted last week on stock tech bronze wheels. Looks wise you’d think the car is on a 305 and so far I’ve been extremely pleased with the tires dry performance as well as aesthetics. Surprised how well the car hooks honestly
