Not surprising, but Magnuson 2650's are up and available for the 5V BW - pulley and tune has them pushing 770whp 760wtq https://boostdistrict.com/collections/2022-ct5-v-blackwing-upgrades/products/2022-cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-tvs2650r-supercharger-upgrade-kit

@jodakid69 I received this response from Ben at Brembro "The lubricant he's referring to is a copper paste that is applied to the abutments (ends) of the brake pad backing plate. It's not intended as an anti-seize, but rather to help with brake noise (it decouples the pad from the caliper...

I'm absolutely changing it before - I've done new gears on my lifted truck and on my race cars of past and always did fresh fluid after 500-1000 miles, and the crap that I find coming out from the gears finding their mating point is pretty ugly. I'm not 100% sold on doing it again AFTER I get...

I'm a sucker for a sport wagon - hope you get what you're looking for sooner than later man, that wait sucks. I opted to just find one nationally that was optioned the way I wanted and was at or close to MSRP. There are quite a few M6 5VBW's out there if you're willing to buy sight unseen and...

I spent about $8,000 for full tint (incl windshield), XPEL full body PPF, ceramic coating on full exterior, interior, calipers and inside/outside of wheels. I was quoted $12,000 by another shop as well for the same work. $5,000 for full body is a really good deal if the film is of equal quality

Lock yourself in with the ratcheting seat belt. Put your seat 4" back from where you would normally have it at the track, pull the seatbelt all the way out then buckle and release, and you'll feel it ratchet and get snug. Now move 4" forward and it should be very tight, but not uncomfortable...

I have a set with 1500 miles on them still on my car. Been considering picking up some signature wheels. Shoot me a DM and we can discuss (I'm in Eastern TN)

Agreed - we had to have the windshield replaced on my wife's 2022 Grand Wagoneer b/c of an issue with the IRR film the factory used on it. When we picked it up, water came out of the steering column into my wife's lap. We took it back, they tested it "extensively" and found no signs of a leak...

Owners manual for a CT5-V Blackwing says to do it both, before and after. (after 1500mi and before first track event, then again after first racing or competitive driving event and after every 24hrs of competitive driving.)

Welcome! In for details on the CTS-V

That was their target, but he said they far exceeded it

Had a photographer get some shots while she still looks pretty, haha. Here’s a sneak peeks.

Only got 9200 miles from them? Wow! Must've been one rough track day?

I believe the comment from Ben was "while it depends on the individual, that their TARGET at Brembro was to get 6 full tanks of gas worth of track usage out of the pads and that he believes they FAR EXCEEDED that." - This was in reference to the standard Iron Rotor/Pad combo, not the CCB...

@jodakid69 I wasn't able to make the V-Club Tech Talk last night with Brembro, but watched it this morning and didn't see your anti-seize part mentioned or asked about, so I e-mailed Ryan Bates who will forward the question along to Ben at Brembro and hopefully have an answer for you. As for...

Did you PPF over the decal or did they go on after?

Yeah she missed the mark and I’d be curious if she was quoting with GM OEM parts or with aftermarket knockoffs.

Nice car and nearly same build sheet as mine - GLWS

In the video they show it has Corsa CAI and Catback Exhaust

Good to know Also it appeared like the Blackwing was still pulling on the Hellcat as they approached/passed the 1/8th mile. I would think that the Blackwing would continue to keep pulling on it or hold it steady as they approached the 1/4 mile so that makes sense.
