    Blackstone Labs 0W-40: ESP X3 v Supercar

    I decided that the debate needed to be officially settled. I sent off two virgin samples of Mobil 1 0W-40 for evaluation on similarities. 1. Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP X3 2. Mobil 1 0W-40 Supercar I paid for the additional TBN analysis. I’d just say that the two oils are virtually the same. So similar...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Coming out of SEATAC to this beauty being parked, waiting for me across the sky bridge. Can confirm: did in fact scare the late 20's couple that was behind the car upon startup. The thing roars inside parking garages, worth the $7 parking just for that alone.

    CT5-V K&N Looking for donor car various parts.

    Idle hands are the devil's workshop (or in this case idle hands are expensive). The vehicle has been available for nearly two years at this point, so it makes sense that they are only now getting around to it. I'm guessing they have a lull in their R&D time and they are looking to fill it with...

    I'm going crazy, where is the Engine Build Plaque thread?

    Not sure if this is what you mean: CT5-V Registry Bottom of page has engine builders. Although not 100% updated nor does it have my builder's name: Amie Taylor.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I too ordered a carbon fiber one from China (Amazon though, as i trust their return process more). Came completely cracked and didn't meet expectations. Also, like almost all the aftermarket ones, the edge wraps around the trunk further than the OEM one (which i don't think looks the best). I...

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    1. Hold ignition button for 5 seconds without touching brake or clutch. Car will go into ‘ignition on’ allowing you to change everything as though the car was running. 2. My ‘My Mode’ is set to stealth. I leave daily at 0510 and start the car in the garage while the wife is still asleep. 3...

    CT5-V K&N Looking for donor car various parts.

    I emailed him as I am up in the PNW. Figured I would give it a shot. However, he responded and wanted someone local or for me to drive it down. Definitely no offer to ship or cover a rental...

    Site Update: Official Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing Registry

    Because I thought you would care and definitely not because I am anal... CT5 V BW Registry: -When sorting the Exterior Color table by model year (especially 2023) it does not seem to sort properly -The additional options table seems to have the all weather mats MSRP in place of the quantity...

    CT5 BW Rev Match

    I'm frugal and this is strictly from a maximize MPG when just cruising: While going downhill or coasting to a stop, there will always be a gear that provides best fuel efficiency to coast to a stop in. This is only AMPLIFIED with a 1.7L supercharger mounted on top of a 6.2L V8. The...

    CT5-V Dash Cam Hardwire

    Thanks! It works for me :) I’ve never personally invested in a detector for reasons others have mentioned. I figure if I ever get pulled over for ‘go to jail’ speeds, that’s my fault. I like the insurance policy of having the GPS speed watermark and in-cabin recording. If some cop ever tries...

    Let's play a game.... Winners Get a Blackwing Badge....... 🏁

    Following the economic meltdown of 2030, GM once again faced bankruptcy filings. In hopes of future success, GM continued to pour funds into what would be one of the greatest economic failures of the 21st century, electified vehicles. Cadillac, GM's electric brand, was cornered into divestiture...

    CT5-V Dash Cam Hardwire

    Thought I would share my dash camera hardwire experience, as this is something I do in all of my cars and there weren’t many details out there on this car: What did I use (tried to link them to an Amazon page for reference, but it is not an affiliate link at all): Camera: VAVA Dual Facing Dash...
