    Did you do or are doing V academy

    Hey all, I could use some help. I finally got my ‘25 CT5 BW today. When I asked about the V-Performance Academy the salesman had no idea what I was talking about, and the owner of the dealership said I had to sign up via the Cadillac website. I don’t see anywhere on the site to do any such...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Didn’t have the dealership wash it or anything… the PPF shop owner said he’s seen dealerships just wreck a brand new paint job with improper washing (either running it through a machine or a quick once over out back). I can’t wait to see what it looks like once it’s finished next week.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I picked it up from the dealership and drove it for about forty minutes before dropping it off to have it coated in Kavaca Ceramic Pro PPF. It is pretty hard to part from it immediately after finally getting key/ownership of it, but I know it’s for the best. They’re gonna buff out the paint to...

    New & excited

    Congrats man. Hopefully you don’t have to wait as long as some folks have. I got lucky and had a come up from someone else changing their mind about their order after the car was already in production. It’s been in transit for the last month plus, and it finally arrived on Friday. I go to pick...

    25 5VBW Easter Egg

    For those of us on the West Coast the air filter is a great addition for when Forrest fires are raging!

    25 5VBW Easter Egg

    The fact that they’re making a 2026 almost makes me wish I’d held off until they’re taking orders to get a BW. I’m sure they’ll add the ‘standard’ parking package to the MSRP, but if it’s true that it’s going to be 700HP then it’d almost be worth the wait. I’m not buying it as an investment...

    25 5VBW Easter Egg

    Is it really though, haven’t people said that for the last few years about the Blackwing?

    Brand new to Cadillac

    It will have all of the info in the manual, but here is what I have read here that people shared. Like you I am going to use it as my daily as often as possible, so I want it to be able to last for the long haul. I’ve seen plenty of videos of guys going balls to the wall at 500 miles because...

    Here’s a screenshot of what google has to say about it.

    Brand new to Cadillac

    Damn man. I’d be wary of it being sold so soon after. The break in period for the BW is 1500 miles, so I’d be worried they drove it hard and put it away wet. I’d hate to spend that much dough on a car that’s gonna have issues down the road due to poor engine break-in.

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    I can’t find the Alpin PA4 aaaanyyyywhere. It’s super f’n annoying. I ended up going with the Nitto Invo, I called their customer service to make sure they were safe to use in temps 40 and below. They said that below freezing there may be an issue, but other than that they’re good to go. Living...

    Thinking of buying a Blackwing & have a question

    Mine’s been “in transit” for the past month. Not sure why it’s taken so long to get from Detroit to Reno, but there it is. Just got a text from the salesperson with an update on the location… it’s finally in Nebraska. So if it took a month to travel across two states, I guess it’ll cross the...

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Forsho… I wasn’t implying you were in the wrong at all just FYI. An honest mechanic is worth their weight in gold no doubt. I had a guy I trusted implicitly in SF, and just found one I’m fairly certain I can rely on six years after moving to Vallejo. Now I just need to find one up at my spot...

    Theft Deterrent

    Is this and the OBD lock really necessary with the MT? Probably a dumb question. A MT car got stolen from the garage at my wife’s work (hospital in Oakland), and the thief only got a block before abandoning hope… it completely ruined the transmission though. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Damn! I mean I get your stance and all… but at the same time, if people know you have money, of course they’re gonna upsell and over overcharge. It doesn’t make it good business, but it’s just how it goes, hopefully we as the consumer are smart enough to keep the wool out of our eyes. It’s part...

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    I just ordered it all yesterday. I went directly from the VIOFO website (same prices as Amazon). Whichever can you choose to go with, it will automatically show you the options to bundle with it. The hardwired kits all say which cams they are to wire. I thought about going with 329, but didn’t...

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    I realized the 64 GB will get eaten up in a flash. So I ordered the 256 GB and will return the 64.

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    I absolutely love this forum! I appreciate the suggestions from those with experience. I also appreciate being stopped from making mistakes… so I cancelled my order from the caddy dealership, and bought myself the VIOFO 129 Pro Duo, complete with the hardwiring kit, a 64Gb sim, and polarized...
