    CT5-V New CT5-V Blackwing needs new transmission prior to delivery. What to do?

    Man that is in rough shape. I suggest name dropping so people can avoid that dealership. They deserve to be shamed. Would writing a strongly worded letter to Cadillac and GM brass help any with this situation? It's a new car and was delivered to you in pretty bad condition. I would say this...

    Road noise

    I drove my new 4BW 700 miles from Austin to KC, and there definitely is some road and tire noise. Wind noise is practically non-existent though. For a car of its kind and purpose, road noise is inevitable, even expected really. There are quieter cars, and there are louder cars. But the 4BW's...

    Throttle house looking for a CT4 V blackwing in toronto

    I thought about maybe buying the M2 as well if the 4BW purchase didn't pan out. Luckily for me, there are over 200. manuals all over the country to choose from right now. As someone that plans to track the 4BW regularly, I found that GM made the 4BW a trackable street car with little to no...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Normally every month during the season. Been there twice already this year. TNIA and NASA. I track(ed) a lightly modified Veloster N which is being sold and the 4BW replaced it. I’ve got 3 weeks to put 1500 miles in to the BW, change oil, brake fluid, rear diff fluid, get a track anlignment, and...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    keep in mind the sales tax savings of trading it in for one car vs another. in KS that is pushing 9%... I live in the MO side so I can fill out form 426 when I sell the trade and receive a sales tax refund.

    2024 price increase(Both CT4 and CT5)

    Not as bad as I thought it would, but that's still $1000 and $2500 that you get nothing for.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Screw this dealer. I’m flying to Austin to hang out with my good friends and buy a 4BW tomorrow. Already got a pre-approved loan for much, much less interest than what I know Ally Financial can do for me. Found one with the right options and better color and has a $2000 off incentive. Gonna sell...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    There are over 200 manual 4BWs sitting around in dealer lots all over the country, many of which have a $2000 incentive. I told my dealer that if that car I'm waiting on isn't loaded on to the train by the end of this week, I'll go with an out of state dealer. I have friends in Austin. I can fly...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    That's a long time. I waited nearly that long for my GR Corolla to arrive when I put a deposit down last March. Arrived at the end of February this year. Surprise call outta nowhere. I guess the big difference between the Blackwing and the GR is that the GR is made in Japan and transported via...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    I know. It’s the combination of excitement and impatience that’s killing me. The car is literally at the home stretch here, with an overnight train ride to KC, but still stuck in limbo. I’ve calmed down since the salesman called and gave me an update. They just had to move the goal post to...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Are Cadillac dealers THIS bad? The car I'm waiting on has an EDD of today, May 22nd. The salesman and I already worked the numbers on my trade and all of that 2 weeks ago. I haven't gotten a call from anyone at the dealer about it. I called them. And they told me the salesman I was working with...

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    I think I read something a while back stating that Cadillac wanted a unique engine rather than use the rest of GM's engine lineup. Which is odd, considering that the CTS-V and 5BW use a Z06 engine. A 4BW with an N/A small block is the stuff of dreams. It'd be lighter by at least 100 lbs due to...

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    Stupid dealer ordered automatic 4BWs thinking they'd sell to their regular customers. I told my salesman that if the 3 sitting automatics were manuals, they would have sold long, long ago. Hell, I would have bought one. But they for some reason, insist in ordering autos thinking that their...

    I’ve found the secret sauce (track pads)

    I use an entire liter bottle when I switch to SRF for a complete flush. Coincidentally, the smallest bottle of SRF you can buy is exactly 1 liter.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Thank you for your service @Rob Update on my 4BW. On 15 May, the Cadillac chat said the status was back to 4000. It was 4150, then 4300, then 4200 from 09 May to at least 14 May. I emailed Keri from Accelerated Services and she said the car was in shippable status and has been assigned to...

    CT4V BW first oil change and tire FAIL

    Supposedly, the PS4S on the BWs are made specifically for the BWs with different construction and compounds. The off the shelf PS4S is different. Since the BWs are low volume, limited production cars in comparison to whatever else Cadillac dealers sell, it makes a lot of sense that they wouldn't...
