    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Eddys dealer group can go fuck right off. I was looking for a manual Supra at some point and somehow ended up on their crosshairs. I told them manual only, new, and MSRP. They kept trying to push a used A91 MT on me for $77k. Crazy thing was that they weren’t even being transparent on whether...

    2024 CT4 & CT5 BW Order Guide available now

    So no notable changes on the 4. But I expect there will be the inevitable $1-3k price increase. Glad I decided to pick up a 23 instead.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Thanks for adding my order Rob. It was 4300 yesterday(5/11). In my impatience, I contacted Cadillac via chat this morning and asked for an updated status. Here's what the agent told me: 4200 Your vehicle is in transit. From this point, your dealer is in the best position to provide estimated...

    Blue or Bronze Accent Package

    These are the kinds of options Corvette owners that laminate spec sheets to put on their windshield at a C&C would pay for.

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    Ah darn. I saw a video from someone on this thread showing that he lifted from the rear via rear jack point which also lifts the front. I figured I could do that on both sides to get jackstands on the front pinch welds. Then use the rear subframe 'bar' to get the rear up and place jackstands on...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    Going back to my previous post, this is the rear subframe behind the rear diff I was referring to. Is it not physically possible to get a long, low profile jack to lift up from there? That would lift the rear which would easily allow you to place jackstands on the rear pinch weld/jack points at...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    I don't have my 4BW yet, but I'm also looking at how to get the car on jackstands for wheel changes, brake bleeds, etc. For the front, it looks like I would be able to lift via the front pinch weld with a slotted puck, and place a flat-heat jackstand on the unibody frame with the 2 large holes...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    So I decided to go with a 4BW dealer order that had similar options to what my build would have been. Add sunroof, subtract bronze wheels, remove midnight steel price, add red brake calipers. The rest of the options are the same. Faux suede high performance seats, and add tech package with PDR...

    I’ve found the secret sauce (track pads)

    What did you do with the brake pad sensors? Just zip tie them off to the side somewhere?

    Flip?

    Ordered it 3 whole years before it was even officially announced and 2 years before spy shots were leaked. Seems legit. I especially like the sob story about a divorce and large tax bill to drum up sympathy. If it's a flip, just say it's a flip. People already know he's BSing.

    Anyone want a $94k 4BW?

    There was a 5BW flogging it last Thursday on TNIA advanced group. They're stupid fast. But driver also got black flagged for trying to pass at a corner entry without a point by...

    Flip?

    I hope the seller loses money on this.

    GM Press Release: Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing Sedans Debut in ‘Forza Horizon 5’

    These 2 need to come to Gran Turismo 7 so I can drive them in VR with my sim rig.

    I’ve found the secret sauce (track pads)

    Thanks for these findings! I'm a Pagid RSL1/2/29 guy, but they don't make those pads for the ATS-V/4BW. Having a set of true endurance pads keeps costs way, way, way down since a set of endurance pads can last 10 or more events. I have experience with sintered metallic pads for cars in the form...

    Anyone want a $94k 4BW?

    I've also considered a 1SS LE, but I can't get behind the ugly interior and horrendous ergonomics. I thought journalists were BSing with the bad ergos on Camaros, but they were right. At least for me. Plus I feel that the 4BW is a no-nonsense motorsports-derived approach to the design and...

    Anyone want a $94k 4BW?

    Local dealer has a $92k Track Edition with the A10 on the way. It's going to sit. The other 2 or 3 4BWs they have are also A10s and are around $70k. They are sitting. They had a manual Track Edition for $85k which sat around for about a month and a half or two months before someone snatched it...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Sales guy just called. He told me that I'd be bumped to a 2024 now. Still 1st in line, waiting for the allocation. Anyone know when the next year's allocations are usually released? He said 'soon'. I haven't read of any rumors about the 2024 4BW having any changes, but what is inevitable is...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Sorry if I came across sounding stand-offish and pedantic. My original question was whether I'd be getting a 23 or 24 with how things are looking with GM in general, and then I just got derailed with allocations and GMWorkbench and deposits and other stuff. So I felt compelled to answer and...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Congratulations on your incredible luck and timing. Not everyone was and is as fortunate as you. But it seems like your fortunate position is blinding you from the realities us unlucky peasants have to deal with to get a Blackwing. I think the dealer decided to not put my order in to the...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    What the would you suggest I do? Join multiple goat rodeos and have thousands of dollars tied up? I like the car. But I also like not having thousands of dollars sitting in limbo waiting for an allocation. I don't have a choice but to trust that they do their job. Did you just walk in to a...
