    Long Island good shops

    Highly recommend Elite Motorsports in Lindenhurst ..they are experienced with LT4s and have worked on BWs including mine. They have a really good Hunter road force balancing machine. Avoid dealers 😁

    (Long) Cross shopped an RS7, M5, and CT5V Blackwing - I'm getting the Blackwing

    Yeah the Kw v3, Hotchkis sway bars and apr snub mounts made a huge difference on the A6...plus full Milltek exhaust ...car was a total sleeper 427 whp

    (Long) Cross shopped an RS7, M5, and CT5V Blackwing - I'm getting the Blackwing

    Lost interest in Audi after the B7 RS4 gen...I had a C5 A6 2.7T manual (same engine as the B5 S4)...had it modded to Stage 3 with aquamist W/M injection. Loved that gen...granted not as fun to drive stock vs BMWs of that gen but I had KW V3 and other suspension upgrades which made it fun to...

    What would you do?

    I had an ECS Novi 1500 supercharger kit with 100% methanol on my C5 Z06...put down 627 whp. Aside from a mild cam lope from outside you could never tell it was modified. I still had the stock titanium exhaust but with American Racing headers. Never know what's under the hood in these C5s.

    CT5-V Blackwing Extended Warranty Pricing

    My quote from him is literally double that ...22 5BW with 13,000 miles though ..this is for platinum with zero deductible...is extended warranty worth it when the car already has a 6yr/70k powertrain warranty?

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    I ordered my 22 5BW manual with CCBs and no sunroof. I had to drop the CF backed seats and CF1 and CF2 due to the constraints. I ended up with the mid tier suede backed buckets but added CF1 and most of CF2 (minus the rear diffuser) later. Shadow Grey Metallic listed in Rob's database here...

    Deal killer for getting ct5-v blackwing…winter set up?

    That's fine but no way I am risking the ps4s in 20 deg weather for 3 months here in NY. This is my DD, I actually drove it on 30 deg weather here once and it didn't feel good at all.

    Decision Time, wouldn't mind the wisdom of the crowd

    I thought warranty on these were 4yr/50,000 miles basic and 6 yr/70,000 miles powertrain

    Deal killer for getting ct5-v blackwing…winter set up?

    Yes I have used snow ice mode a couple of times..felt like the car lost 300 HP 😂. However the PTM + wet mode is for wet track driving.

    Deal killer for getting ct5-v blackwing…winter set up?

    The ps4s get rock hard under 40 deg F and could crack. I thought sport + PTM wet mode was for track use when wet.

    Deal killer for getting ct5-v blackwing…winter set up?

    Same square setup as @dribs15 from tire rack. I am in NY (LI) and this is my 3rd winter with this setup....no issues at all. It's pretty tight in the rear (paper thin space between the spokes and the calipers), but I did not want to do spacers. Specs on the wheels are 19 x 9 with 29 mm offset...

    Dealer finally fixed driver window noise. 11.5 hours of labor. 6 weeks in the shop. 120 road test miles.

    Wow great that this dealer came though! Was this the buzzing sound that people are heating at 55 to 60 mph?

    5BW Rear wheel liner missing screws?

    My 22 BW was missing those screws on the rear fender liner. I checked with @jwolf99 and his 22 had the screws. I had the dealer install new screws.

    Who needs coffee?

    I have exactly that square setup from tire rack on my Shadow 5VBW. It's real tight in the rear...clears the rear calipers by a hair.

    CT5-V Blackwing 6-sp (2022) surging during normal driving

    I had my surging issue "fixed" under the TSB like was mentioned earlier in this thread....just as an update it does not happen as often as it used to but it still happens occasionally unfortunately. I also noticed that when cold and driving at parking lot speeds under 2k rpm the car does not...

    Advice for prospective buyer

    Depends on which 911...if it's a GT3 then yes it can be a punishing daily (you wouldn't use that as a daily anyway), however the newer 911s have ride settings on the PASM that can be set in comfort mode for daily driving. I have an older 997.2 Turbo S and it's not bad at all in comfort mode (I...
