    I’ll step up to the plate for this one. I don’t understand your opinion at all. I hope that every one who wants one has an opportunity to purchase. It means a bigger community of enthusiasts, more potential sales in the modding businesses, more spare parts available, more trained technicians...

    Every single one of his reviews poses a question that he never actually answers. Drives me nuts.

    CT4-V Blackwing Tuning Update from Tapout

    I dont think you can make that assumption. Steel is actually stronger than Titanium (other than some less common alloys of each), titanium is just significantly less dense. If your looking for an application where weight matters, like the rotational inertial response of the connecting rods or...

    Weird, im not a road & track member. My favorite lines: "it’s easily the most fun model in its class" "it starts out $12,000 cheaper than a new M3, and this is the better car" "But the real star is the chassis tuning. The CT4 embarrasses not only every car in its class, but also cars that cost...

    CT4-V Blackwing Tuning Update from Tapout

    That's a lot of boost. ~15 psia additional? Gotta be some E85 up in that tank. Crazy power gains though, nice work.

    We know the CT4 can run a 2:52.5 from the Cadillac test driver. The M3 comp is a monster. Its also within 700 bucks of the CT5 Blackwing, which ran a 2:49.4. I agree with Ungwei, that Mach 1 put down a stunning time, hats off to them.

    Supposedly the LF4 vs LT1 decision was a management one by Bob Ferguson back in the day. He believed that because the M3 had a TT6, the ATS V should follow the same winning formula. The small block would have fit into the ATS, made similar power and fuel economy, and isnt far off on weight...

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    There are mom and pop shops that could do the carbon fiber bits all across the country. Carbon fiber is no longer an exotic material. Baffles me that this is still a supply issue. Must be a legal thing.

    Carbon bits

    That’s a winning business idea. Similarly, do we know if the CF1 splitter uses different holes in the bumper?

    Glimpse into the Future

    Im putting my crystal ball guess in: JB4 style mod with E85 fuel, using a heavy timing adjustment starting at 3700 RPM before dialing boost up up at 4200 RPM.

    Cadillac Dealer Price Gouging

    We need to parse his words carefully. Selling cars lawfully and ethically does not prohibit dealerships from employing ADMs. Bribing politicians and exploiting capitalism is the shitty american way of life after all. Sports cars are not necessities, and your free to choose other options. I...
