    HVAC Issues

    I picked up my 2024 4BW about 6 weeks ago. When I took delivery, I noticed that the AC was not working. The dealer found the system was slightly low on charge and topped it off. The AC has worked perfectly since then - until today. My wife and I were out running errands this afternoon...

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    Remember that gearboxes have a break-in period just like everything else in the chassis and driveline. A little bit of notchiness, or an overly strong return spring when new doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. If you notice something like this, I recommend you wait until you have 1000-ish...

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    My 4V BW is the second vehicle I've owned with a TR-6060 gearbox. I also owned a 2015 Chevy SS with the M6. Both vehicles were bought new. The gearbox in my SS was very good but could be notchy in second and third after a cold start when new. This got much better over time but I would still...

    Thank you for the info. I was using the correct key, but I'm not sure if I was using my profile in the vehicle. I'll check into it.

    I did change that setting to low prior to posting my comments. It did nothing to resolve the issue.

    New CT4 V Blackwing owner

    Factory fill for the 4V BW is Mobil1 5W-30. Any Dexos1 Gen3 approved oil brand is acceptable. My personal choice is Castrol Syntec.

    4BW Mileage

    That's really good! I've got about 850 miles on my stick car, and I'm in the high teens overall. I did a 250 mile round trip on State Routes two weeks ago (max speed 65-70 mph). Even with varying the RPM frequently, I got almost 24 mph on that trip.

    1 month update. I now have 850 miles on the car. Some observations: 1) Even though I knew this already based on my career as a Suspension Engineer, MagneRide Gen 4 is magical. Nothing else I've driven with similar handling capabilities rides anywhere near as good as the Blackwing. 2) This...

    Congrats on the purchase! The deal you described is fantastic. Good work! I bought mine two weeks ago and am thrilled with the car so far.

    Infrared Tintcoat

    Radiant Red on a sunny day vs. overcast. "Radiant" is an apt description of how the paint pops in the sun. The purple tint in the full sun side picture is the reflection of the blue sky on a red car, lol.

    New Owner of '24 4BW M6

    I picked up the car on Wednesday. The AC was just slightly low on charge. They topped it off and checked for leaks but found none. My drive home was 3 1/2 hours on a sunny 80 degree day. The AC worked flawlessly, and the car is absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to get through the break-in...

    You are all "Rational Heroes"

    Very entertaining video. I loved some of the comments: "Buick -- Died three weeks ago and still coasting to a stop" "Chrysler 200 - is that your credit score?" Hilarious!

    Agreed. I heard a noise in the bathroom one morning last week and found this. Boomer was kind enough to pose with his prey, lol.

    Thanks. It doesn't help that I don't like wine or distilled spirits, LOL.
