    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Yeah I agree it’s a lot. I already went once with ATS-V auto and wanted to get the full experience of what I have a home, knowing that I won’t be as good with added shifting duties.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I’m close to my 1 year in December. How can I wait if my time expires? I heard they can get an extension or something through GM. Anybody now anything about that?

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Finally found a spot Oct 23-24. Booked airline, car and hotel. Then I get a call that they only have automatics for my date. I really wanted to experience the manual on the track as I live in IA so get little to no opportunity to open it up without jail time. I know I’ll be faster and easier to...

    .... C8 Z51 HTC -> CT4VB -> CT5VB

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

    🍿 for the 🤡 watching... Finally, some entertainment in this forum. Been too busy enjoying my 5BW manual. It's really a great car but it makes me sad every day since a Credit Union "owns it." But then I look at my cash making me money and I feel a lot better.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    Just my 2 cents but with the right tools this is much easier than you’re all making it to appear. The only hard thing is to reach the last nut as everyone has said. Keep things neat and clean. Get a magnet if you drop the nut in. Otherwise mine just fell out into the trunk eventually just driving.

    Brake Dust is Terrible!

    Ceramic coating my wheels has made it more manageable for me, especially with black wheels. It will get dirty, but it is easier to clean.

    CT5 BW Rev Match

    Same here. More importantly, have they created an update to keep Rev-Match setting on? This is seriously my biggest gripe with the car. Can someone create a tune or something for that? I know it's a simple button push, but it's annoying to have to remember to do it every time I start the car.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Put my stock tires back on. I got the car December 29th so have only been able to drive it on winter wheels/tires which were put on after PDR. Really excited to feel what the car is supposed to be like. I do have to say the winters did impress me. Picture shows the difference in thread and width...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    After reading this whole thread and struggling to find a shop that was available, I decided to just go ahead and DIY it in my garage. Like every other car I’ve worked on I used a hydraulic jack and a screw one for extra safety. All lifting was done on the pinch welds. Changed my tires back to...

    Trade for this?

    I sold my C8 to get my 5BW. All in all, it is the car I really wanted.

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    My dyno is indicating about 17 SoMP Horsepower increase since I put it on. Also the car feels more aerodynamic. Another unexpected benefit that I’m sure the engineers thought of was this really dialed in the front to back weight ratio. Who could’ve thought a few ounces would have such an impact...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    IT IS MOST DEFINITELY FRUSTRATING BUT WORTH THE WAIT!

    Brutal Winter Car

    Winter tires and drive year-round in Iowa. Fortunately for me in the metro area they do a pretty good job cleaning up and I can also work from some, so I didn't have to drive in much snow at all. I can't stand driving a boring car and can't justify two cars for the miles I drive.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    Can we tell where we are in the order list for delivery? I signed up early and paid just curious if you can share some of that info so we know what to expect.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    Can we start the 2024 thread already now that the very reliable source announced the refresh??

    The Eagle has landed

    Looks great. If I had to do it all over again, I might have ordered that color!

    Unwanted Rev Match

    Yeah I'm fine with that. The one that's odd to me is when my hand is even off the shifter. It just seems it looks at engine speed and other variables but not the fact that is in neutral without intention to get into gear. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but seems like a quirk or software bug to me.

    Unwanted Rev Match

    My only unwanted rev-match happens when I’m slowing down, breaking and/or coasting in neutral. Really weird. Seems like a really easy fixable bug in software. Same with the ability to leave rev match on. I really like the rev match feature for every day driving.
