    If the hood was carbon almost none of us would have received a Blackwing.

    I thought some publication did a top speed test and got to like 209.

    CT5-V C&D blew up their long term CT5-V BW

    Ouch, bad luck for GM happening on a press car. If I know anything about the press though, they were probably excited. More content and drama = more clicks.

    4 = CT4 BW 1 = 10 Speed Auto So you have the 488th CT4-V Blackwing with an auto, it does not mean the 488th overall (auto + manual combined)

    How 'under the radar' is your Blackwing?

    Here is what I posted in that thread that shall not be named: From memory I have had: 1 guy at gas station come over 1 guy come up to me at a parking lot wanting to check out the car (he didn't seem to know what exactly it was, but liked how it looked) 3 people at stop lights tell me I had a...

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    As of now the aftermarket one @Terrance Sig is doing sounds like its very close to OEM, but it will not (unless he changed his mind) have the herring bone pattern in the center.

    BLACKWING Font

    I downloaded the woff2 files they use for the CadillacGothic font on their web page and converted to TTF. You can use them for "inspiration."

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    So I owned 3 Lotus before this car. Lotus are super rare, especially where I live, and to your average person look exotic, so they always got a lot of attention. Sometimes to a point where it got annoying. Walking out to my car and people standing around it. People constantly asking how fast it...

    Honestly I was disappointed in the Emira (on paper of course, never drove one since they aren't out yet). The car is heavily based on the Evora, which is great. The Evora has one, if not the, best chassis for its class. Honestly, I really loved my Evora and would have kept it, but I just barely...

    Every car forum has the person or two that wants to make sure everyone knows their car isn't as good as they might think it is.

    I mean, honestly, based on the cost of each car the Cadillac should be last by a wide margin. The fact that its even close or in some of these comparisons actually is rated higher is actually quite impressive and somewhat embarrassing for BMW and MB IMO. I would take a 5BW + $40k (or $90k) in my...

    CT5-V BW Monochrome emblem

    Front emblem is super easy. If your fingers are small enough you can just stick one in through the grill and detach one of the clips holding and then push on it from the back with your finger. This will cause it to stick up enough from the front to get your other hand's finger's something to...

    CT5-V BW Monochrome emblem

    You do not need to remove the liner. Just use fishing line or dental floss to cut as much of the sticky pad and then slow tear the badge off (may want to heat it a little), may need a little force. This will break the the two guide clips off from the original badge and they will still be stuck...

    Honestly I think the Blackwings look good/great in all the colors available. It was pretty hard more me to pick which color I wanted, especially after seeing everyone's pics on here.

    Black Emblems

    You do not need to remove the liner. I had same concern, but another user told me you didn't need to and they were right. Just use fishing line or dental floss to cut as much of the sticky pad and then slow tear the badge off (may want to heat it a little), may need a little force. This will...

    PSA: Setting Expectations - Condition of your paint may disappoint you, but a paint correction/ceramic coat and a good detailer will fix your problem.

    :: knock on wood :: So far I haven't noticed any paint issues on mine. Granted I haven't looked over every square inch closely, but I have washed it quite a few times and haven't noticed any issues. Mine is infrared, which was the most expensive paint option (outside of the limited frost green)...

    PSA Regarding CT5 Blackwing SD Cards for PDR and Surround Vision Recorder

    32GB or smaller probably work out of the box because 32GB is the max efficiency size for FAT32. In reality FAT32 can go beyond that, but FAT32 is begins to become inefficient once you get beyond 32GB. basically its becomes slower to read/write than other file formats. However for a video...
