    CT4-V Some thoughts after test driving an auto 4-v blackwing, and asking for some advice regarding manual vs auto

    I am pretty sure the 4BW has hill hold assist like my 5BW 6sp. You will have no problem on hills. And manual. Manual. MANUAL! End of discussion. In all seriousness, the 4BW manual has better gearing than the tall 5BW gears. The Tremecs are such a pleasure to use in all situations. I...

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    Got it, thank you. I'm probably going to order the catback one day soon.

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    Thank you. Corsa historically has offered their exhausts in 2 volume levels - Sport (loud) and Xtreme (REALLY LOUD). I would prefer Sport personally.

    Can anyone tell by eye if my car looks stock height.

    Camaro SS 1LE 285/30/20 and 305/30/20 or Camaro ZL1 1LE 305/30/19 and 325/30/19?

    I think those tips look awesome! Really looking forward to pricing and availability. I hope they make a Sport version because I'm not sure I want an Xtreme.

    Can anyone tell by eye if my car looks stock height.

    Might want to measure from the center cap to the top of the fender lip, post your measurements, and us nerds can measure our stock cars and see if they match.

    Can anyone tell by eye if my car looks stock height.

    A little hard to tell since those wheels appear to be 20s?

    SRP Pedal Installation

    I installed the SRP throttle pedal only. Nothing to worry about since all of the wires are well above the pedal itself. Drill away!

    Blown Motor

    The symptoms you dexcribe certainly sound more electrical than mechanical. So no ugly sounds of metal on metal or anything when it was running?

    5BW - am I crazy for wanting more initial brake bite on the iron rotors?

    I can't imagine anyone being unhappy with the 2500s. As I stated in an earlier post, I have used the 2500s in several cars and have always been very pleased with them. Plus, the nice thing about pads is if you dont like them they are easy enough to replace.

    5BW - am I crazy for wanting more initial brake bite on the iron rotors?

    After about 500 miles, I can state that the Ferodo 2500 front pads are an excellent match for performance of the 5BW. The pads have more initial bite than OE without being grabby like AutoX hero pads (like the AX6) or the OE pads on my old Focus RS. Dust isn't completely crazy, either. I...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Did nearly 300 miles on a round trip today. Some pretty empty country roads. Lots of unmentionable fun. What an absolutely superb car in every single way.

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    There's at least one dyno comparison of blower lids on the 5BW and the factory one made the most hp so I'm not inclined to change it.

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    As I think I've mentioned elsewhere, I prefer the sound of straight through vs chambered mufflers. It's not that the 5BW doesn't already sound pretty darned good, but I know that a Corsa Sport catback would probably be about perfect. Now if we could only get just a little bit of blower whine...

    TC/Stabilitrak overly intrusive

    The reason I suggested lugging was because your description of the car jerking reminds me of times when I have accidentally driven a car (or motorcycle) at low enough revs to where it is bucking a little. The fact that it only happens in 2nd is curious. Are we sure it doesn't act like that at...
