    CT5-V Rear Tire Shortage - Acoustic Technology

    That's a good damn question. Probably only Michelin could answer this.

    CT5-V Rear Tire Shortage - Acoustic Technology

    I've been watching tirerack for a while now to see when the FRONT tires might come in, and so far nothing. A while back, I put in an order anyway, just to have my name higher on the list for when they actually do get a batch in. Tirerack calls me once a month or so to update that there is no...

    Sueded microfiber steering wheel

    I love the alcantara for track, and if you DO use gloves (I just use some Mechanix slip ons) it's almost like an NFL receiver using sticky gloves on a tackified football. I just use ONR detail spray, or Griots interior cleaner to dampen a towel and fluff up the alcantara every month or 2.

    Oil Changes

    It's a 45,000 mile interval, otherwise.

    Oil Changes

    The rear diff fluid is supposed to be changed after the first track day.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    There is no way in hell corporate GM is relaying this kind of info to the dealership. The people at the dealership probably started googling "LT4 engine failure," found this thread, and regurgitated this nonsense that was tongue in cheek.

    CT4-V How long can a 4BW sit?

    Other than the battery on newer cars, you can let the car sit for months without issue. The absolute worst thing you can do is start the car every few weeks and let it idle, then shut it down again. At the very least, you need to get the car up to temp and drive it for 15+ minutes at temp to let...

    CT4-V How long can a 4BW sit?

    Maybe an old school trickle charger would, I don't know. However, the newer CTEK and NOCO battery MAINTAINERS will actually extend the battery life. They do much more than just trickle charge, they actively maintain and cycle the battery to keep it good condition for a very long time.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Whatever it would take to lease the car at the time, or a comparable loaner, or a comparable rental. How I am financing my car is irrelevant to the situation. Although, it's probably all "goodwill" anyway if I were to read all of the warranty book (which I won't).

    New Blackwing Picture

    Nice. Optioned about the same as mine. My favorite thing about these wheels is that they don't look bad coated in brake dust, which happens within 100 miles of street driving. Also, not nearly as hard to clean as it might seem.

    LPO Options: Worth it?

    I would not add LPO options. Only because it could possibly cause a delivery delay (beyond the already delayed delay). It might not, but why risk it when you can get them just as easily through the dealer if you want.

    Standard CTEK eyelets.

    Battery Tender, cigarette adapter

    The red lead goes under the plastic cap to a post that's pretty obvious when you get in there. Take nut off, put eyelet lead on, put nut back on. The black lead goes to the grounding post circles. It comes right off. I used zip ties to tidy it up.

    chipped/cracked windshield, anything I need to know?

    All depends on how your insurance works, but I have replaced factory glass a few times recently (not the BW, yet). I always go to the dealer and order the OEM glass and have a good mobile installer come to my house to put it in. That way, you get the correct glass, and get it installed and let...

    Tapout's Flagship CT4-V Blackwing Tops 700 whp!

    https://www.tapouttuning.com/product/625-whp-to-675-whp-tapout-ct4-v-blackwing-brown-belt-package/ Looks like you just need to go through all the packages as they build upon each other. But, generally looks like you'll need upgraded turbos to do 700whp. Plus, Head studs, fueling, downpipes...

    Battery Tender, cigarette adapter

    For that exact reason (convenience to outlet location) I have mine mounted under the hood. It shouldn't matter functionally whether it's the jump points, battery, or cigarette lighter. Also, with AGM batteries, you are supposed to use the winter setting which is slightly higher voltage. 14.7V vs...

    Service Repair Manual?

    I installed an an amp and subwoofer, which apparently doesn't play nice with ANC. I asked the audio shop if we could try and keep the mics plugged in to see if ANC would work properly, and they said they've never seen one that worked. I don't really notice a difference...

    Personalized license plate

    I just realized I double posted this, but whatever, ha. Anyway, it's just corrected and ceramic coated as PPF is only on the front. I use P&S Beadmaker as a finishing drying aid, and I think that adds the most gloss.
