    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    In the areas I frequently traverse in North Carolina, my V1 Gen 2 has saved my bacon so many times I cannot count. Very, very few law enforcement around here use laser or even instant on. I guess they get enough speeders with unmarked vehicles &/or speed traps as it is. I am very thankful the...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Spotted at the Morrisville C&C. Looks like it was from Wilmington. I wish we could get the canards on the 5BW. Make the car look so much more aggressive.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Changed it at ~1800 but have tracked the car a bunch of times without subsequent change. I guess I could have waited until 45k but I had the car up in the air to change the oil so it was easy to do it today.

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    I plan on being at the Morrisville C&C tomorrow. (It's actually in Durham, NC.) Will probably be there 8ish. Hope to be spotted & do some spotting! (But it's a HUGE venue.)

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Changed the oil/filter & the diff fluid (loooooong overdue). The diff fluid came out looking brand new.

    When Do You Change Your Oil?

    Coming up on 8% life for the oil on the Oil Life Indicator. Just curious when most people elect to change the oil & filter.

    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    There's an aftermarket solution for putting in a window on the tonneau -- Upper HTC Window | My Site Must add a clear engine cover (multiple sources for that) & then you'll have what the coupe offers OEM.

    "I've heard" you can really keep a pizza warm if you put it on the engine cover on the ride home from the store...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Got caught in the North Carolina snowstorm last night bc of a poker game. Had to drive home 60 miles through the white stuff. With the A/S Michelins, it was a non-event. I had to pass a bunch of cars on the highway & the only time it got sketchy was when an 18-wheeler roared by me & caused a...

    Anti-Theft - IGLA?

    Greetings from a former New Yorker! (Grew up in Rockland County & then lived on the Upper East Side across from Gracie Mansion.) I have the Soler Bluetooth Throttle Controller for my 5BW & C8 HTC Stingray. Besides having multiple maps for throttle control, it allows for turning off the throttle...

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    Have not experienced the Infotainment system not booting up. However, have had plenty of times when my phone would not connect with Android Auto to the car.

    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    Firstly, congratulations on putting so many miles on your 4BW. You obviously use it like it's meant to be. Kudos! I have a '23 5BW (delivered 1/2023) & '23 C8 Stingray HTC 2LT (delivered 9/2022). The C8 has MagnaRide, performance exhaust & GT2 seats. I couldn't get the Z51 package bc it was on...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    If you're looking at an Integra or M2/M3 as a comparo, then I think you should be looking at the 4BW instead of the 5BW. There are plenty of A/S tires available for the 4BW OE wheels.

    CT5-V Max tire size (diameter, width) you can put on stock 5BW suspension w/no rubbing?

    Yes. With the 325 on the 19, it would rub on the inside. The 6mm spacer brought it out enough so it would not.

    https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/absolute-dearth-of-all-season-tires-for-ct5-v-blackwing.5615/post-109453 I had to add 6mm spacers on the rears to avoid rubbing the inside wheel well liner.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Just back from the car wash. I've had her for almost exactly 2 years. Picked her up from Otto Cadillac in Albany, NY on 1/28/2023. Currently have 38,349 on the odo. I've loved every single mile.
