    Performance view on screen

    Having owned a 2020 Widebody Hellcat, I can tell you I rarely ever looked at the Performance Pages -- even when I was on the track, (I was too busy looking up to see what was coming bc things happen VERY quickly with 700HP on tap.) Most often, I looked at it to show people the "cool things" the...

    LED Side Markers

    I got a smoked tint overlay from eBay for $14. Had to cut to fit but easy to do with an Exacto.

    What did you trade?

    My Soul. But seriously -- Yes, my Soul. No, seriously -- I had plans on trading in my 2020 Dodge Charger Widebody Hellcat for the 5BW 6MT. But then I got my Corvette C8 HT Stingray come in & the used car prices were starting to drop. So, I traded in the Hellcat for the 'Vette. When my 5BW came...

    CT5-V Tracking 5BW Advice

    In 2001, I totalled my DD Miata at VIR. Was a total PITA getting a U-Haul truck and trailer on a Sunday in Danville. For many years after that, I couldn't afford a trailer and still chanced going to the track with my DD. But once I had the means, I always trailered bc things can and will go...

    CT5-V Tracking 5BW Advice

    Thanks to everyone for their very helpful input. I swapped out the brake fluid before the track day to DOT4. (Actually just a 3-session event.) I left the alignment alone. Got Track Day Ins for $480 with declared value of $84k with 10% deductible. Rented a U-Haul car hauler & used my F-150 to...

    CT5-V Tracking 5BW Advice

    My 5BW is a manual. Do I need to add 2 liters of tranny oil to it (like for a C8 Corvette) for track use? I thought that was only for the AT & not the MT. Not gonna mess with the alignment -- too much hassle. I'll just deal with understeering on corner entry. "Brake cooling parts"? What is it...

    CT5-V Tracking 5BW Advice

    Potentially attending a track event in a couple weeks at The Rock (the storied former NASCAR track in Rockingham, NC). Will be running the newly repaved roval. From my reading, the 5BW is pretty much "track ready" but my vehicle only has the steel brakes & stock brake pads. I'll be in Advanced...

    Blackwing emblem

    The kindly FedEx delivery person dropped this off today! I only wait ~1 month for it after completing the on-line form.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I like the concept of those floor mats. I had them for a time in a Miata but ended up ditching them bc they'd get too slick when wet. It made switching back and forth from the 3 pedals a little sketch. But YMMV.

    Hardwired Radar Detector

    I have the hardwiring installed for my V1 Gen2 as per this thread on my 5BW & I have one on my C8 as per a thread on that forum. No issues whatsoever.

    Windshield Wiper "Service Position"?

    ^^^^ That's what I've been doing. But I thought there was a better way, ala, my Genesis GV80. (See the linked vid from my original post.)

    Windshield Wiper "Service Position"?

    Thanks very much for looking this up!

    Windshield Wiper "Service Position"?

    Thanks -- The above works with the driver's side wiper. But the px side wiper arm is recessed beneath the hood so cannot be moved off the glass more than an inch.

    Windshield Wiper "Service Position"?

    On my Genesis GV80, when cleaning the windshield, I can put the wipers into Service Position after turning off the vehicle. Does the 4/5BW have this feature? I've been turning on the wipers & then timing it to turn off the vehicle to get the wipers in mid-wipe. I also hate that I can't pick up...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I've been in contact with sales associate, Ashley Seager, at Spring Mtn. She told me the dates in Oct are thus far tentative & one can't sign-up for them yet.

    Agreed. But it's the only one local to me Saturday.

    I'll be at the Carolina Exotic Car Show & Coffee tomorrow morning. Hoping to see some forum members there.

    Ok this requires its own thread - the cabin is TOO QUIET!

    If you don't oft use the backseat, keep them folded down and the exhaust note will be louder.
