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

    The 4 BW manual has the hill assist on the clutch and it won’t let you move backwards on a hill. The manual version has ti rods so it spins up a bit faster. The ability to adjust the steering, suspension, brake feel, traction modes and exhaust make it and the 5 BW one of the most configurable...

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    Yes, I had a 991.2 C4S manual with PdCC and RAS, and sports suspension….top notch build but it was a bit boring to drive, just not thrilling. I’ve not driven a 992, but I’ve read it’s also going in that direction. GT3 is a totally different animal though. Do not get a 991.1 GT3 unless it’s got...

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    Sounds like cost is not an issue for you, but getting a Porsche serviced at the dealership can get pricey and they need service often. Every three years it’s new plugs for example. I suggest you look up the service schedule and you might as well buy the service ahead of time, up to 5 years which...

    Introducing: The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition & 2025 CT4-V Blackwing Petit Pataud Edition

    Who the hell wants to own an American V8 car with some snotty petulant French name attached to it.

    TC/Stabilitrak overly intrusive

    Why not use 1st gear when “driving down the road”? Note that the 4 BW manual has titanium rods, that helps the engine spin up quickly but also carrys less momentum. On those sharp low speed turns use 1st gear, it’s ok.

    Wheel Repair Fail

    Yes, I don't buy the rather pricey wheel and tire "warranty"....way too many stories on how the dealership brings in some dude...wo attempts to "fix" it....and fails. The sales guy also gets rated on how many people they can con into buying it....that and the interior "protection" package....

    Wheel Repair Fail

    Sharpies are all powerful.......they can even direct hurricanes. But yea, I'd push for a whole new wheel. Thats why I never buy these wheel packages....it's a huge money maker for the dealership and they never want to replace a wheel.....they just want to do some poor ass repair of it. Get a new...

    Site Update: Official Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing Registry

    I don’t think the production number for 23 or 24 are out yet.

    Octane ratings

    True but with a wideband sensor you can see a bigger voltage range and fine tune the AF ratio, and lean it out till you almost get to the point detonation by advancing the timing, which is what you do with race gas.

    Unless it has a wideband sensor and can advance the timing running race gas won’t do much.

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    It’s there, but it’s small. Right about the middle of the dial that shows the gear and the rpm/speed you can see a smallish icon that changes it shape as you change the mode setting. For example in my mode it will show an icon of a head, the other modes show other icons. Look at the dash and...

    2nd update on my Leaking Blacking

    Another reason not to get sunroof. The drains can get clogged up, the drains can leak or the drain tube can not be properly affixed. And they can rattle or whistle at speed. Don’t get sunroofs or the big giant open one either.

    Need help with CT5V BW vibration

    Same here. I like to stay at 3K most of the time to keep the turbos spooled up, and only use 6th gear when I’m above 100.
