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

    Just removing that one metal plate will help with whine?

    Blown Motor

    That's a good point. Anecdotal evidence says they are much more prone to failure when activated. The M6 cars have DoD/AFM tuned out.

    Blown Motor

    There was a number of LT4s built in 2017 and 2018 that had faulty oil pumps. Some of those pump failures led to blown motors. I wonder if there has been another batch of oil pump issues? https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=532479

    Anyone Experience Issues with CCBs?

    I have CCB's. Haven't noticed anything like that. Have you had your alignment checked? It is sometimes off from the factory.

    Alarm goes off for no reason.

    IMHO, it's a relay attack. That's why they have such large antenna's and get close to the front room/kitchen/garage where the key fob might be sitting. They can also directly attack the CANbus in modern cars... the more computers there are...

    Brake ducts missing?

    The ducts are permanently attached for the CCBs. You have to remove the rubber debris deflector before track driving to get air across the ducts for the CCBs.

    Alarm goes off for no reason.

    Glad I’m not the only one. It’s happened to my car now 4 times in the last two months. Twice while in the locked garage. The message I am getting is ‘door/trunk/gate open’ even thought the car is locked and everything is closed. Coincidentally this only happened after my subscription to...

    For those of you that didn't have the chance to deal with Dustin/Sewell, an ancedote: About a month after I flew to Dallas to get mine, he reached out and asked how it was going. I told him I hadn't had as much time with it as I wanted since my mother-in-law had had a heart attack. He got all...

    Track Mode

    In Sport, when you enter Competitive Mode, you'll get a brief notice on the cluster, but the only on-going indication is the TC and ESC lights are on.

    Track Mode

    You can’t use PTM unless you are in Track mode. And you can change PTM modes while in Track.

    Pressure Washing

    When selecting a pressure washer for your cars, you want <=1,000psi. And usually around 2-2.5gpm Any more pressure and you are riding the edge of damage. At 1,500psi, you start blasting the coating/sealant off the paint. Above 2,500psi and you are removing clear coat. And FYI, psi and gpm are...

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    This may sound nuts... I had similar rattle...was 100% certain it was the top of the seat back or the head rest. Turned out it was the alcantara headliner that had come loose from a couple of clips right above the seat. Pressed them back into place and the rattle went away (and has not returned).

    CT5-V Must have for track alignments

    Did you just get the toe arms or also the eccentric lockout kit? I had both on my 1LE. Was happy with them.

    What is everyone's go-to wheel cleaner??

    Nothing but soap and water needed. Even after a track day. Takes me longer to clean out the bits of melted tire in the barrel than clean the wheel.
