    How effective is LSD at keeping car straight?

    FYI - Sport in Competitive Mode is All Off, No PTM, full engine power. Select Sport then press ESC button 2x's. You will see message on dash.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Heads up on Jan/Feb Spring Mountain attendees. Double check your confirmation packet. Mine had the wrong class date and car.

    Though market adjustments were a thing of the past? Not in Florida

    Because it's a car people actually want to keep! Sure, maybe you bought it with the thought of flipping, but then you spend 5 minutes behind the wheel... :D

    CT5-V Blackwing - 771 whp on Pump Gas!

    While I respect a companies right to keep their hard developed info to themselves...if the lift is +.600 on stock valvetrain, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

    CT5-V Is PDR a option?

    Not the PDR. The 360 camera records anytime the car is running.

    Changing cabin air filter CT4-V Blackwing

    It's a 5 minute job. Drop the glove box all the way down (release on the sides) and remove the filter cover. I use the FRAM activated carbon one...

    Help! Suggestions Needed for Low Profile SA2020 Helmet

    I am 6'4" and had that problem when I was shopping for my 6th Gen Camaro. I wanted Stilo, but it was too tall. I found the Arai GP-J3 (open face) and Arai GP-6S M6 fit my head and the car perfectly. The BW5 is a little taller than the Camaro, so fitment hasn't been a problem.

    CT5-V 5BW OE wheel locks

    Even nicer little detail...both the regular and locking lug are 22mm. Nice not to have to grab another socket.

    Though market adjustments were a thing of the past? Not in Florida

    Let’s make sure Massey makes the ‘worst in Florida’ list. I contacted them about a BW5. Came in and met with sales manager, gave them my build from the website. Radio silence after that despite multiple phone calls, emails and drop ins. Amazingly, 7 months later (and 3 months before my car...

    Breaker bar or impact?

    Impact to remove (DeWalt 1/2” 20V spins them off easily). Hand tighten. Never start your lugs back on with an impact.

    Cadillac V-Club

    Buying a Blackwing from Sewell comes with a complimentary 1-year membership to the V-Club. My local chapter (Tampa) seems very active. For me, the best benefit so far has been the invitation to the technical talks held by Brembo, Mobil1 and V-Performance. Amazing hour-long sessions with open...

    E85 / Flex Fuel Sensor - Rant

    This has been a discussion item on the C7Z and ZL1 for years. There is a reason GM never made a S/C engine with FlexFuel. Just the required fueling upgrades would add $5k to the price.

    CT5-V Minimum Thickness of Steel Brake Rotors?

    From the CT5 Service Manual... After some particularly gnarly weekends on my other track cars, I would use a hone tool on the rotor to get rid of pad transfer. https://a.co/d/aSzexrk
