Yes they are. From the AWE website: Dyno-verified gains of +3 hp & +12 lb-ft of torque at the wheels FWIW, I'm not doubting them, I just want to see where it gains power/torque.

Can you share the dyno plot?

Blackwings have an idle timer and will shut off after about 10 minutes of idling.

I think it's his, but that car is a 997.1. ;)

Yes. The rattle was actually coming from a broken clip attaching the CF console cover/shifter surround to the car. The clip that was broken was forward and to the right of the shifter, below the CF. All this according to the dealership tech that fixed it under warranty.

So would ArgentWing! :p 997.2 S manuals are hard to find.

TBH, I like the sound of my 4BW better than my Porsche, but the Porsche as a total package is a great complimentary car to the daily driven BW. The Porsche is much more of an analog, mechanical feel and sound, which is good for the enthusiast soul.

You're right, let's blame the Boomers instead!

Exactly what a millennial would say. :p

Right there with you!

You all know the feeling when you have the best looking, cleanest car in the entire parking lot...

As much as I love my 4BW, the only car I would ever replace it with would be a 5BW. I suspect most 4BW owners would have gotten the 5 if they could afford it, I know I would have. Justifying one over the other is silly, they both have their (slightly different) advantages and disadvantages...

Well I'll be damned, I think you have just made the first convincing argument for the A10 that I have ever heard!

Bumping this because I'm curious to know how it turned out.

I was just about to say this. OP makes the exact same points as Jason Cammisa's review of the 5BW. Amazing car, but you only get 1, maybe 2 shifts before you are in lose-your-license territory. 4BW solves that to some extent.

Not reading the entire thread, that's a paddlin'.

33k miles on mine, still look new. I wipe them down with Meguiar's interior quick detailer about every 1-2 months. I am getting some wear on the driver's side left bolster, probably from my belt sliding against it getting in and out of the car, but that part is black, not grey.

I like to see that correct logic reigns in your house, i.e. the solution to too much Blackwing is, of course, More Blackwing. Remember, the backseat of your Blackwing is priceless. -LL Cool Yogurt
