I'm not about to join the V-Club, but I will try to make it to this C&C.

I pretty much agree with you, my problem isn't so much GM (or anyone else) knowing where I am/what I am doing, my problem is GM profiting by selling that info to an insurance company who will then profit off of it by increasing my rates. That should be illegal unless I specifically opt in.

Well, I submitted my records request to LexisNexis, let's see how this goes. The next step is to opt-out via LexisNexis. https://optout.lexisnexis.com/ You can also call them: Submit Your Request by Phone As a consumer, you can choose to submit your request via phone. To submit a request via...

First off, let me state that I am the farthest thing from a tinfoil hat/conspiracy theorist..I am an engineer with two feet firmly planted in reality. But this recently popped up on one of the Blackwing Facebook groups and it stopped me in my tracks. Here is the quote: Ok so i’ve got a question...

Nice story! So we have to ask, as someone with your bona fides on the forum... in your retired professional opinion, what car on the market today has the best suspension system and why is it the Blackwing?

It works, but only with PTM-wet.

Well, it's slow now. Plate was a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Nice, this is one of the better V plates I've seen. I have something similar on order, but the delivery estimate is 8-10 weeks. :(

That's not true. Go try it, you'll see. Set your Vmode for whatever you want, and you can get PTM with, say, Tour exhaust and Sport steering.

You said PTM is only available in track. My point is that if you want PTM without the track settings, you can do it.

If you're like me (firstly, my condolences) you listen to The Carmudgeon Show, which is a podcast by Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott. It's a fantastic production where two very knowledable yet goofy guys talk about all sorts of auto-related topics. In this week's episode, they discuss...

You can get into PTM from any mode via the steering wheel toggle. The default PTM modes have Track settings for exhaust, suspension, steering, etc., but you can have PTM modes with any settings via V-mode double tap.

ITT: a lot of people who need to go to Spring Mountain. And read their owner's manuals.

Stay frosty, my friends.

You put all that work into the car just to sell it? :cry:

We get it. You know more than the engineers, and also everyone else. The people who actually know the decision process have said what you imagined above isn't true. But the kids love a good story, right? My imaginary story is that it is impossible to think that the 5BW exhaust note is JIMP...

It has been well established by the Blackwing engineers why the 4 has a V6 not a V8, and it wasn't the "MBA types" that made the decision. I suspect the difference between demand for the 4 and 5 is more related to their competition. At ~$65-80k, there are a lot of 6-cylinder sports cars with...

Good eye! 😲

My offer still stands. Drop it off here, I'll figure out what's up. The car may be returned with bald tires and no clutch, but I'll get 'er done. 👍
