    Engine Component

    I have a 2023 BW4 with the automatic. There is a round, chrome like connector that sits about in line with the red and blue part of the logo on the engine cover. This component rotates clockwise from about 0-90 degrees. There is a snap on rubber cap that has one "pin" in the center. Anyone...

    How long do you wait after starting the car to move it off?

    The car is always garaged. I usually let it idle for about 12sec (an arbitrary # of course) and it's about 1.5mi to the exit from our neighborhood then onto a 60MPH two lane. I'm very gentle with cars and I certainly don't use high RPMs when it's cold. Don

    Scraping

    I have the Atlanta Raceway IMSA special edition 4BW. There is a TX DOT drainage dip between our neighborhood and the busy two lane road. It was next to impossible to cross the dip w/o damaging the front of the splitter. And damaged it got. Finally gave up and cut the damaged section off about...

    How is the CT5V BW in mundane driving?

    I won't say the 4BW has a very roomy back seat but it's OK, particularly since we rarely have a back seat occupant. I'm 6' 2" and if I put the driver's seat where I like it (I don't like the so called Italian straight arm driving position), I have adequate room, knees in a normal position. Don

    1/4 Mile Times

    I know you build really fast cars. Sounds like a real world 1/4 mile time for a bone stock CTV-4 would be around 12.4? Don

    Rev Limiter

    If the rev limiter goes to 6500 how will 4500 trash the engine? If that were the case, there'd be endless engine replacements. Don

    Rev Limiter

    I'm pretty obsessive about car maintenance. On the way out of our neighborhood, left the mail boxes and to my irritation, the shifter went to manual not drive and quickly but briefly ramped up to 4500rpm on very light load (sharp downhill) conditions before I corrected it. Thanks for the...

    Rev Limiter

    Does anyone know at what RPM the computer cuts off fuel flow to the engine in the 4BW? Thanks, Don

    Interior Noises

    I have a Road Atlants edition 4BW. I'm very happy with the car, zeo mechanical issues. I do have a significant issue with plastic sounding squeaks in the interior. I've been all over the interior focusing on lose fasteners in the seat itself, nothing I can find that is lose. The noise does...

    K&N Dry Air Filters

    Thanks. My son is nagging me to "upgrade" the 4BW. I told him exactly what you said. If GM could get a 20HP bump on the EPA dyno for what K&N charges, it would be on production cars ASAP. Don

    K&N Dry Air Filters

    Does anyone have experience with these? Historically a lot of claims are made for simple "upgrades". Don

    4BW Mileage

    I'm at 3300 miles, 2700 miles past the dealer freebie at 680 miles. Starting to plan my next dealer change. My car has the Atlanta Road Race IMSA carbon fiber stuff. Since I have $2800 in GM Credit card bonus, I'll let the dealer do it and I can snack on delicious cookes a female employee...

    4BW Mileage

    Yep, 10 speed auto. Very nice transmission. The designers did a fine job, often the only way you know it has shifted is that the rpm drops. I drove sticks for 35 yrs, wife got tired of them. Have to admit, driving sticks in heavy traffic wasn't fun for me. Don

    4BW Mileage

    Last time I looked, at 600 miles, mileage averaged 23.2. Lots of short trips, no long trips. Pretty good for a car with its performance capabilities. Don

    Dogs/Pets

    We have a Russian Blue we got from a shelter. Wasn't taken care of, we got him well after a bunch of vet visits. I love him. Many people would be irritated to see him on the kitchen counter. But too bad, he's very fastidious about grooming and I'd bet we can't train him not to use the...

    Car& Driver Review

    And now we're learning that EVs have a very difficult time charging in cold weather and may damage their batteries by trying charge at low temps. Like you I'm not going EV. I am impressed with Tesla Plaid Ss doing 0-60 in 1.9 sec but little else. Don

    Car& Driver Review

    I'd bet that other than real car enthusiasts, most people who might ask "What is that?" have zero idea what the Blackwings are and their idea of Cadillacs are the old, floating boats. Don
