    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Maybe not a "regular parking spot", but it was a good spot for a few quick photos. Was happy to be able to actually drive it again yesterday, but of course it is snowing again this morning 🤬

    Only a few auto '25s I saw available. Easy to get manual with carbon brakes through.

    Man, I was driving with A/C on max and was sweating by end of track time 😄 I am coming from northern NY though. I am going for a quick cruise since the roads are clear here, but an inch of snow coming tomorrow 🤬

    CT4-V AWE-Tuning.com ready to make full exhaust kits

    Here I am considering installing my Corsa exhaust this week, but I don't think I can wait 6 months for a new exhaust to be developed. It would be ready just in time for me to put it away for winter again.

    DSX Lid Whine Results

    The porting of the supercharger probably resulted in a good bit of the extra wine that you were hearing, more so than removing the plates. What did you think about low end torque? My used 22 had a ported blower and throttle body when I bought it and I feel like my stock 24 has more torque down low.

    Did you name your Blackwing?

    I will start by saying that I have never named a car in my nearly 30 years of owning them. On the Cadillac app you can name the car, so I decided to do something that wasn't generic. If you did something similar, share your car's name and why you chose it. Name: Adamas Adamas is from ancient...

    Got 3rd in the Autox fast group, just 0.4 seconds behind 1st. Another round of track time would have been great because it was all starting to gel in my brain and I was getting more comfortable. Still got in the 1:22 range on the North loop of the track, could have easily taken another second...

    I just know they said it can get well over 100° here, but it certainly is dry. The humidity here during the day gets down to around 10 to 12%, my hands are already cracking and you definitely have to keep hydrated constantly.

    You're going to be so hot doing that time. Next week it's supposed to be 93° here, I can't imagine in the middle of summer. It was 75° here yesterday and I was sweating in the car doing aggressive driving on the track and I had the air conditioning and cooled seat on max 🥵

    We started out with the ABS training and it was cold and the car's hadn't been driven yet. My ceramics didn't really seem like they were ready to go on my first run through and they thought I hadn't smashed the pedal hard enough because it took a lot longer to stop than it should have. Once they...

    Just arrived and got checked in, looking forward to tomorrow! Drive from Vegas wasn't bad, very scenic in some areas.

    Correct valve position for Corsa installation…

    So it sounds like before doing the install it might be a good idea to have one of those cheap scan tools that someone posted earlier in this thread?
