    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    lol, you can have mine. I’ve tried to use it multiple times, forcing myself to get used to it, and I just can’t. My eyes can’t focus fast enough, and even when they do the picture just isn’t as sharp as the actual mirror, hard to tell if a popo is creeping up from far back on the highway.

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    I “ruined it”? I’m not acting like a furious monkey flinging his feces around because he disagrees with another forum member. Ironically, if you do indeed have experience driving both the non PP and the PP variants, as an ENTHUSIAST you could civilly share info with us. Because, as you said...

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    Joyous? Yeah, I wouldn’t describe you that way. Seek help, dude. You’re amazingly fragile on this topic. It’s quite entertaining.

    Please: tell me all about your direct driving experiences with the package that has led you to your bold declarations. :ROFLMAO:, indeed!

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    Honestly, if I lived in SoCal, with the optimal driving conditions year-round and the canyons at ready access, I might have checked the V8V box. But I live in SE PA, with no intention to track the car. So the cost/benefit ratio just wasn't there for me. I went through the same internal debate...

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    Lol, talk about low self-esteem, dude. Maybe save some of your thick wallet for therapy. Or go rub one out. You are wound tight. Cup2Rs alone will transform the car. From grip to steering response. They also absolutely blow on wet pavement. Or in low temps. But you be you (which is actually...

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    Ironically, I opted for the CCBs, so I was already halfway to the PP price. I don’t regret the CCBs for one second. I love a clean car, and cleaning wheels always sucks. Regarding ride quality: reports from actual users of the PP package, who have owned 22-24 5BWs: the ride is harsher, even...

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    Deductive reasoning is like using a scalpel instead of a butter knife. I don’t need to recklessly spend money in a desperate attempt to force reality when using my brain already tells me everything I need to know. I didn’t check the box for the reasons above. It made zero sense, regardless of...

    Traded in my 4BW for a 5BW

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like Delaware Cadillac. Were you able to get them to waive their market adjustment? I couldn't stomach that upcharge ($10k for non-carbon?) and ended up using a different dealer.

    CT4-V Looking for photo help from a fellow 4BW owner

    I think you’re referring to the rod looking thing coming through a rubber looking thing in upper left of photo? That’s an exhaust post in its rubber hanger. Looks fine to me.

    Squeaking from unit above rear view

    Mine was doing that and I just manhandled it a bit, left/right/up/down, and it stopped doing it. Been a couple thousand miles now. Probably will start again on my ride home today now that I wrote this.

    Blown engine

    Not sure where I referred to the intercooler brick. I said engine cooling. Specifically radiator. Thermal reserve of the entire engine cooling package plays a role in tuning.

    Blown engine

    I've wondered if the engine cooling capacity is the variable that allows the LT4 to come in different power outputs. Taller radiator on the 5BW vs ZL1 allows for more power (via timing), and even taller radiator on the Escalade V allows for yet more power? 650-> 668-> 682.

    2025 CT5-V Blackwing LE MONSTRE EDITION & 2025 CT4-V Blackwing PETIT PATAUD EDITION

    Yeah, here for the promised apology. Disappointed.

    What were your must have options?

    Regardless of how many posts there are on this subject, I somehow missed the fact that the difference between the mid tier and top tier seats isn’t just the leather quality. The online configurator makes no mention about the carbon backs as only available with the semi-aniline leather upgrade...

    CT5-V Squeaking noise when pulling away from a stop or throttle at low RPM

    My 2025 MT 5BW makes a slight chirp noise, like from serp belt, sometimes at low speed engagement, especially when cold. Meant to post here to ask, now watching this thread.

    Auto vs. Manual

    Manual, because my daily 20 minute commute was boring with all the high powered German sedans I have owned. You can’t open them up legally, so what was the point. Driving my manual 5BW daily is so much more enjoyable. I still have a high power German automatic auto for highway road trips, where...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    I’m registered for the Nov 7-8 class, 5BW manual. Accommodations for nights of 6th and 7th were comped, as well as all meals except dinners. I’m going solo. I did decide to pay the $250 insurance fee to lower the deductible from $10k to $2k, figured that was worth the peace of mind since...

    Proximity Locking Questions

    I like it, thanks for the idea. This solves the issue when my backpack isn't in the car when in my garage and the damn thing is locked. I'd rather have manual control over the lock function.

    CT5-V Help me decide on color combo

    Typhoon plus Red calipers = Christmas time to my eyes. Maybe you want that.
