    New Mats

    I agree! They came with my car and I had low expectations- but after looking at the weathertechs and using mine I would also recommend them.

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    100%. According to Tire Rack, there are 7 brands with all seasons in this size combination. I went with the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06 Plus and have been pleased with them for colder weather. I still prefer the original equipment tires for summertime though. I had a 2019 GT350 and it had...

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    FWIW, I'm running Contis DWS 06+ all seasons and they work well. Cushy compared to the stock summer tires, though obviously not as sharp handling. Stock size (275/35) in front and 285/35 in back. The rear tires are a bit stretched on the OEM rims, but it looks OK.

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    You should be fine as long as you take it easy and leave the nannies on. I drove my 5BW in the dry and rain in the 30s this fall and it was no problem, but I didn't push it hard, especially before the tires warmed up. I use one of the tiles on the dash screen to monitor the tire pressures to see...

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

    I watched for this after seeing your post. My engine oil temp was 28 degrees when I started it after work today. Initial redline was 5000 RPM. Once the oil temperature got above 40 the redline started moving up in increments of 250. By the time the oil temperature hit 60 or thereabouts the...

    PSA Regarding CT5 Blackwing SD Cards for PDR and Surround Vision Recorder

    Update: The 2024 owner’s manual says the minimum recommended SD card specifications for the SVR are at least 64GB (and still V30 and formatted FAT32). I first tried a 256GB card and it did not work, but a 64GB card did. PDR requirements remain the same: exFAT, class 10 or better. It is...

    Leather vs Microfiber Steering Wheel and Shift Knob?

    Funny - when I was configuring what I would like I debated this. The wheel on my GT350 is alcantara and frankly I preferred the feel of the leather on my SS. Plus I am not that wild about the look of alcantara on control surfaces - elsewhere is fine. No doubt the alcantara is grippier but I...
