Agreed. I have had PS4S on 3 different platforms now (Focus RS, 45 AMG, 4 BW) and it is a fantastic tire. The Cup 2’s are good for the track but downright dangerous for the street, it is essentially a slick on the outer half of the tire. I had them equipped from the factory on my RS and the car...

Great choice! I’m glad you are still living up to your user name. I also have a drop top GT, though mine is an ND2. The car isn’t quiet at highway speeds like the Blackwing which you will soon learn, only the exhaust is quiet. Good luck on your search for an axle back. After trying several...

They say in the video that they invite the winners from the previous year. That is how the 4 made it. It has been a 10 best winner every year since its release.

Is this your daily? Are your kids in car seats? I’m not sure how often you are driving with your kids and how young they are but if this is your only car that could get annoying fast. I have a hard enough time putting my kids (both in car seats) in the small backseat area of the BW I wouldn’t...

+1 for Heritage. I bought mine off their lot and Joe gave me a good deal and was really easy to work with. I also had a good experience with Erin P over at Patrick Cadillac in Schaumburg. I placed an order with her and she was great I was just too impatient to wait for the allocation. If I...

If you are referring to PPF, then maybe your are just really lucky dependent on where you drive or maybe you have a garage queen. Every vehicle I have owned PPF has been a must otherwise the front end gets decimated by rock chips and it looks horrible. The cost of PPF is $1,600 for the full...

Is it a stick? If so, you may want to check and make sure it shifts smoothly (other than some notchiness into 2nd). Most are fantastic but there were a few prior reports of bad Tremecs though I haven’t seen any recently.

I had a Nitrous Blue Focus RS. Very pretty color, like the Radiant Red, but I got sick of how “loud” it was. That won’t happen with a color like Silver. If I had the choice and I planned to keep the car long term, I would go silver. I think it looks really good on these Caddy’s.

Highly recommend. Mine sits outside on the side of the garage. The nice thing about the Miata is it’s so small it can quickly be cleaned. And it’s not like it’s a $100K Porsche so who cares if it sits outside. I also average 35mpg.

This all reads shady to me. Are you an authorized retailer or distributor? Are you an employee of this company? Have you even spoken to the supplier about your intent and got their blessing? It reads like you are trying to leverage an opportunity to earn yourself money because you did some...

I’ve had the opposite experience with Carvana and dealers on trade in. I want to say my Focus RS I was offered ~$25K from Carvana and Vroom and ultimately traded it in to Mercedes dealer for ~$33K. When I traded in my AMG I was offered $48K from Carvana and got $51K from Cadillac. Maybe it’s...

I would definitely recommend the Alpins in a 265 on the rear if you can get them. That was my 1st choice but nothing available, and had to settle for the X Ice in a square 255 setup. It’s not enough tire for the car. When driving spiritedly (without being full throttle) on the 255 X Ice, it’s...

Not to rain on your parade but unless you also calculated the return trip those numbers aren’t really a good indicator as you mentioned it’s mostly downhill. I drove 75 highway miles all flat at about 85mph and averaged 22-23mpg. The car impresses in many areas but fuel economy is not one of...

That’s a good point about the functionality already existing. I honestly don’t know enough to confirm one way or the other. You might be able to just call Cadillac parts dept and ask them and see what they say. My hunch is the seats will be too big to fit. The 4 BW has a somewhat cramped interior.

Does your heat work?

I think you will have difficulty with functionality if it fits. There is a post I started on here about upgrading the base 4 seats and another member upgraded to the top tier 4 seats and did not have ventilation or massage functional with the upgraded seats, which makes sense as this is not in...

Lots of aftermarket air intakes are designed like this. It’s only open (for eye candy) when the hood is open. When the hood is closed it should be designed so that it seals against the hood like a closed box.

I owned a Focus RS for 5 years, great car. If it’s truly just fear of wear/tear and not something else, why not invest in paint protection film and ceramic coating? That solves the rain and nicks/scratches dilemma. Just a thought as the money you invest there would probably be a wash or offset...

Do you have the 4 or 5?

Yes, this should be well within their wheelhouse, but call them to confirm. Hell they might even install the exhaust for you if you ask them. I had them powder coat a big brake kit for my Miata and they also installed it, which is way more difficult than an exhaust. They also did PPF on my...
