Much love.

In order: 1957 Chevy 1996 GMC Sierra (bagged) 1993 GMC Typhoon 1957 Chevy (again!) 1987 Buick Grand National 2013 Toyota Prius (lifted) 2013 Toyota Prius V 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

My backup plans were: New BMW M5, New BMW M5CS, New or Used 6.2L GMC Sierra Crew Cab +Supercharger, New or Used Bentley Bentayga (preferably hybrid), in that order. For 1.5 years I had a CT5-V Blackwing order in at two dealerships while staying consistent watching in-transit flow from...

Dirtier but not dirtiest.

Not the dirtiest from the 4500 delivery FL -> WA, but one of the best. More to come (when I feel like it.) :)

That’s pretty sweet and I admire all car culture, but no, more subtle. 🤣 My worst-case is me needing to get out of a situation, popping a tire if a curb’s hopped etc., and having the car on wheel only. So whatever might help there. It's sounding like 20” run-flats are it. 0.5-1” lift springs...

I saw they’re listed with a checkbox on a 2024 dealer spec sheet. It was a Sewell screenshot iirc. Maybe that doesn’t mean anything.

Has anyone put remote start on their manual transmission blackwings? Anyone know of an aftermarket or vehicle control unit hack solution? The setting to heat the steering wheel or heat/cool the seats based on initial temp is nice. Remote start would be better.

Has anyone spec’d and received OEM magnesium wheels from the factory yet? Pics, info?

More bang bang no lift without felony speeds would sure be fun though.

It worked Thanks! I will not back down it’s odd as hell and unexpected a phone disconnect button functions as mute/pause/play though. But I’m glad it does.

Thanks, I’ll try tomorrow. I’m often driving in the dark with backlighting dim. All light modules should color and dim the same on a luxury marque imo.. HUD vs. home/volume vs. lower button panel vs. upper onstar and sunroof panel all slightly different. Shame! Shame! ;) But seriously though...

The CT5BW is subtly bonkers. Short shift low RPM pulls 2-5K RPMs make the old school drag guys happy enough. It’s 4K+ shifting through gears where the bonkers comes in. Keep it from going sideways and it just pulls and pulls and pulls through the gears. Traction is def a problem. But you can...

Our 2024 CT5BW 6MT weighed 2050# front and 1950# rear (4000# total) at two separate scales. This was with 2 230# people in the front seats and a week of luggage. No clue how much gas we had either time though. 2022 CT5BW 6MT specs show 4123 #s est. so pretty close.

You can try the app Ampere for iOS or something similar for Android to find out. It seems low though. The wireless, USB, and USB-C ports all charge our phones very slowly. And sometimes USB or USB-C slow our phones when connected to CUE. Maybe it’s our iOS phones. Maybe not. Either way we treat...

There are screens in the pre-25 CT5 already - it’s just less obvious due to the separation and shrouding. Oversimplifying here, the 25+ have the screens smashed together with less jewel-work and shrouds. Less cost, commonization across models, arguably better stage set for HMI/software...

Also note on CT5BW with carbon fiber 2 (CF2), the parking package gives you only the video rearview mirror and cabin ionizer. You don’t get hands-free trunk release. And I found the video rearview doesn’t help much w/ the LH blind spot like others have mentioned.

Nice. Maybe we’ll see it at Daytona’s Rolex 24hr?

I noticed the same on the CT5BW. It felt like I was overdriving the headlights with brights on going 80MPH+ in TX and AZ.

Thanks for the post. The new colors are fun. I’m surprised black diamond and midnight steel colors went away. It looks like the upper and lower grill have more cooling area which is good. I thought there’d be a larger blower announced (e.g. Escalade-V) but 600hp+ is already bonkers on the...
