Clutch and shifter are both great in both cars, both have great feel. Hard to say which is better, they both are the best manuals I've ever driven in terms of feel. I liked the 911 brake feel a bit more as well as the steering.
I've gone through 13 cars in 3 years. All my friends make jokes I won't keep the next vehicle for very long. I've had 3 cars I've only owned for a month each within that time.
My C7 Z06 has been in my possession for almost 5 years, the next closest car was 21 months.
I told everyone I would...
Bit of an old thread but I wanted to chime back in.
I test drove a '22 992 4 GTS manual the other day and just as you described I had the same thing. You have to feather the clutch on upshifts or apply a little bit of throttle to make a smooth upshift. If you don't the car will jerk if you...
Good old Torch Red, when the sun hits it just right it can look Orange.
My Z06 is in the same colour and its definitely a unique red compared to other manufacturers even though its been out for so long.
Nice to see it on other cars besides Corvette's.
They need to have sold one before. Selling a car guarantees they will be given another. If they have never received allocation for a Blackwing its possible they don't meet GMs requirements to get one, which means you won't get a vehicle.
You can easily ask them if they have sold one before so...
There's two questions you have to ask your dealer.
1. Have they received any 5BW allocations before?
2. What position in line are you?
If they have never received a Blackwing your chances are very very low at getting one. Likewise if they get one a year and your 5th in line you will probably...
Maybe the dealer will learn for next time they get allocation of a 5BW and nobody on the list to option the manual.
Generally I find the guy doing the ordering for the GM dealers doesn't really know much about trends for vehicles. They deal in trucks and crossovers, if they are lucky enough to...
The Dark Horse is overpriced, but so was the Mach 1. At least for the next 5 months the answer is "Camaro".
Now think about this, after the Camaro bows out at the beginning of 2024 the only new V8 manual vehicle you can buy is a Mustang or a Cadillac (someone please tell me I'm wrong). Now Ford...
Red cap is positive.
I clamp the negative of my tender onto the post thats on top of the driver side shock tower. Theres a lug+post sticking up.
The positive goes to the battery under the red cap.
Canada doesn't have a law for monroney stickers however I've never seen a new vehicle not have one here in Canada that wasn't the original one that came with the car.
If carbon is not available when you place your order you will not get carbon.
GM doesn't come back after you placed your order and tells you that you can now add it when your car isn't built. The spec you submit with the constraints on hand is what you get. So no Carbon means no Carbon.
You...
Velocity Red is Torch Red isn't it? You've probably seen it on a hundred Corvette's. Its very bright but in sun it also looks orange.
Cyber Yellow does indeed look like a gold mustard yellow. Its not "bright" but it definitely stands out, not my personal cup of tea but its one of those colours...
I'll need to see it.
I want green, not "green when it transitions".
Either way I have more hope than before. They offered a green on other Cadillac products called Emerald Lake that wasn't available to Blackwings and the Emerald Frost was a one year only colour.
I just want to realize a...
You most likely will want to call customer service and get this escalated.
Sometimes emailing the VPs and presidents of Cadillac will have the ball tossed down to the appropriate people to expedite you. The emails are found on the website.
As much as I assume its some crap the dealer installed, I'm leaning towards an issue with the intrusion alarm or the "power sounder". Given Mulignan hears the same sound.
If its done it every time you drive the car, I'd have the alarm system looked at.
Very mild update. I think I prefer the old one but this wouldn't stop me from getting a '25.
If there is a Blackwing refresh as well I expect it to be largely the same inside with the same giant screen but a slightly different front end.
These cars are known for having defects with Black paint (another reason I recommend getting something with colour).
Unfortunately it kind of is what it is. If you were more local to your selling dealer than maybe something could be worked on.
Since you will be driving it a lot and parking it...
