    Spring Mountain Impressions

    we've bailed on Hertz, Avis, etc. a few years ago. Download the TURO app - like an Airbnb for cars. You pick your price point (make sure you select the option for "drivers over 30") and the car.... everything from Corollas to Lambos. For a small fee, they bring the car to the airport for you (in...

    CT4-V My baby has bangs now

    I find that putting rev match on dramatically increases the pops on the off-throttle over-run. And the higher the revs on throttle lift-off, the louder the pops and bangs. I live near a long downhill off ramp and it will do it for a 1/4 mile

    Airbag emblem

    We have the monochromatic exterior badges. I wanted to paint the airbag emblem to match (so just painting the red/yellow/blue strips to grays and blacks, but everyone voted no - keep it as is.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    A "below" MSRP 5BW? It is at Dimmitt Cadillac in Clearwater FL. Auto, PDR, roof, bronze wheels. Below is in quotes as looks like they are merely not passing along the gas guzzler tax.

    V series Academy

    they rotate the groups every 30 minutes or so - do a driving exercise, then back to class, run a track session, back to class, then another exercise, class again, etc. It's 50/50 while in class... sometimes you leave the car off and windows down and other times they say leave them run. This is...

    V series Academy

    just go back last week - it was 101 to 105 and drove with the windows up, AC and seat ventilation on. Even with the head sock, helmet and hans device, was never uncomfortable

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    I belonged to Old York Road CC for many years (now in FL). Anyway, for those wondering about the used 5BW.... $99k for a 2023 and it's a manual https://www.audiwarrington.com/used/Cadillac/2023-Cadillac-CT5-warrington+pa-c57f485c0a0e0a9410ae358d05271c9b.htm

    Newbie question: no crackles/pops on CT5V BW?

    5 BW manual here. The mode matters, but so does rev match. If it's on, nearly every downshift results in extended cracks, pops and burbles. My wife hates it. Run without rev match on and the over-run sounds are near zero.

    Anyone Use the Michelin Coupon From Spring Mountain?

    our higher-mileage BW owners - how many miles are getting out of the OEM tires before needing to replace them? I am at 6,000 miles and they still look good (no track time)

    CT5-V 5BW humming/whirring noise - engine related

    5BW 6M, 6,000 miles here. We are experiencing something similar during highway cruising. Our description is a constant thrumming sound with the exhaust in it's quietest setting. At 80+ it really ramps up.... to the point where the wife is like I cannot road trip in this thing. And after an hour...

    Anyone switch from a V8 AMG to a CT5 Blackwing?

    the $2,500 could be less than the price increase

    Anyone switch from a V8 AMG to a CT5 Blackwing?

    ping Tony Saxon at Bergey's Cadillac in Plymouth Meeting, PA. They used to be Armen, who was family run, GREAT to work with and only sold at MSRP. Not sure about the new regime, but worth a call. Tell him JIm sent you - 22 White 5BW
