    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing

    Looks great...sounds good. I can see installing these in my future. I'll probably want to hear more and see some reviews (and pricing) before deciding but I'm pleased with what i see and hear.

    What did you trade?

    GT350 is the only modern Mustang I lust for. I think its the pinnacle of Mustangs...even over the (fantastic GT500) if only due to MT....but what a great engine in the GT350. Still I see that its not a practical all around driving car as the 5BW will be. While not GT350 thrills in many respects...

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    I'm always warning folks who complain about the cold that it will soon be 90s and humid so to be thankful with what they got....what can you do?

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    I too have delayed putting my Apex wheels with the PS4s back on the car due to continuing colder weather/ It was in the upper 20s Tuesday night and still a bit cold...but I'm eyeing some days next week to finally do it...

    Never driven the Giulia but have long admired the car. If it came with MT its possible I might be driving one now. IMO - as great as the CT4VBW (and it is) - unless you absolutely have to have MT (like me) I think its a hard sell to switch as they are really so similar in many ways. But I'm one...

    Nissan Z

    LOL...I'm with you on the 4BW weight (but handles it well when pushed)..I've always thought the Z cars (300 and up) were too porky for what they were thus never had any interest. But I've come around a bit...they look great and MT...and everything else (but maybe Lotus & Miata) have caught up...

    Agree with all you say here. Cadillac did an amazing job with these cars IMO....considering that they're weighty modern cars....just about everything else (aside from limited rear seat room in the 4) they did right. My eldest son used to own an NA Miata and it was a hoot. He's planning to buy a...

    Came across this the other day and fully agree with the points this guy makes about what makes a car seem fast and fun. As much as I do enjoy the CT 4 V BW there are aspects to the car that feel somewhat muted to me....sound insulation, size is a bit larger then I prefer, seems slower than it...

    All that extreme offroad stuff looks really fun....your Caddy is going to be a total different kind of fun - enjoy! (but try to keep in on the pavement)....

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    This is a problem - scarcity of performance snows for these cars. It kind of sucks. Hopefully you can find some. Normally one goes narrower for snow tires...but not 100% necessary I don't think, Good luck!

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    While I agree with most all you say here..to me 75% is not 100%....and I really want 110%+....but thats just me. The Alpines are fantastic BTW I agree. But just the other day they came loose a bit in the cold on some twistiys. Of course i normally run in sport PTM so I could have reigned them...

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    OK I get it...one could manage with all seasons in non snow areas or if they have alternative transport for snow or cold conditions,,,,but IMO all seasons are a (generally unacceptable) compromise....in all seasons. I'm not aware of any all season tire that grips as well as our OEM PS4 tire in...

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    Depends on how you drive...but i think the hit could be a big one. I'm a big believer in snow tires for the winter (if the climate at all warrants it) and summer performance tires for spring summer & fall. As a Blackwing driver (or at least considering one) I would assume you value handling...

    Will My New CT4-V Blackwing Make Me Happy or Sad?

    I've never driven a Viper but I know that they are very special cars. So I imagine you will be sad giving it up....even if you don't drive it so much. But I think the CT 4 V Blackwing will surprise you WRT how good it is. Is it Viper fast? Probably not...but close enough in real world situations...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Exactly....super nice inside and out. Owner said the engine was a 400....I should have asked to see it. Car was so nice I forgot to take a pic of my BW which was 3 cars back behind him just out of my pictures. I knew there were folks here who would appreciate this car as i did.

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    Totally agree....and I have done the exact same - mounted the stock PS4s on (much lighter and great looking) Apex wheels and mounted Alpine snows on the stock wheels. Its a great setup that I highly recommend. The Alpine's are great driving tires for a snow tire in cold weather conditions and no...
