    reasons I think (unfortunately) our Blackwing-5's won't be the 'collector cars' with huge resale over time some think.....

    People don't buy Gen1 Vipers because they made 400 hp stock. They buy them because they were a dying breed and what the car meant to enthusiast culture. No computer driver assists, 6 speed, and a NA V10. I think the 5BW with 6M is bound for a similar destiny (as mentioned with the manual wagon...

    Steering wheel data plate

    I've also purchased a custom carbon fiber steering wheel, with an electric blue top center stripe to match. I'm waiting for my car to be delivered. The wheel got to me back in October when my EDD was Halloween haha. I was looking for ways to get the data plate to transfer to that wheel, too.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    I can honestly say that i have no interest in doing business with any of the Seattle area dealers (to include Portland area). All seemed to be extremely unknowledgeable and wanted crazy ADMs. I ended up finding a great dealer in SC that was ordering at MSRP. Paying roughly $2500 for enclosed...

    Steering wheel data plate

    Trophy shop is a good idea. I'm weird and frame my window stickers and keep license plates. I'm trying to make something cool for my car and wanted something similar to what the collector series owners got.

    Steering wheel data plate

    Does anyone have any idea how I could go about getting another steering wheel data plate? I know the collector series memorabilia frames had what looks to be a spare one framed, for those who got that privilege. I'm probably chasing something unattainable, but never hurts to ask. Even if someone...

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    From the guy's FB page it looks like he is a machine shop in STL area. What I am interested to know is whether the "BLACWING" letters are CNC'd all the way out (i.e. if you had a blue car, are the letters now going to be blue) or are they actually white?

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    Seeing your weather keeps me hopeful for the summer. I forgot how it feels to have rain forecasted every day for weeks on end... What a perfect time to take delivery of my Blackwing!

    Not that i trust GMAuthority[less], but it makes specific point to note that the Blackwing will not receive any refresh.

    TUXMAT back in stock

    Now that you've had a couple more months, are these still a good option? would you consider putting these in your 5BW or do you use a different option there?

    What all-season (?) tires are those?

    Looking Ahead--2024 MY Watch / News

    This! Even with a $7k base mark-up, GM seems to have no problem selling the Blackwings, with many long waits still. I could also see how a price increase, leading to lower production, would assist GM in phasing out the car. If GM makes any changes to the platform (infotainment or computer...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Heat gun and fishing line to get the original lip off?

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Yep, they called me in February 2022 and say they were ready to submit my order. I was buying a house and the wife's Bronco at the time, and didn't want to add a third luxury purchase to my credit. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of the allocation, although my '22 spec was quite a bit...

    Well Goat family, after nearly 1 full year of waiting and 6 months out in the factory lot, she finally made it to the Dealer. 2023 5BW M6, 86-027. I cannot wait to go and pick it up (still yet to be decided how I will do this given I am in WA and car is in SC). Rob, could you please remove me...

    A new competition for us all: Post your average lifetime RPM

    I felt like this was missing a key piece of info so i used some data to do some more comparrison. I'd say the 10-speed does its job at keeping a lower RMP. Comparing Average MPH to Average RPM allows you to see driving styles. Lower RPM, Higher MPH would indicate highway driving. Higher RPM...
