    Cleaning this thing is a BITCH !!!

    I wouldn't use them for bugs, but supposedly you can use the synthetic clay towels to remove contaminants without damage to surfaces protected by ceramic coatings. But verify with the brand of towel you use.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    Watch out. The highway patrol has spoiler sniffing dogs now and you can get hard time for that.

    Looking for brake pad recommendations for track driving

    The owner's manual mentions this in the Track Events and Competitive Driving section starting on page 213...but no cross references from the tire section so it's easy to miss.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    A Tapout Purple Belt package can match the 5VBW output for a lot less than the cost difference of the two cars.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    I can't say that I feel my 4BW is lacking in low end torque. I think it's potentially a gearing issue for the manual compared to the automatic. There has been information out there on the gearing ratios between the two. But since the poster was using the auto, he'd probably really hate the manual.

    Is the CT4V Blackwing fun at legal-ish speeds

    Use the Auto Seat Exit Memory Recall if you aren't already. I use it because I can't open my car door very far in the garage, and the seat moved back makes getting out a lot easier. Should help make the bolsters less of a problem too.

    Software Updates

    God, I loved my 8-track player. No tape rewinding. Up to four songs available at the push of a button. Sometimes even get to hear two songs playing simultaneously. Audio technology at its finest!

    Carbon fiber PN database.

    Most of the online stores (really just dealers using online marketing) typically have significantly lower prices than retail. Not sure what the at cost values are, but you have to respect the shipping costs for these parts because they can be substantial.

    Media dumps

    It seems Hyundai management has their finger on the pulse of America's auto enthusiasts. https://www.motor1.com/news/765061/hyundai-says-nobody-wants-manual-gearboxes/ Automatics, electric, electric handbrakes and fake engine noise are the ticket to success.

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

    I'm over my head here, but Tapout has discussed these new systems and this thread has some good info Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results As I understand it, the cars do control the power output, but that is estimated based on sensor information, not a direct measurement. So...

    EOS Carbon Fiber

    I installed the Tapout rear spoiler on my 4 BW and it uses studs and nuts on the outer corner. It's difficult, but you can do it. I posted some information on doing it here: Carbon fiber PN database. I prefer using a nylon insert locknut on a stud versus the factory clip because the clip is...

    Crazy Dealership

    I love how they took a hand-built, hand-painted car and added dealer ceramic, anti-theft, and tinted windows 🙄

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    That red one is 6-sp, but on the other coast. The only option is the paint color. I was just checking to see how much inventory there was.

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    If you're looking for new there seem to be several out there. I ran a quick inventory search on cadillac.com and it came back with 82 within 500 miles of Ohio, including 11 2024s. A lot of those may be customer orders in transit, but I doubt the 2024s are. Here's a snapshot sorted price low to...

    Traded in my 4BW for a 5BW

    Maybe get some lightweight aftermarket wheels and put the Cup2s on those if you track it or just want to use them sparingly for fun. The stock wheels look nice but they are super heavy. Then get the TPC PS4s on the stock wheels. Of course, you'll need a third set of wheels if you want all...

    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    I've had my car up several times using this rubber disk off Amazon Amazon.com I don't have CF2 on my car, so it can just squeeze into the slot. Actually, I slip the rubber block into place and the plastic side trim holds it in place so I can slide the jack under it when it's in perfect position...
