    Close race, but while that slotted the CT5 in at #13 on the U-drag leaderboard, I was shocked at #12 on the list🤯 https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/edmunds-u-drags.html

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    I like the graphite on black for a bit of contrast.

    Upgrading Base Seats

    Did you check the online service manual? It will have diagrams of the seat components (Master Electrical Component List - Component Locations - Document ID: 5752806, 5752805, 5752804, 5752803) and the wiring for the pin connections. That might give you an idea what's different between the two...

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    If you go Apex, watch for the sales. The July 4th sale just ended, but you can save a lot if you wait for the next one. I got mine on Black Friday, not sure if they have another between now and then. You can see the sale details in the other thread Apex Wheels | 4th of July Sale: Up to 25% off +...

    CT4 BW Bridgestone Potenza All Seasons?

    Check out the Tire Rack review of Falken Azenis FK460 A/S. I have them for my cold weather set. I only used them for about three months so far before I put the original summers back on, but I didn't push them when I had them on. I kind of doubt I will anyway when the temps are freezing or below...

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    I taught my wife in my restored '79 Trans Am WS6 400/4sp. It had enough low end torque she even started up a few times in 4th gear.

    Why choose a CT4 BW over a new BMW M3? Sincerely asking.

    That's because we don't HAVE to modify our car to achieve perfection 🤭

    2025 Fat A** BMW M5

    Getting off-topic here, and I don't want to come across as confrontational or anything, but I only had a stage 1 level tune on a 2009 GLI and I couldn't keep the front wheels from breaking loose from a start. I don't know how you can get much traction with 400 hp and I only had about 250-260...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    For fun I configured a 2025 4V the same as my '22. The Deep Space Metallic looks similar to my Shadow Metallic, but I imagine there are tint differences in real life. Anyway, it came out to $75,335 to my $72,090.

    Scraping

    Before my driveway got fixed at the street approach, and before I upgraded to the CF splitter, both my plastic splitters had underside scrapes even though the center underneath is lower. Those still protrude further and I had to make some crazy turning movements to minimize scraping on the drive...

    Yes they are.

    Yes they are.

    Bronze wheels at discount?

    Best bet I found is to google search the part number and you'll get a list of the dealers selling and prices. When I was looking for the polished standard wheels last Fall, the best price (with shipping - always check that!) was GMpartsgiant.com. My problem was they only had the fronts in stock...

    2025 Fat A** BMW M5

    Along with my emails from Cadillac wanting me to buy the newer year BW or SUV, I get ads from Chevrolet wanting me to buy a Corvette. This thread got me interested in seeing the weight difference of the Corvette E-Ray versus the base car. So per Car and Driver the base hardtop Corvette is 3647...

    If they put a bowtie on it, would it be a Camaro? 🤔

    Tapout CF base splitter

    Start reading about here: Carbon fiber PN database. and for several more pages. You'll see images of the parts and screws/clips. It's really similar for the full one piece splitter because it uses the same outer connectors, but also about 4-6 additional screws across the center which are really...

    Anyone rolling a Black Diamond Tricoat Blackwing yet?

    A couple Cadillacs among the Camaros in the officials' car area at the Detroit GP a couple weeks ago.
