    Calling all Blackwings and V cars to Watkins Glen

    You're close, I'm over 6 hours away. Of course Audis are allowed. The more the merrier.

    Calling all Blackwings and V cars to Watkins Glen

    The annual HOD membership fee, plus 2 track days with an instructor will be around $1K. I'd suggest being on the track Fri & Sat, catching some passenger rides with others Sunday morning and starting your ride home by noonish. The instructors don't get paid, but they get to drive there cars...

    Calling all Blackwings and V cars to Watkins Glen

    It's a very family friendly environment. Babies in strollers, dogs on leashes and kids driving little electric cars around the paddocks. They want you to NOT leave your wives and girlfriends at home. They also want your wives and girlfriends out driving on the track.

    Calling all Blackwings and V cars to Watkins Glen

    You can camp for free in the paddock, or stay in a local hotel. Friday night they'll cook hamburgers and hotdogs and people hang out talking. Saturday night there's a pig roast and a band. Last weekend there was drift cars for passenger rides (the line was a hour and a half long), a huge car...

    Calling all Blackwings and V cars to Watkins Glen

    I was at Watkins Glen last weekend with Hooked On Driving and I was the only Cadillac there. Come on guys, we need some representation! There's another 3 day event at the Glen Oct 10-12. Is there any interest out there?

    Track Day Tires

    Yes, there's always another second to be gained by continued refinement, but I'm not looking to become a professional driver. I have limited funds to play with and want to wring the most excitement out of few track days I do. I'm looking for the "low lying fruit" to more speed. Since you are...

    Track Day Tires

    I can now confirm that 25/64-18's and 27/65-18's fit the CT4 Blackwing with no issues. I tried Michelin Porsche Cup N2's and for an as of yet unknown reason, they just didn't work. I was sliding around more than with stock tires

    Blackwing-spec PS4Ss heat cycle out long before wearing out?

    Here's one of the melting sessions.

    Blackwing-spec PS4Ss heat cycle out long before wearing out?

    125 of them of course. Our OEM tires are really good tires. Nobody can explain it, but the Porsche Cup N2 slicks I tried were horrible, I was sliding around everywhere on the track - very scary.

    Blackwing-spec PS4Ss heat cycle out long before wearing out?

    Is melting part of the heat cycling process? These new tires only have 125 miles on them.

    5BW for 4BW

    The JB4 device intercepts the signals from the sensors, alters them and sends the altered signals on to the ECU. Using the altered signals, the computer adjusts it's tuning, just as it does based on elevation and/or air temperature per it's factory programming. The ECU never receives a signal...

    5BW for 4BW

    For $580 you get the JB4 device which is a simple plug in item. You down load an app and select which tune/output level you want. You only use the top level tune with E85 or at least 93 octane. $350 get the Gigs throttle body, which is a stock part that has been reworked a bit. $150 for...

    5BW for 4BW

    I'd put deposits down for two 4BW's and one 5BW when I first heard about them. Waiting and waiting for a 5BW allocation, one of my 4BW spots became available. I'd been working on my brother to buy one to continue a little game we've played over life. He said he wasn't going to spend that much...

    Shopping for CT4VBW as a DD/Track car (Maryland)

    I know the stick is not for everyone, my brother went with the automatic. But: Auto is quicker in a drag race, but stick eats it on the track. Do you know the stick has some kind of "anti stall" feature where you don't need to give it gas when letting the clutch out? Computer will give it...

    Shopping for CT4VBW as a DD/Track car (Maryland)

    Wow, if I knew of that car being 25 or even 20K below sticker I'd have bought it to store one while I thrash on the other. I've got a Watkins Glen IMSA car. True there are no performance upgrades, but I wanted the carbon fiber options 1 and 2 but due to constraints it was not possible to get...

    CT4-V Track alignment for daily driving

    Remember, our TPC spec tires have a softer rubber than standard 4S tires. It's a blend of the 4S compound and the Cup 2 compound. With 2 degrees negative camber you will definitely wear out the inside in less that 15K miles. I had about 8K miles before going to -1.8 front and -1.4 rear. Then...

    Shopping for CT4VBW as a DD/Track car (Maryland)

    You should be able to get that Impact Edition for $10K under MSRP. A while ago Pepe Cadillac in White Plains NY was advertising one for $10K under MSRP. If you like the color, grab it!

    Here, watch one perform on the track against comparable cars. This is basically a box stock class.
