If it sounds like static, and it gets worse as the volume of noise gets louder, then there's nothing that can be done with the recording equipment in the car. But I want the OP to explain what he's hearing.

What do you mean by "electronic noise"? Does it sounds like static, almost?

@poor-sha let me drive his 5BW for about 45 minutes one Saturday afternoon before I pulled the trigger on ordering mine. I was probably going to anyway, but that fun little rip sealed the deal.

The problem with that idea is that the CF version is robust enough to deal with high pressure and can create down force at speed. Anything that shape and made of plastic is going to deform horribly and likely cause problems with the car.

I assume you're going to attempt to mimic the OEM's "V" pattern in the front splitter with your aftermarket one?

I've always kept my OnStar subs on all of my GM vehicles, I just generally push for the lowest-end "Safety" one, whichever that is. I don't need help with navigation stuff, or any of the other silly add-ons. But the safety? Sign me up. One night, many, many moons ago, I got into an awful car...

How do we get on that tracker? DM you the order ## or something?

With the deflectors, it might be less of a "savings" thing and more of a "hey, you can actually ship them?" thing. They're currently on backorder everywhere with no availability estimates.

Thanks. That's an unfortunate waste of time and/or money. But it looks like I haven't much choice if I want those deflectors.

To follow on with my previous post, does anyone have a suggestion re: for the 5BW? GMPartsDirect won't let me order them because they're on backorder. GMPartsGiant accepted my order and then canceled it because of aforementioned backorder. Are there other retailers that will let you order...

Wow. I had to order the 5BW fender flares from GMPartsGiant because partsdirect had them as "back ordered" and wouldn't even let me put them on a list. Day later, the former canceled my order because they had no idea when they'd get the parts in. This is fun...

Ouch, that order hurt. I'm watching my GM card self-immolate in my hand.

Me on Summit Point over eight years ago, in my 2010 ZR1. Turn the volume way up. Listen to the engine stutter a bit as I start my turn-in to turn 10. BRRRRT. That misfire is the PTM doing its thing. If you're getting that on the road, then you're asking for trouble.

I know how the PTM modes are selected. I'm trying to understand what he thinks I meant by "activated" in my earlier post. I don't think he understands what I meant. Just for clarity: I want to know how he (or anyone else) knows that PTM is actually doing its thing while driving on the road...

And how do you activate it?

And how do you activate it?

Incorrect in this case. PTM has been available since the C6 ZR1 and its purpose is for use on the race track to help smooth torque delivery to the drive wheels. Nothing about its application has changed since its introduction. It has increased in performance (on the track) given the advances...

Let's be clear: there's no underrating of GM engines since they started SAE ratings back during the LS7 days. Chassis dynos are not good ways to calculate your flywheel HP. Never have been, never will be. Their only proper use is to baseline the car, then do mods, and get another readout...

For what it's worth and regardless of what the OM states: The engine isn't breaking in. The tolerances are fine from the factory and there's nothing "wearing in" in it. Nothing at all. The differential, on the other hand, is another story. That needs time to break in, and 500 miles is the...

I apologize for necro'ing this thread from September. Has anything been made public about this options as of yet? There's nothing on the Caddy website. Just curious if anyone's heard anything.
