    Hope you have a Blackwing loaner or at least a V or Escalade. :D

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    Hey Jeff, we have a similar car background. I've had a ton of cars the past several years from the BRZ, Corolla GR, new Type S Integra, then on the other end an Escalade V, C6 ZR1, Ford Lightning, TRX, C8 Z51, Model S Plaid (new '24 I just got), etc. I've also driven the 4BW predecessor in...

    Attempted Theft in Austin

    Bunch of mouth breathing libtards in Austin that let the criminals run rampant. Sad state of affairs there. Sorry about your trouble, Brad.

    2025 M5 vs. 2025 CT5-V BW

    Yeah, you suck, 1evil55. :D :D Seriously, a V wagon with six-speed, a detuned LT7, and maybe AWD (weight for some traction) and people would be KICKING the doors down at Cadillac dealers nationwide.

    2025 M5 vs. 2025 CT5-V BW

    I don't deny being slightly interested in the new M5 wagon, but it's a FATTY and will feel very isolated. But, for running the kids to soccer practice and bombing to work on the highway, it'll be a machine. That said, keeping my 5BW forever.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    So, I had a '24 GR Corolla that I traded in for the '24 Type S. IF, and I mean IF, you don't need much interior or cargo room (i.e. kids and crap in the back), seriously consider the GR. It was MORE fun to drive around town than my Type S. That turbo triple, six-speed, AWD traction, bulldog...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I'm 47 with two younger boys so not retiring anytime soon unfortunately. So, I had a '24 Acura Integra Type S for many months to complement my 5BW, two Vettes, truck, and Acura. haha. So, that was the crux of the problem. I drive my truck during the week (work) and on the weekends, I had two...

    Should I buy a new one?

    Sounds like you answered your own question that there is really no compelling reason to upgrade besides the color and more factory warranty coverage. Hoping for a last year Blackwing hurrah with a slightly detuned LT7. hahahaha.

    Hope the engine is fine and the two truck company damage is fixed!

    It's been a year now

    I went through a '24 Corolla GR Premium to a '24 Integra Type S (just for the greater interior room to haul my wife and two kids) to selling the ITS all in the matter of a year. Honestly, both cars were very nice and very fun to drive. I actually enjoyed the GR a bit more for tossing around...

    I'm out, for now

    I was driving to work in my '23 Silverado with the 3.0 diesel this morning (awesome truck engine, btw!) and thinking about what a great engine it is, but I'd probably be driving the 6.2 if I didn't already have 3 at home in Corvettes and a Blackwing. :D :D I'll never not have at least one V8.

    CT4-V 15% off a brand new C8 or keep the CT4 blackwing

    So, I actually traded a '22 BRZ Limited six-speed manual for the '24 C8. For around town driving, the BRZ was actually more fun and engaging. The C8 is highly more capable and an incredibly engineered machine, But due to the very fact of it's high capabilities and high limits, the C8 isn't as...

    CT4-V 15% off a brand new C8 or keep the CT4 blackwing

    I have a '24 C8 stripper with basically just Z51. It's my track toy, but it's still fun to take the top off and cruise around town with one of my sons. You have to push it hard to feel the benefits over the Blackwings, namely turn-in, nice rev matched DCT downshifts and upshifts, feels...

    It's been a year now

    I've also been through a lot of vehicles the past several years (COVID FOMO, etc.). Two that will remain in my 'permanent' collection are my C6 ZR1 and '22 CT5VBW six-speed #26. The breadth of capability between comfort, performance, fun, and overall drivability are unmatched in the automotive...

    CT5-V Has your engine blown up yet?

    This is true, but you always need to know your powerband and how to extract it. I think the LT6 would add much more theater to the normal drive, even if you have to get the revs up. That would be the joy of the LT6, not that it's a better overall application to the LT4. I love the LT4 in my...

    CT5-V Has your engine blown up yet?

    I know something that would light a fire on Blackwing sales. Strap in the LT6 with a six-speed manual. I'd run over grandma's crossing the street to get to the dealer first to order that thing. Would keep my '22 though. :D :D :D

    CT5-V Has your engine blown up yet?

    I'm not as involved as I'm now in the 4th! year of ownership with my 5BW six-speed and it just works. I drive it on the weekends (work truck during the week) and it's just a joy to own and drive. No issues at all. Oil changes, tires, and go. Still one of the nicest cars I've ever driven and...

    Day trading for a career is very, very hard. I've had a few employees leave to do it and then have since come back to work for us. I wish Dustin the very best and hope he's one of the exceptions that keeps killing it day trading, but I also wouldn't mind if he decided to come back to Sewell...
