It's an automatic. Plus, those of us who never plan to sell the last of the great ICE supercharged V8 super sedans couldn't care less about resale.

Agreed. At least on the old screens, you had good sightlines through and to the sides of the steering wheel. This larger screen, while nice enough looking in pics, seems to have a lot of it's extra screen area bisected and tricected by the steering wheel obscuring vision on some of the screen...

Yep, also in for $20k off for a 4BW auto to match my 5BW manual.

Car nerd. :D :D I don't see the point of reading the manual because then you miss out on the fun of asking questions here on the forum and having people like you say, "RTFM!!" :D :D

The things we do for our Blackwings. :D :D My car #26 six-speed 5BW is in my 'permanent' collection along with my C6 ZR1. I'm not planning on ever getting rid of it unless it blows up on me or turns into a POS. So far, so awesome with 9k glorious miles over the past 2 years. It's worth...

You may be one of the only people who read the manual. :D

Congrats, you're going to love it! Make sure wheel is pointed straight when you nail the happy pedal in 1st, 2nd, and occasionally 3rd depending on road surface. :D

That’s a good point. A 4 and 5 BW does have a nice ring to it. :)

You will love a 5BW and it has zero to do with a '18 XT5. I just won the fastest time of everyone who ran COTA at the M track event in Austin this past weekend and I really enjoyed the new M2 on the autocross course and beating on the new M3 comp and M4 comp in lead-follow sessions on the 3.4...

Or just pay for your Dad to attend? Would be cheaper than 2 Blackwings. :D

What a crappy situation. I hope Joe gets good resolution soon! :(

It actually sold for $77k!

Cayenne S is a great ride, but I think you'll be very happy with a 5BW for a daily. As mentioned, with the proper attachment, a road bike is easy to haul with the 5BW. I'll answer your questions in order as best I can: 1. 21mpg is very easy to do if you stay under 90mph on the highway. I...

So, I'm coming on my two-year anniversary with my car #26. I don't daily drive it and use it somewhat sparingly as I want to keep it for a very long time. But, this weekend I had a chance to head up to Tulsa to visit my brother and his family, so I grabbed the key to the Blackwing and headed...

So, did OP ever get to drive a 5BW at full throttle with exhaust in tour mode?

I wished my Escalade V was slightly quieter (manic in V mode) and the 5BW louder in track mode. You will truly have minimal to no pops in tour and stealth mode. If one or two muffled slip through and it still bothers you, you just need to move on and maybe it is time for an EV that won't make...

Yeah! Because if you do, he will just spend $110k+ on a Model S Plaid that will be worth $80k in a 12-18 months!

It’s your car, so do what makes you feel comfortable. But, your engine is ready to rock and roll. Always warm to normal operating temp and have fun! These things aren’t fragile. :)

Okay, glad to hear that! How many miles or km do you have now? For what it’s worth, I only made it 500 miles before launch control. :). I also did some fully warmed engine highway pulls to redline through a gear or two in the 200-400 mile range. I didn’t buy this ‘23 GTS to baby it too much...

For proper break-in, you really need to vary load and rpm. If you’re always driving under 2k rpm during break-in, you are definitely doing your engine a disservice. The owners manual even states as such. Enjoy in good health!!
