    CT5-V Engine failure

    Isn't the ZL1 dry sump though vs. wet sump for the BW?

    2024 Refresh for CT5 BW?

    Just judging from pictures, functionally I don't think there's going to be a paradigm shift. I think it's mostly just the two screens fused into one housing, which with other megascreens is often just two screens linked together anyway. It may very well operate similarly to how they do now.

    2024 Refresh for CT5 BW?

    x2. I appreciate that the interface is quick, responsive, and reasonably easy to navigate. I'd take this kind of function over form ANY day, and I appreciate the hard buttons for HVAC and other items. In my old Civic Type R, waiting 20sec for the screen to boot up just so I can turn on the A/C...

    CT5-V Engine failure

    You mention ZL1 and Z06 failures at low miles - have there been more failures at higher miles, like 10k, 20k, 40k, 60k? Just wondering if it's something where if you make it past say 5k-10k miles, you should be good?

    2024 Refresh for CT5 BW?

    I just got my '23, so not eager to pay $9k in sales tax again for a mild update. However, if they make them through MY25 or MY26 I might pick one up to restart the odometer at 0 since that will truly be the last of the ICE manual super sedans. Based on the other updated Cadillac interiors, I do...

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    I'm at 2 weeks and 400 miles. Let's call this the initial pre-break-in list. Turning radius is pitiful. Constant annoyance when parking and maneuvering. Thank goodness for all the awesome cameras. No option for audible blind spot alert. Most cars make a sound or at least have that option, but...

    Engine power before 500 miles

    Sometimes they dumb things down so people don't get frustrated. Good example: My 2001 M5 was the first car with the super cool (at the time) variable redline that started at 4k rpm when cold and gradually opened up to the 7k redline as the engine got warm. Trouble is, they linked it to water...

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    Approaching 500 miles on mine (woohoo!!!) and am still unsure of when I should change the oil. 500 miles? 1,500 miles? Both? The owner's manual says neither but I plan on keeping this thing for a very long time so wondering what is best.

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    Nice Chrome Orange! Granted I've had my 5BW less than a week, but I really think I'll have the Elise and 5BW for at least 10 years. They complement each other so well, they're such great driver's cars, and nothing like them will be made ever again.

    CT5-V Blackwing wheel specs?

    Also, which stock wheels are we talking about here?

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    The day I confirmed my order for Xpel PPF, a friend posted a video on why Stek was a bit better. Seems like either is good, I wouldn't worry.

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    That is indeed awful. But $1k is simply too cheap for full front half PPF.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Took delivery today! Only got to drive it a few miles today but what a car!!! Incredibly excited, and it's already exceeded my expectations in many ways. My E39 M5 was my favorite car I've owned - I was hoping this would be much the same, but with 20+ years of improvements. That's exactly what...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    The sea deer population needs to be reined in somehow!

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    I am questioning what you were doing on a boat with all of your firearms...

    Did you pay over MSRP

    I always wondered how this type of negotiation works. Is it just you saying "no" over and over and over and over and over and over again until they give a sheepish, "ok fine"?

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Looks sweet! Where did you get the black badges incl. Blackwing badge?

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    I'm getting Xpel's PPF and Fusion ceramic applied to my new 5BW next week before it's delivered to me! I had not heard of Xpel's ceramic product before, but in researching it seems like a very good one. Looking forward to it as I have never had PPF (except my Lotus Elise's factory "Starshield"...
