    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    Firstly, congratulations on putting so many miles on your 4BW. You obviously use it like it's meant to be. Kudos! I have a '23 5BW (delivered 1/2023) & '23 C8 Stingray HTC 2LT (delivered 9/2022). The C8 has MagnaRide, performance exhaust & GT2 seats. I couldn't get the Z51 package bc it was on...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    If you're looking at an Integra or M2/M3 as a comparo, then I think you should be looking at the 4BW instead of the 5BW. There are plenty of A/S tires available for the 4BW OE wheels.

    CT5-V Max tire size (diameter, width) you can put on stock 5BW suspension w/no rubbing?

    Yes. With the 325 on the 19, it would rub on the inside. The 6mm spacer brought it out enough so it would not.

    https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/absolute-dearth-of-all-season-tires-for-ct5-v-blackwing.5615/post-109453 I had to add 6mm spacers on the rears to avoid rubbing the inside wheel well liner.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Just back from the car wash. I've had her for almost exactly 2 years. Picked her up from Otto Cadillac in Albany, NY on 1/28/2023. Currently have 38,349 on the odo. I've loved every single mile.

    Unfortunately, because of my work sked, I won't be able to make it out until the one in March.

    Decision Time, wouldn't mind the wisdom of the crowd

    The CF is an easy aftermarket add-on. The PDR can be added on later but at a MUCH higher cost & level of difficulty. All things being equal, I'd take the '24. Any warranty differences between to the 2 vehicles since the '24 is used?

    5BW burning oil

    I recently noticed I was 1 qt low. I'm at 25% oil life left. I know it was topped off correctly at the last oil change bc I personally know the dumbass tech very well since he also owns and drives the car. I was 1 qt low in between my last oil change as well.

    Cars & Coffee - Raleigh, NC on 12/22 @ 8am

    Met BimmerFan & one other forum member today. We all braved the cold to meet & greet. Unbeknownst to us, there were a few other 4/5 BW's showing up as well. Altogether, there were 6 of us -- 4 5BW & 2 4BW. We all agreed this is the most number of BW's we've ever seen in one place/C&C.

    Cars & Coffee - Raleigh, NC on 12/22 @ 8am

    I plan on being there tomorrow even though the temps are forecast to be in the low-30's. There might be one other person from this forum there. This C&C usually tends to be on the smaller side with only a few hundred or so cars in attendance. (Dunno how many will actually attend given the cold...

    You need to take that to the track. Those things are SUCH a hoot on a track! Even better -- a snow rally course!

    At those speeds, I'm too busy looking up & ahead to notice the hood much.

    CT5-V CT5-V BW Reliability/Maintenance Issues

    I've had my 5BW 6MT since Jan 2023 & now have >37k miles on her. When I had the OEM tires, I've had her at +170mph without issue. My 2020 Dodge Charger WB Hellcat felt more unstable at +160mph than the BW. I think it's bc the 5BW has slightly better aero even though I don't have any of the CF...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    They are horrible compared to? I currently have >37k miles on my 5BW that I bought new in Jan 2023. Therefore, I drive A LOT. Whatever trade off I have in the Michelin A/S vs the OEM tire is worth it to me because of all the rain I experience in the North Carolina Triangle area. The OEM tires...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    From the Michelin website: MICHELIN Pilot Sport A/S 4 325/30 ZR19 101(Y) ZP BSW MICHELIN Pilot Sport A/S 4 275/35 ZR19/XL 100Y I got their RF version on the rears because that's all they had at the time I needed new tires. I haven't had an issue with them. They are great in the rain as compared...
