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

    I had the same/similar Q & this was my answer: Just do it!

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    She's got 32,589 on the odo now. Changed the oil & oil filter Rotated the tires from one side to the other. Was pretty impressed with the even wear across the tread on both fronts & rears. They all seem to be wearing evenly. I thought baby might be needing a new pair of shoes soon but looks...

    Sidewall Bump.. (morphed into Transmission replacement)

    IIRC, the vehicle came with a tire warrany from Michelin. Look over all the paperwork provided by your dealer when you picked up the vehicle. Even if you don't have it, I'd still contact the dealer &/or Michelin about possible warranty coverage.

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Saw a dark gray 5BW on Holly Springs Rd in Raleigh/Cary just now. I was in my C8 with the top down going towards Cary.

    Excellent Mileage

    Typical commute to work from door-to-door. (I have 3 other job sites I have to commute to that are another 25 miles added from home. This is why I've got +32k miles on my 5BW!)

    CT5-V Rear seat center seat belt

    From the first day I got my MY23 5BW, I've had the center belt tucked away in the trunk & it does as yours -- sticks down approx 1.5 feet. It just dangles there behind the seat in the trunk. 32k miles later, no ill effects & I've never noticed it to make any noise.

    Excessive wear on front tires

    I've got 32,062 miles on my 5BW 6MT. 2 track days but otherwise mostly highway miles. The OEM Michelins are worn evenly front to back & side to side at all 4 corners. They are almost but not quite to the wear bars. I'm probably looking at a new pair of shoes in the next couple of months. I...

    Advice for prospective buyer

    They appear to be the OEM 19" wheels with Satin Graphite Dark Finish -- same ones I have on my 5BW. Was a $600 option when I built my vehicle.

    KEY FOB COLOR PEELING/CHIPPING OFF

    Too late for my keyfob. The 2nd one is pristine since it just sits in a drawer. (For those wanting to know, the whitish cylinder is a Tritium keychain attachment that glows so I can easily find the fob in the dark.)

    CT5-V Rear tire size

    Source for the spacers? Thinking about doing this bc needing to replace the OEM tires but with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

    How is the CT5V BW in mundane driving?

    Even on the most mundane trips like going to the grocery store, I've found my 5BW to be more engaging than it ought to be. She's comfortable & has all the amenities I want/need as well as the flexibility. The other day, I was out with Wifey running some errands & then decided on a last-minute...

    Cheap "Mod" Upper Trunk Liner

    It fits just fine but have to get the one for the CT5 (not CT4 from the original post).

    CT5-V 143 mph CT5 BW goes to the pokey while running from Smokey…

    I've heard a 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody is very stable at a buck seventy-four. The 5BW is just as stable at a buck seventy.

    CT5-V Rear speaker shelf rattles like crazy with bass

    ^^^ This! I have it as well. So, I just turn up the radio to drown that out & then I get the rear speaker/shelf rattles! 🤬 I can't win!

    Where can I get black side markers?

    Turn the wheel all the way in to give yourself room to work on the inside of the fender well. (ie, If working on the px side, turn the whelel all the way to the LEFT.) (at least on the 5BW), starting from the bottom of the fender liner, remove 4 of the screws holding the fender liner in. The...

    Where can I get black side markers?

    As you can see in the photos I posted, the color temp is near exact.

    Where can I get black side markers?

    Just installed mine for the 5BW. I had the blackout film on the sidemarker lights before so it still looks the same when the light is off. But clearly, it looks different & better (IMHO) when the light is on.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I understand the car alerts you if the blinker is left on bc I accidentally a friend of mine did that.

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Just saw my 5BW twin late this afternoon northbound on US1 just south of Sanford, NC. Even had almost the exact same plate as me but from TN. As far as I can tell, the only difference was their sunroof. (I don't have one.) Dunno if it was MT or auto, tho.

    Would you recommend this as a "family Corvette"?

    IMHO, the ONLY downside for this as a family vehicle is the lack of a spare tire. It's easily remedied by getting one of the spare tire kits from ModernSpare but it'll cut into your trunk space & then the ability to put a large stroller back there.
