    I am not sure I love my 5BW

    I had a 2016 Chevy SS and my 4BW is certainly faster in every regard and gets better mileage. Wouldn't want to go back. In any event, an idot out of control driving his sisters beater of a Honda gave me a head on,totalling the car. Don

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Nothing! Two deer screamed out of the underbrush 3 days ago. I avoided one, the other hit our 2022 KiA Stinger GT1, Spiderwebbed passenger side window, rear view mirror sheared off, some dents. So, a USAA rental car. Letting the 4BW go w/lo adding miles until the Stinger is fixed. Don

    Scraping

    Our community exits onto a state road which requires drivers to cross over a concrete runoff dip. It was basically impossible to transit w/o some damage to the front splitter. Finally cut off about1 foot each side of the centerline of the splitter. Now, if I'm careful, I can exit w/o drama. Don

    Anyone installed the Anderson carbon fiber hood on their BW ?

    Is there any reason to get one other than possibly a pretty trivial weight loss? Don

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

    Our son was in BUDS (SEAL training) years back. He got a serious case of the shits from the TJ sewage. The beach where the students train is deep, soft sand. Wife and I've walked it many times, I'm retired Navy. So Mark pushed himself WAY too hard, collapsed. Had a temp of 107. Shipped off...

    Would suspect they're going to throw the book at you and your insurance company will extract vengeance. Your 4th of July present. Don

    Pad for right knee rest?

    In addition to our 4BW, we have a 2022 Kia Stinger GT1 twin turbo. Very nice though not as fast as the Blackwing. In any event, go over to the Stinger forum and one of the businesses sells nice pads for the right knee. I have one for the Stinger and it does a very good job. Don

    CT4-V CT4 V blackwing vs RS3 6 months later

    I was on the Board of Directors when all this went down. We tried to get TX DOT to improve the situation. We got nowhere. TX didn't want to upgrade the exit area as there had never been an accident there. An effort was made to add another westbound lane to allow a safer left hand turn into...

    CT4-V CT4 V blackwing vs RS3 6 months later

    A few hours ago, I spoke with the service manager at the local Cadillac dealer. He said there were other customers with the same issue of squeaking seats. Unfortunately, he had no solution. I'm not certain but think he said that only a framework is under the carbon fiber. There is a...

    I'll mention that to the service manager and see what his response is. So far, I think the dealership is a good one. Don
