    Whipple charger install

    Someone who has experience installing these kits took time out of their day to give you their experience, tried to answer your questions, and you (for some reason that eludes me) got upset. I think the reason you keep having a bad experience on forums is closer to home than you might think.

    CT4-V Oil Catch Can??

    Don- I'd be interested in your thoughts between the Stinger and the 4BW.

    For those in the future stumbling across this thread via google or whatever search engine/LLM, this video has important information and visuals for those who may not be comfortable yanking on the edge of their bumpers:

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Cool down after a few hours of turning gas into noise. Almost didn't want to go home but the honeydo list is long. I did have a fun moment at the gas station. As I was leaving the store two guys were coming in: Guy1: "Dude that's a Blackwing." Guy2: "Yeah I know." Guy 1: "Daaaaaaam."

    New to forum and and new to Cadillac.

    Congrats and welcome! It is a special kind of torture to stay within the break-in limits (under 4.5k RPM, under 80mph). Do some searches here for additional PDI checks you should do or ask the dealer to do. Strongly consider front PPF and full ceramic (including and especially the wheels) by a...

    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    I just picked up my car after being at the detailer for a week and while it started up fine, it's telling me features are reduced to save power. I guess a battery tender is in my future.

    CT5BW Order- VIN 860574- Built May 8, 2025- Help w/ Shipping Expectations?

    Every estimate I was given was off. It's taking around two months for delivery after production. You may be on the shorter end of that being closer. Hopefully it doesn't have to do the truck->train->truck rodeo that most others have to.

    Brembo develops brakes with almost no brake dust and less wear

    💯. Red Barchetta was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not news from the future.

    Cadillac chatbot decoder ring?

    Yeah at best it says "congrats your car is built. Your dealer is the best source of information on the shipping process."

    5BW for 4BW

    Don't kid yourself that piggyback tunes are undetectable. The ECU records all sensor data that is outside of expected norms. If you come in with a drivetrain issue you can be sure they're going to look for signs of impossible acceleration compared to stock and other data that are dead giveaways...

    CT5-V Floor mats with red piping?

    Lloyd's now has just the Blackwing logo as an option if yours ever develop rapid onset holes or just plain disappear requiring a new order. ;)

    Would you be able to post a short video of the sequential lights?

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Just a follow up. Still no markup. No pressure on the add-ons. If you have specific instructions for the PDI, they will read and follow them. They seem to get a decent amount of 5BW allocations, but not a lot of 4BW.

    CT5-V Randomly Waking Up?

    You may try placing both your fobs in a faraday box or pouch just to eliminate that variable.

    Cadillac chatbot decoder ring?

    That's one status the chat bot will tell you about. After that through all the shipping steps it'll tell you to contact the dealer for status.

    Cadillac chatbot decoder ring?

    If you want the numeric status code you have to ask for a human advisor so they can pull up your order. A LOT of the status codes map to the same chatbot response so you have to ask a human. It's the same thing your dealer salesperson can do.

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    Just a couple nits to pick so far: The manual says opening just the rear windows can create a pulsing sound. I thought it would be annoying but whatever. Actually it's super loud. I don't know if the ANC system gets involved but it's definitely not something most could stand. I will need to get...

    MY2026 - What is the ordering process like?

    You put in an order with your dealer. It sits in the system until the dealer gets an allocation. At that time there may be options that are on "constraint." You either drop those options from your order or wait for the next allocation and hope the constraints are lifted. Check the GM order codes...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    First real drive after taking delivery yesterday. Hasn't been to the detailer yet so it's got all the dirt from Michigan and points East on it still. It is incredibly hard to stay within break in limits...
