A bit out of my comfort zone on finances but dang that would be one bad ass mini-collection.

I know this is in the zone of "does it have gas?" when the car doesn't start, but did they check under the tray in the foam area where the funnel, tow hook, and related are stored?

It's not the most practical or even close to the "best" daily, but that isn't because of ride, NVH, or any other suffering it offers. IMHO its not a great daily because of the operational costs (brakes, tires, fuel, etc) and how the miles diminish the value of a somewhat special car. My '23...

If you watch the original savagegeese video they spend quite a bit of time talking about the CCB. The link below should start at the brake discussion. TL;DR - As Evil said, on a street only application the rotors should last the life of the car.

I don't have any other "fun" cars, just fun-ish versions of regular cars (like my retired FBI Crown Victoria, lol). I'm certain there are 1-2 others cars that I would love as much as the 5, like a GT3, but to me there isn't a more special front engine/rear drive car on the planet than the 5...

Pfff...here comes the 4BW Nimble Army. @668LT4 nailed it...everyone has a dream car that makes them smile, why do some of you feel compelled to stand on the street corner trying sell your personal decision to others? I can't fathom why @5VBW Nick put his BDT Carbon AF BW on a truck to me, but...

I think you might have unrealistic expectations for how this is going to go. If you're task oriented (or have a sense of entitlement) you're in for a rough ride. You can put an order in any Cadillac dealer, but most "orders" are unlikely to get served an allocation by GM. The dealers know...

I guess the only part I can disagree with is the premise that one needs to explore the limits to enjoy a car, especially if you're not a naturally talented/trained wheelman. Even though Miata isn't always the answer, it's highly capable of completely irresponsible speeds on public roads. Not...

I can assure you that the basic architecture of the new small block is designed to have a number of potential variants just like LS and LT did. Not saying there will be many variants, but 100% there will be the potential for HP versions along side whatever pedestrian version that goes in the...

With GM pumping the regenerative brakes on their EV program and the next generation small block in development, what I once thought extremely unlikely seems to be more plausible by the day; a 5th gen V/BW sedan? https://www.thedrive.com/news/gms-next-gen-small-block-v8-will-arrive-in-2027

It's all good bud! It's just one of those minor personal preference deals. Not to hyjack the thread, but I guess it is related with an informal poll: Would it increase or decrease the appeal of my original BW if I put the Corsa on it? Not which would bring more money necessarily, rather...

Yea it was totally drama free other than an initial dealer misunderstanding (for his Audi) but otherwise it was all good. Nick is a good dude and I think this place is largely made up of similar folk. Like I said in the other thread, it was one of those opportunity doors that was personally...

As Nick mentioned in his write up, even in tour mode the valves open depending on throttle position. My daily mode is "sport" and for me the volume is just too much. It's not a bad sound, its amazing, but it's definitely not a sleeper anymore. If you're one that is disappointed that you can't...

I have Nick's BW now and I must be getting old because the Corsa catback is too much noise for me. If there is someone in NorCal with OEM cat back that wants to work out a trade/sale please PM me. I have a truck and can take care of the transport.

She's been rehomed to Napa! The driver backing up on to that ramp suspended by chains from the upper deck was almost too much for me to watch. Having (2) 5BW in my garage has me elevated to new heights of contentment I never thought imaginable. It's going to be hard to let go of the OG 5...

This would give me pause if I was in the market for a Lotus Emira: Give me V8's or give me death!! https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-lotus-emiras-v6-cant-pass-emissions-so-it-may-get-a-v8-instead

Ctek is a very good product. I have converted to the complete Noco Genius line and on the 5BW I have use their direct mount on board battery charger. It's permanently mounted under hood (it's designed specifically for this) so while storing I just open the hood and plug in. Its a good time to...

LOL, Don...of course it prevents it from going "dead", that is PRECISELY the point of installing one on a car that is used infrequently. The more sophisticated ones do extend the life of the battery, but that is secondary to keeping the battery in a healthy state of charge and ready to go when...

101 NB near Cloverdale, 5/16. Saw this Rift with Bronze, guessing '22 model. Not a fan of white tones on cars but this is a really nice combo, particularly with the tint color tone (bronze)
