You got that right. A CT5-V BW with manual trans was the only car I was willing to trade my '17 M6 ZL1 in on. I had been looking for about a year and a half for 5BW but everything I found were autos. I received an email in early May from a local dealership that sells used high-end...

Is the cylinder deactivation just on the 10 spd autos? I've got the manual transmission and there is no cylinder deactivation that I'm aware of. I know the LT4 has all the hardware for cylinder deactivation but I assumed the 5-BW was like the Camaro ZL1 and it is not activated in the tune.

I have a M6 CT5-V BW and a 2021 C8 Stingray convertible. Guess which one I drive the most? You got it, it's the CT5-V BW. It's a hell of a lot more fun to drive than my C8. No way a C8 Stingray is going to beat a car with a 670 HP supercharged V8, manual transmission, and Cadillac luxury...

It kills me that these cold air intake manufacturers always dyno their open-air box intakes with the hood open and then blather about how great the gains are. I bet if you cut a hole in the lid of the stock air box and dyno'd that with the hood open you probably get similar gains. It's been my...

To tune the big tube is going to cost north of $2K once you pay to unlock the ECM, and buy credits and the HP Tuner dongle. And then you still have to pay for tuning and dyno time. Not worth it if all you're doing is a cold air intake. As part of a bigger build like a cam, headers, ported...

On the hunch that GM uses the same engine caps on the LT2 as the LT4, I purchased real carbon fiber engine cap covers for the C8 Stingray. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1NMQMSX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title My hunch was correct, the cap covers fit over the caps on my 5BW perfectly. They...

When you can, please add my 2023 CT5-V Blackwing to the registry. Ravine Black 6 spd Manual Carbon Fiber 1 & 2 packages Jet Black w/ Jet Black Accents w/ leather seating surfaces PDR Sunroof Satin Graphite wheels Red Calipers Torch Red Seat Belts P0860425

Yep, as sonny200 said they are the Satin Graphite OEM wheels. I do like the two-tone look. While the vinyl doesn't have the same clarity as paint and clearcoat, having the body gray is a heck of a lot easier to keep clean than an all black car.

I bought a used 2023 M6 5BW from a "high-end" pre-owned dealership in May. You know, the kind that mostly sells used cars above $50K. The car had 9700 miles on it. It still had 31 months of factory Bumper-to-bumper warranty left. Whoever owned the car before me gave it a two-toned look by...

You may be very disappointed with the LT6 in the 5BW versus the LT4. I spend a fair amount of time on the Corvette Forum since I own a C8 Stingray in addition to my 5BW. A member just traded in his C8 Z06 for a C8 Stingray. The reason was that he had to drive high into the rev range to...

It looks like the K&N intake is out. https://www.knfilters.com/63-3121-cold-air-intake-high-flow-roto-mold-tube-cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-v8-6-2l There's a limited-time $50 discount if purchased directly from K&N.

Is that the DSX lid?

Nope.

My 5BW is Raven Black with the CF 1 and 2 packages. A previous owner had the body wrapped in battleship gray vinyl. The top and trunk lid are not wrapped and the factory paint color. I think the CF looks great with Raven Black. I would at the least get the stage 1 CF. The bigger...

Here's my engine bay. No special lid but I did replace the plastic cover with a carbon fiber one from LightWurkz. I also applied Cerakote Trimcoat to all the plastic pieces.

I like the look of the vent in the center hood. However, the requirements for the heat shielding and hood pins are show stoppers for me. And as 668LT4 said, the paint strip between the hood and the grill pretty much forces you to paint the hood to make it look right. Really what we need is...

I'm looking for some ideas to dress up the engine bay on my 5BW. I would love to see what other members have done. So far I've applied Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat to all the plastic pieces and replaced the engine cover with a carbon fiber one. On the list of things to do is powder coating...

Yes, it would. I had the stock air box on my ZL1 skinned in carbon fiber. It turned out amazing although the cost to do it was pricey.

I bit and purchased the carbon fiber engine cover manufactured by LightWurkz for my CT5-V BW. Paragon Performance sells it for $499 but I found it $50 cheaper at Mont Motorsports. They only charged $10 to ship it by FedEx and it was shipped within 24 hrs of my order. The carbon fiber quality...

I just installed the smoked, amber LED side markers from Savage Cadillac. Boy, what a difference a small change like that can make to the appearance of the car.
