    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    I think expectations of safely driving in cold, wet weather (not necessarily snow), is not unreasonable. Again, this is a sedan with all the creature comforts (and weighing 4k lbs). It doesn’t really fit the form factor of a weekend toy.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Allocations either have no constraints or can come with specific constraints. In other words, when an allocation is issued by the factory, it can come with options constraints that limit what can be ordered by the dealer. Or they can be issued with no constraints at all and the car can be...

    My accepted order has CF2, which requires CF1, so probably not?

    Track rats rejoice!

    So maybe you get a $7-800 credit opting for the 4S vs 2R, that leaves about $8k that you’re paying for some software and control arm tweaks that won’t perform nearly as well as when running anything other than 2R tires. The 2R tires are the key ingredient to the handling portion of the V8V...

    From what I can see it is already at status 3400 with a Target Production Week of 1/13/2025. Drift with full carbon 2, red caliper CCB, some aftermarket bronze-ish wheels, slight lowering, and an exhaust, I think I’ll be happy for a while. Thanks.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I’m having a real hard time seeing that could be the case. I thought dealers had just a couple days max to use the allocation or lose it. That means they would have locked in my order almost 5 days before telling me. They didn’t even have my deposit on file anymore, and knew I was working with...

    Track rats rejoice!

    All the positive press reviews I’ve seen of cars with the PP have also had the Cup2R tires. Those tires alone will dramatically positively transform the handling of any car… in optimum conditions. And there lies the rub for me. There’s no way I can justify running 2R tires on the street, I’d...

    The order I just successfully placed is Drift.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Since the order was able to get accepted on a Wednesday, are you suggesting the dealer got an allocation the previous Thursday and somehow waited a day or so before they lost it, attached it to my pre-existing order, and that's when I finally saw it accepted? They couldn't have gotten an...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Man, I don't know what to believe. When I asked the forum why my order two months ago still hadn't been accepted after a week, the overwhelming response was because my dealer was lying to me and didn't have an allocation. Now you're saying that a dealer can have an allocation and submit an...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    So how do you explain the order being accepted by GM on a Wednesday, when it hadn't been accepted for the 2 months prior to that? I checked over a dozen times over the two months with the bot and it was always: order has not yet been accepted by GM. Then suddenly yesterday afternoon, a...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I dunno. About 2 months ago, my dealer “thought” they had an allocation. They put in my order, which is how I was able to get an order number, but after a full week it was still not picked up by GM. Everyone here at that time told me that meant my dealer *didn’t* have an allocation. The...

    So according to the bot, my order, without an allocation, just got picked up. Checking in with my dealer, they say a Jan build date. Wild ride.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Well, even if you don’t have an allocation, you’re right about still having access to one when your options open up, as Sewell gets a ton for sure. My local Caddy dealer equivalent of Sewell is doing basically 10% markups on CF1 cars and 15% on CF2 cars, so I refuse to deal with them. My...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    How are you able to have a 13 week old allocation with a constrained option? My understanding is that a car cannot be built with a constrained option, therefore the allocation needs to choose unconstrained options or it will be lost and given to another dealer. Allocations can’t stay open for...

    Prepare to pay hefty markups on MSRP from this dealer if you want either carbon fiber package…

    For what it’s worth, I was told allocations accepted today would be delivered in Feb. So maybe you’re closer than you think? G’luck.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Two allocations finally opened up for me today with my #1 color choice Drift, which has been super constrained…. but now Carbon 2 is constrained. Arrrrrgh. Hoping that’s not the new norm and just a function of production restarting, supply needing to catch back up. Rodeo continues.

    They can be ordered on BW. But not through most dealers. Seems only to be through larger BW dealers. I know of multiple 5BW orders in Typhoon and one in Drift that are at the 3000 stage. (Same with the V8V Precision Package, by the way)
