    Did you do or are doing V academy

    If they build ~2,000 a year, I'd guess 1,000 slots per year is about right. Some folks buy it and don't know/don't care about it's track capabilities, some are too busy, some are collectors/garage queens, early-on there were flippers, etc. From a business perspective, better to need more seats...

    CT4-V Blkwng - "Your order ... has not officially been accepted by GM at this time."

    it means your order is at 1100 status.... your dealer has placed your order and GM has it, but your dealer does not have an allocation from GM to build your car. No allocation, no build. They get allocations on Thursdays and they must be confirmed by the dealer by Monday. In this window, your...

    General Advice for First Time 5BW Owners

    Roll on the throttle (not stab) and increase application speed and pressure as you get more comfortable and learn the car. And don't go to a party/BBQ, have 1 or 2 and go for joy ride to show your buddy your new loud and fast car. You can't hot dog it, "let me show you what she'll do!"...

    New Lyriq-V review

    Doesn't feel like an actual review as there are no driving impressions, states mostly facts and adds a few spins easily pulled from whatever GM shared. MotorAuthority dropped a similar release as well: 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V debuts with 615 hp for $79,990 This article mentions upgraded...

    CT5V BW Cold Start Exhaust Sound

    v-mode has to be pressed at each start up as the car does not remember this mode at shut down. If you set up mymode with track exhaust and shut the car off there, it will remember mymode settings at start up. there is a entire thread here on it I recall

    Video Recorder

    it can only record while driving if you have the performance data recorder option. If you don't track the car, it's good to have as it can monitor and record your drives (SD card slot near the parking brake). If you don't have it, the 360 camera records when someone approaches the car (the trunk...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    unique specs - both well equipped but with the base seats. I'm doing a Bueford T Justice in Smokey and the Bandit "oohmmmmm" on dealer stock getting CF!

    Used Value Trend

    that's my car. I got $78k for it back in late June. Garage queen, 11,000 miles in 2 years.... someone bought it and double that in 4-5 months. They added the rear wing and badges (I had it fully debadged and they put the trunk one in the wrong position). Great car for me - not a single issue...

    Gear whine (6 speed 5)

    Sold her a few months back. Not because of this issue/non issue that I never investigated, but just due to recently sailing our boat to Florida from Maryland and an RV on order. Our plan is to live 6 months on the boat and 6 months in the RV (on order) during hurricane season, so the BW just...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    congrats - you will have a blast. It was our (my wife drove as well) first time on a track and we are conservative (like there was never a question upgrading the insurance). If I had a few do-overs, it would be to push past my comfort zone a bit.... the car is WAY more capable than how pushed...

    2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

    100% agree with you and 1EVIL55 - CCBs next time. If I drive the car 3 or 4 times a month on nice days, she stays pretty clean (white, so very clean from 10 feet). Except for the wheels. The $9k would have totally been worth it to not have to clean the wheels separately, drag out the cleaning...

    Track rats rejoice!

    I have to assume they are not just handed out all at once at the beginning of the order cycle? They can drip out over the model year depending on factory balancing and individual dealer performance? precisely my understanding
