    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Think this is the reason I added a sticky wide mirror on mine. For me, I just hate the idea of getting used to it, then it doesnt work one time and i clip a car.

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Always figured blindspot is now a NHTSA/DOT requirement for new cars. Weird theyd take something thats been common place and standard on most cars the last decade out. Is it possible that its something you gotta turn on in the settings? Is the outline for the car still in the mirror?

    CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

    V3s were notorious for it too. Somebody who made cradle lock out kits made a clip with a camera inside the wheel well that showed the deflection underload. You can see the arms bend and see the wheel shift to toe out. Thats what causes the rear end sway, even if alignment is good, its not...

    For anyone using wheel spacers...

    5-6mm is about max you want to run. There are hubcentric slip on spacers in Ebay cheap. But I've also used Ebay 15mm bolt on hubcentric spacers with no issue on my old 4BW.

    Anderson Composites Type-SV Double Sided Carbon Fiber Hood for 2024 CT5-V BW

    In my experience with the Anderson Composite ones, yes. Minimal adjustment, had the hood swapped out within 15-20 mins. I’ve had more expensive hood, like Carbon Creation on my old C6z, that fitted like absolute ass. And those cost more than these. I decided to paint the side just cuz it...

    M6 Auto Braking?

    Meh, thats pretty much every scenario with jackass drivers behind you. The issue is more if it trips and randomly brake when it shouldnt, ie: no traffic around you. Seen that happen on Hyundai and Honda groups im in for my other vehicles that are automatics, thats why im more curious if...

    New Member. Ordered a '25 BW (lots of Qs).

    That means it got picked up for a build. Once it goes into the 3000s, then its in production status and will be built the following month. As far as ordering CF parts, availability will be your first issue. Diffuser, rear spoilers are the same, sideskirts should be too but with the refresh...

    M6 Auto Braking?

    So it actually activated while set on notify only? Thats the part im asking about, if it actually apply for manuals. Always assumed that option was only for autos.

    M6 Auto Braking?

    Dash notification and seat vibrating is what I get. But im starting to think that is the setting.

    ct4v bw exhaust valve rattle

    No, thats the wastegate squeel. People have replaced turbos under warranty for it and it came back. My guess is the housing hole for the wastegate flap shaft isnt smoothly bored.

    FINALLY ! 2022 CT5-V Blackwing Production #'s , colors and transmissions

    Actually surprised that there's more DEF than Blaze, specially knowing DEF was only available to order for 1-1.5 month.

    M6 Auto Braking?

    Hmm, maybe thats the reason I never had it intervened, turned it off 2 years ago. We had a Palisade and an Odyssey now, the auto-braking feature always defaults to ON on restart so it gets old trying to turn it off. Surprised its not a case for these cars, specially after resetting power by...

    M6 Auto Braking?

    So somebody brought this up, which I never noticed, manuals have emergency auto-braking? Its listed in the sticker under Safety but curious if anybody actually experienced it intervene in a manual car. Never had it intervene so figured it wasnt a manual thing, only in the autos.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    They were for a while. The issue was their wait list got so long and they didnt want local buyers to wait too long. They figured those guys are potential repeat customers. When I jumped on, the list was over 120 people (I was #106 come DEC). Think they did that for about 8 months before they...

    FINALLY ! 2022 CT5-V Blackwing Production #'s , colors and transmissions

    Pretty much, 40-44% take on manuals. Also production has been steady about >1600 yearly build and not dropping like with the V3s. With the refresh, probably stay in that threshold. Cadillac pretty much said, theyll keep building them until demand tapers.

    Anderson Composites Type-SV Double Sided Carbon Fiber Hood for 2024 CT5-V BW

    The holes on the hinge are pretty large, made it a shit load easy to align this hood. Even then, its well built and barely had to really adjust it. Didnt even had to mess around with the latch to match up with the new striker. Just messed with bump bushing to even out the front edges of the...

    CT5-V Rear seat center seat belt

    No, the red center belts didnt become a thing until the 2024 20th Anniversary. Even the 120th Anniversaries from 2023 had black center belts. But funny that I looked up those PNs and GM couldnt be bothered to swap out a sub $100 part for the same color. :hb

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Sewell was getting at least 6-10 cars every week at the peak of delivery. Theres's a reason we dub Justin the Blackwing King.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Lucky, you'd be a handful of folks who actually have CF packages for 2023. Did you get the CF backed seats too? That year was also when Cadillac gave top tier seats without CF and gave people $2900 back. Went from unable to order top tier seats, to get top tier but no CF shells.
