    Excessive wear on front tires

    Should be able to get 15K out of them realistically with good alignment. Problem with these things are nobody ever does an alignment after breaking the car in. Honestly, do an alignment before 3K miles to make sure everything settled nicely. Its also not uncommon for these things to have...

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

    Honestly, not much. Stock hoods are aluminum and fairly light to begin with. More aesthetics since I doubt it helps with aerodynamics. One thing I noticed was, the car actually runs cooler when the vent closed. These hoods has a screwed in/removable water tray, taking that off actually ran...

    2025 CT5 BW Question

    just get a piece of black vinyl sheet, lay it over the light and cut it. It’s a cheap, easy solution until new lights comes out.

    2025 CT5 BW Question

    The original story was they had a main supplier that made 70-80% of the parts, then a couple smaller companies made smaller batches. The main large one went bankrupt due to not being able to get supplies back in late 2021. Company went under and the smaller companies could never keep up with...

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    It wasnt as constrained until going into spring time. The main manufacturer that made 70% of CF parts for the Blackwing folded in Nov 2021. There were 2-3 smaller companies that made batches but they couldnt make up the loss. Towards the end of MY22, what ever CF made was only allocated to...

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Look for 23s then, there were a few dealer ordered cars that only had CCBs and seats upgraded. Only crappy part is they’re usually ravens. Dealers for some reason typically order them in black for store stock.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Been doing that for over 2 years. Only time that belt comes out is when I need it for a car seat. 😆

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

    These hoods seem better built that any other CF hoods I’ve had on my other car. I’ve had Seibon on my 240sx and Carbon Creations (trash) on my old C6z. Never installed hood pins and never had any issue. I feel like the statement they make is more to cover their ass for just in case. I’ve hit...

    No Refresh for 2026 CT4-V Blackwing?

    Considering how poorly CT4s are selling in general, we didn’t think they were gonna continue with a MY25. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets axed for MY26. Chance of a refresh is slim to none honestly.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    If you want a car with more options, particularly CF parts and CCB, look into 2022s. Late 2022, all of 2023 and most of 2024, parts constraints were prevalent. CF was pretty on constraint the whole MY23. It was bad enough that there were month or two where no manual was available to be built.

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    Best part is it almost seems to happen when it starts raining in my situation. 🤣

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    Sounds about normal GM/Cadillac Goat Rodeo thing. It’s like what happened with the new paint colors. Oh you guys want the new new? We don’t have the paint in stock yet for the new model year. 🤣

    CT5-V Max tire size (diameter, width) you can put on stock 5BW suspension w/no rubbing?

    Yeah, look at the specs for contact patch/thread width in tirerack between the 2, you’ll see what I meant.

    CT5-V Max tire size (diameter, width) you can put on stock 5BW suspension w/no rubbing?

    No, I mean I wasn’t sure when I was ordering tires. So between the PS4 325 and ECS2 335, the ECS were narrower contact patch wise, so safer bet. Now that they’re mounted on the car, with about -1° of camber, I can see that I have more fender space to run wider tires. 325 PS4 are wider so I’ll...

    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    Nah man, I know the drive sucks even on the best days. I can only imagine how it is right now driving into San Fernando and LA basin with all the fires.

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    Ive had this happen to me once or twice. But usually after restarting the car, everything goes back to normal. What bugs me more when it happens is when my window suddenly doesnt wanna go up. One will randomly doesnt wanna go up but will go down. I thought maybe it was just my driver side...

    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    Bless your lil heart sir. You definitely need an auto with SUPERCRUISE!!! Surprised you havent done the californian thing and got a used Model 3 for less than $25K for that drive. I worked part time in HS at 6 flags, would used to take the back roads via Lake Hughes Rd or San Fransicquito...

    Used Value Trend

    Mid seats, sunroof, suede wheel/knob, bronze calipers, not much options on it, probably MSRP'd at low to mid $90s. Theyre asking too much for it for the current market.
