    CT5-V Blackwing Performance Mods and Numbers

    GM charges a core for lots of stuff. Front splitters, wheels, you’d be surprised.

    Rear Diff Fluid

    The owners manual actually says do it AFTER the first track day.

    CT5-V 2024 Audi Rs6 Performance

    I have both a 5 BW & 2022 RS6. Wait for the BW. The rs6 isn’t worth paying 1/3 more. The air suspension is a bit more cushy & you clearly have more cargo space, but the BW is much better to drive. The rs6 is a luxury car that is fast & the BW is a fast car that is luxurious. Maintenance is flat...

    Thoughts on 2022 CT4V BW after long test drive

    New AMGs ride like a lumber wagon in comparison, at least the e class

    Vibration When Braking (Problem and Fix)

    Focus on getting on the gas (usually you’ll want to roll in and not mash it) as soon as possible in a corner and exiting with as much speed as you can rather than entering with as much speed as you can and braking as late as possible. You’ll be surprised how much time you pick up focusing on...

    Thoughts on 2022 CT4V BW after long test drive

    This. I ironically find the seats in my AMG to be the least comfortable lol.

    Thoughts on 2022 CT4V BW after long test drive

    I’m 6’4” and I think the upgraded seats in mine might be the best seats out of any vehicle I’ve ever owned.

    I’ve found the secret sauce (track pads)

    I mean I go through a half tank in a 20 minute session, so 12 sessions or 3-4 days

    Is it totaled?

    Yes yea I’m not sure it woulda helped there either. Would love to talk in person next time you’re out at HPT

    Is it totaled?

    I always keep mine in sport as sport will let the car slide some, but it still has stability control. Race 1/2 don’t. I’d suspect very few can run a faster time in one of the race modes vs sport. At spring mountain even the instructors run in sport mode during demo laps without the cars doing...

    PSA: Setting Expectations - Condition of your paint may disappoint you, but a paint correction/ceramic coat and a good detailer will fix your problem.

    Anyone done the enclosed trailer option and had better luck with the paint on arrival? For me it’d be another $2k option to add on

    Is there a way to always have rev match on?

    It looks that GM uses their own patent rather than the Nissan one. Other manufacturers can pay Nissan to use it but GM went another direction US20160377176A1 - Active rev-matching for manual transmissions - Google Patents

    Is there a way to always have rev match on?

    No. Supposedly another manufacturer (maybe Nissan?) had a patent on the rev match and to get around it the system can’t be on at startup. At least that’s what they said at spring mountain.it’s possible that fuel economy testing and emissions play a role too. I’m sure some sort of relay could...

    Blackwing down!

    I circled in yellow the wall that got hit. From an aerial it certainly doesn’t make a lot of sense for it to be there. I know there’s a decent amount of elevation change in that area so maybe they were protecting from rolling over. I’ll need to take a better look next time at the area. See...

    Blackwing down!

    That carousel you can take in the 60s Heartland park in Kansas

    Blackwing down!

    Yes. Not sure what happened. Never seen a car go off there especially that way. I’ve seen lots of other cars go off in several other spots that are common, but never there. It is coming out of a long carousel & best I can guess is they hit the gas too hard too early and the tail came out...

    Vibration When Braking (Problem and Fix)

    They tested over 20 compounds before arriving at the ones that are on the production car. We Drive the 668-HP 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, and It's Bombastic Fantastic It seems highly unlikely the bean counters had anything to do with the pads chosen. Have you priced them? You don’t make CCB...

    Vibration When Braking (Problem and Fix)

    100% stock cumulative 24 hours of testing not 24 hours straight. If you go to spring mountain they’ll tell you some interesting stories about them testing out different stuff fir the BW like various dive plan designs on the 4...

    Blackwing down!

    Happened right in front of me & caught it on video on my catalyst. Still has the temp tags on it too! They luckily walked away. Unclear if they had track insurance or not.
