Fade/Balance -> 4 clicks rearward I think this is the secret sauce as it lets more bass come through

Here’s the concept. I have the lights. No hurry to install w/ race season coming up.

MY24 here also in the PNW. Same complaint especially in the rain. Unrelated, no rear window wiper is also a disappointment. I'm planning on auxiliary lights. Light bar and pods. Haven't gotten around to the install yet.

This hits hard.

I named my CT5-V Blackwing Mercedes.

What are you up to w/ the catch can? Is there visible oil when you pull the supercharger cover? I looked into doing this several months ago and found posts where Mirza and co. stated the CT5-V LT4 had an integrated catch can (recirculator really) that works well. Ref: Catch can for the LT4

I use three hand baskets from grocery stores. They fit in the CT5 trunk perfectly for moving things to/from and around considering my grocery store(s) are consistent. Or use hippy granola bags. Don't overcomplicate life. ;)

Sustained 100MPH on Louisiana/Texas flat (which means FLAT) is ~15-18MPG. Err, wait .. I mean in Mexico. That's the only reason I know. :)

How does fuel work for this event? a CT5 Blackwing will last ~3X 20 minute sessions track driving until empty.

I always use Red Hot Chili Peppers - Behind the Sun to tune stereo systems I've built or set up. My settings are: Audio -> Sound Equalizer -> +11 bass, +0 Midrange, +1 Treble, +5 Surround I'll sometimes change it to +8 bass or lower for highly-produced hip hop. Fade/Balance -> 4 clicks...

Is that bc the knob’s where the shifter is I assume? Interesting. I use knob vs. steering wheel controls 50/50 w/ kids. Knob to go up/down rapidly and steering wheel controls for small vol changes. I hadn’t thought about this much until now..

What’s the deleted volume knob reference? Curious to get more info on the manual transmission blind spot omission and volume knob deletion 2025+.. I’d like to see why/how just manuals.

5th gear should be slightly shorter for track use, then perfect in every way.

Hmm.. I really like heavy, fast cars. Odd man out here but I think BMW has done well with these cars. They feel really good cruising with that much power and that much weight. Even if heavy, it's still tossable on the track. I almost bought an M5CS vs. the Blackwing last year. It was the manual...

Yes, CT5. At ~80 MPH or accelerating hard the lights get overdriven to me.

I can no longer edit my post or reply to it .. Here are two more bummers: I wish it had a rear window wiper - it's always got water droplets on it in Washington state No hands-free trunk release w/ carbon fiber diffuser

The lights aren't great, true story. I'm adding aux lights soon.

Human factors design is so interesting .. I’m 6’4” and proportional and they’re perfect for me. You did remind me the steering wheel doesn’t adjust back toward the driver enough for me though. Cheers!

7000 miles since January 2024 on a CT5-BW. I got it with 6 miles on the odo. Cross-country trips, regional runs, and a couple track days so far. No real dislikes but here are a few things I've noticed: The gas tank is way too small I outrun my headlights at night - even with brights on, they...
