    CT5-V CT5-V BW Reliability/Maintenance Issues

    I now have nearly 9k on my 2023 5BW and have had zero reliability issues. Car has light mods, now 675rwhp and 725 rwt, and drives beautifully. Yes, it will get a little sideways in first and second, and OK maybe third, but that's part of rear wheel drive and most important, part of the fun. It...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    OK, not today, but last weekend ran at the Arkansas Mile. Ran 181 and change five times in a row Saturday morning. Back to the tuner for more horsepower.

    Roll Call

    The Texas Mile is really big - like 250 cars on the grid. Arkansas is rarely over 75 vehicles - including motorcycles. I have run as many as 6 times in a day comfortably and gone in time to cleanup and get my wife a martini. Both places have great folks, most of whom will offer help if you...

    Roll Call

    Great video. Brings back fond memories, especially as GoPro wasn't even imagined back then. Then again, my first bike was steam powered. Marriage and parenthood took away bikes and skydiving, but at least cars have prevailed. 135 on a bike feels way faster than 185 in a car. Anyone here been...

    Roll Call

    I have enjoyed this forum for several months now, having purchased a 2023 5BW in all black (except for the lug nuts, soon to be changed). We live an hour north of Dallas, have both been private investigators for the last 33 years and are still working. As you all seem quite young (I'm 75) this...

    CT5-V First time post

    I believe there is an annual road race there that runs over 100 miles on closed highways. Never been there but looks like fun.

    CT5-V First time post

    I have run the Texas Mile five times in a variety of cars. That you got in five runs in one day is amazing, usually two to three is typical. The Arkansas Mile has a lot fewer people on the grid and five to eight runs (if you want that many) is fairly common. You have a choice of one mile or a...

    CT5-V First time post

    Simple answer - carefully. Tires are stock - for now. Car gets a lot more stable after 60 or so. And yes, it can get a little sideways in the beginning. But it's more fun than the M8 competition coupe I just left with four wheel drive - just punch it and go. Mile racers don't launch like...

    CT5-V First time post

    First, my thanks to everyone on this site for all the knowledge, and entertainment, on the Blackwing. I have been watching the site since before I received my 2022 CT5-V three months ago and found it invaluable, and fun. Car had 600 miles, is black raven, black with black accent seats, A10...
