Any photos of the pieces together?

Hey @Terrance Sig have you seen this thread about some sort of clips needed for the CF splitter? You've been under both kinds of cars I assume? Do the CF splitters need another part to attach properly to the front end, or is it just the same bolt holes that the non-CF splitter uses?

You honestly think I'll be caught dead in public parking next to your car if you get that color? ;-)

It wouldn't surprise me. GM re-uses most of their colors in one way or another, and adding green was exactly what they did for the C8's "baby diarrhea" yellow. So your impression is probably spot on. Sean, you have better taste than that, I know you do. Of course... you DID buy two bright...

Funny: one of mine (the fox red one) is Zeus as well. Sunday morning: loaded up in the BigRedTruck, and off on a 2.5 hour drive to see my lady friend in PA: Later that night, Hercules decided to sit on Zeus' back, which wasn't what I'd intended: (My hairy legs, too. Ignore those).

Great idea Terrance. Thanks for thinking that one up!

It's been a busy week or so. Last weekend, off to Poor-sha's "garage" (haha) for a custom 4-wheel alignment. Results: a good compromise between street and track. This past week: to the dealer for a brake and differential fluid flush now that I've finally passed the 1500 mile mark. Then...

That's not .. exactly... what happens. The are dyno-driven, but not anywhere NEAR redline. It's done for a quick emissions test. And they aren't "beating the crap" out of them, either. As I said at the beginning of this thread: the engine doesn't need a break-in. The differential does...

I'd imagine with a large enough pair of balls and hitting T10 perfectly at SPR Main, 140 down the main straight wouldn't be out of the question either.

Sounds like the constraints are loosening up. Good news!

They weren't on constraint when you ordered your car. They are, now. No one gets them now unless they order the hyper-expensive Anniversary package (which isn't available any longer). Until they come off constraint, it doesn't matter how special you think you are, you're not getting them. ;-)...

Sure folks, "only way to fly" and "worth it to you" assuming you can get them. :-)

You can look up "Semi-aniline leather" online to get a better description of it. The reason the cost is so high is that it includes the carbon fiber seat backs. Those are worth substantially more than the leather itself. And they're probably also on constraint until GM's carbon fiber supply...

I feel like I lost valuable IQ points reading the OP. Sorry for the click. What a crock of shit.

Can someone check my work here? I want to get another set of OEM wheels and pressure sensors. I believe these are the satin black 5BW wheels: Front: 84319218 (need 2) Rear: 84319222 (need 2) Sensors: 13538760 (need 4) Sensor nuts: 13581557 (need 4) Look right?

The pitting is from oxidation, and oxidation happens to CC rotors when they hit a certain surface temperature. They're perfectly functional in that state, but as you say: they nuke pads much faster. FWIW I ran the same brakes on my 2010 ZR1 at the track; have LOTS of experience with them. As...

OEM 5BW front carbon fiber deflectors for sale if anyone's interested: https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/for-sale-ct5-v-blackwing-carbon-fiber-front-deflectors-1000.4089/

These two are for sale, new, unused, purchased directly from a Cadillac dealership: front side wheel deflector right PN 84490400 front side wheel deflector left PN 84490401 Asking $1000 for both (they cost me $1000 each) and will ship anywhere in the US. I'm purchasing Terrance's front...

Remember that the CCB rotors evaporate from the inside out. So as mentioned, measuring the thickness is generally not the right way to determine their longevity. Weighing them is. And yes, weighing them is a pain in the ass.

They were not. They can't. It's a tax that YOU HAVE TO PAY, as the customer. It's to punish YOU for buying an evil, gas-guzzling pig. It only punishes the manufacturer because they have to add that cost to the sticker which risks turning folks off.
