    CT5-V TPC PS4S

    No, the factory tire is the TPC tire. There's a TPC code on your original tires that came with the car. For those having problems finding them, I just received another set last month via Costco. Even when you can't find them in the configurator, you can always go to their local tire center...

    Paint nub issues and panel misalignments

    If it's in the base coat, I'd try to lemon the car but hold onto it until a replacement shows up.

    Road Trash

    Based on C&D (?), seems deer have it out for Blackwings!

    CT5-V Oil change for ct5V BW

    That looks like it. The oil filters are a good bit cheaper in bulk of 6 or 8 as I recall. No oddities changing the oil and if you like doing it yourself, I'd suggest the Fumoto plug valve to make it even easier for future jobs (and grab the optional hose to insure a drip free experience.)

    V-mode best time 0-60

    For the PDR, there's only one specific overlay that records 0-60. If you didn't select it by default you can't add it after recording something. For the in-dash 0-60, I need to check...back later.

    Aero Info

    I saw that number a couple of years ago somewhere...I recall being underwhelmed for the 5BW (I think I recall the 4BW generation more DF with its aero.)

    Anyone rolling a Black Diamond Tricoat Blackwing yet?

    Looking forward to seeing it in person. I didn't like the non-metallic aspect of the black paint on my prior V3 and current 5BW.

    The future Blackwing

    In all fairness to GM, what killed that car is the general death of the sedan to the cross-over and the fact that the Omega platform was too premium for the remaining market (dying due to cross-overs and EVs on the horizon.)

    CT5-V 5BW OE wheel locks

    Ordered them with my car along with ordering locking lugs. However, the black ones didn't ship with the car, so I ended up with standard silver locking nuts. When the dealer got the black ones, it was a fight for them to not have to pay a separate charge for the additional 4 locking black...

    Cadillac V-Club

    I belong to the NW chapter covering the Seattle (and broader) area. They have quarterly events (track events, scenic cruises, car shows, etc.), holiday party, sponsor discounts (e.g., 15% off Michelin tires from authorized retailers), etc.. I also have BMW CCA and I've only held onto it in...

    Separating CT4-V CT5-V CT6-V Blackwings

    Could be, probably condition based which makes sense. I didn't notice at.Spring Mountain nor my local track which is significantly faster.

    Separating CT4-V CT5-V CT6-V Blackwings

    I prefer the term 'track-focused' :) I prefer my A10 for the track and have other cars including a manual if I get the itch for something else.

    Heater Ticking Sound

    I drive in the 40s all the time here and haven't heard this one with 30k miles on the odometer.

    Anyone's Tech Bronze Wheels Fade?

    I think the wheels look a bit faded (from memory as I have black wheels, but want Tech Bronze) but on my monitors, there isn't a significant difference in color between the wheel and caliper.

    Does anyone have this Option? Is it worth having?

    I think it's just an add-on dash cam option. It does seem to have 2-channel recording including the interior rear-facing camera which neither PDR nor Surround Vision have.

    Steel rotor brake pad replacement

    I've yet to find replacement OEM rings for these brakes on the 5BW (or the V3 before.)

    Kill switch in 2026

    While the original intent is noble, a mechanism for law enforcement to deal with people driving under the influence, I can understand why people are mistrusting of our government having this capability in their hands. At this point, we simply don't know the constraints on how and when this...

    Dealer damaged my roof lining?!?

    I've had a slew of black cars including my 5BW because I'm a masochist I guess. My dealership knows to never wash my cars but as some have experienced, your car can arrive with scratches as they often get a lot wash when moved from interim storage to having the plastic applied. I've even seen...
