    CT4-V 15% off a brand new C8 or keep the CT4 blackwing

    It seems like a lot of us are in the same boat. The Blackwings are such all around satisfying vehicles that it is hard to find a better option, but the car lover in you is always looking for the next best thing. I posted about this recently in another thread, but even the 911 I recently test...

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    Just a couple more data points - I test drove a 991.2 C2S and a 718 GT4 this weekend. Having never driven a 911 before, it really surprised me, and overall not for the positive. I was considering it as a replacement DD for the 4BW, but the steering and shifter both felt worse overall, and...

    Power Steering warning

    I got the same thing this morning, steering felt off but seems to have fixed itself. Curious if this has become a recurrent thing for you, or has it been a non issue since?

    CT4-V What to get after blackwing? <55K USD

    I envy your dilemma - I really need the backseats for now, but would love to trade up at some point for a Cayman 4.0 or GT4 (of course those are a lot more expensive). If you're looking at Camaros, some lightly used ZL1s are kinda starting to approach your price point. C7 Grand Sport would be...

    Disabling GM's ability to track my CT5V Blackwing

    I'm far from a conspiracy theorist, but the NYT piece below lays out more details about the data GM is reportedly sharing with Lexis/Nexis. This is also being discussed more directly in this thread: Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns I'm generally in line with the comments above...

    CT4-V Tools and Parts for DIY oil change

    Has anyone installed a Fumoto valve on a 4BW? From their site I think the F137 is the correct fit, but was hoping to confirm before ordering. Thanks!

    4BW wheel fitment question

    I don't have FB, so that's super helpful. Really appreciate it!

    4BW wheel fitment question

    Apologies in advance for such a noob question, but wheel fitment confuses me. I have a 4BW and am wondering if the factory 5BW 19" wheels would fit on my car? I like how the OEM wheels look, but would prefer a slightly wider wheel/tire for more traction in the summer. Is cost just the limiting...

    Ventilated seat expectations

    This is my first car with ventilated (or heated) seats. Things are starting to warm up here, and I think they are working (I can hear the fan kick on when I turn them on), but I can't say I feel a big difference with them on recently. In colder temps I could definitely feel them working (that...

    Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results

    Did you have the JB4 installed as well when having this issue, or just the intake alone? Thanks!

    Underhood plastic cover removal

    Straight up from both sides, needed a little more on the front once the back was loose. Also, just curious, but why are you taking it off? I was trying to jump a dead battery, but subsequently read in the manual the negative terminal is elsewhere, supposedly. Still not sure I located it, lol

    Underhood plastic cover removal

    I didn't find another release, but I gave the whole thing a little mustard after the back was loose and it popped off. Popped back in fine as well. Not the most elegant solution, but it worked.

    Reverse camera intermittently not working

    Twice this week I've put my car (4BW, 6MT) into reverse and the backup camera didn't come on. It seemed to have fixed itself after the first time and was normal, but then it happened again this morning (pic attached of the error it is showing). It's been very cold here, the first time was after...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Finished full front PPF, ceramic coating, and decided to pull the trigger on debadging the rear and the side V's. Pretty happy with how things turned out, I think the Black Raven looks better without all the additional chrome. Pics for reference in case anyone else is considering the same.

    Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results

    Looks incredible! Just a quick point of clarification - the intake alone (without JB4 or anything else) will not require upgraded spark plugs to safely achieve those gains, correct? Thanks so much for everything you all are doing!

    Gas tank not filling completely

    Just to follow up - tried the 45 degree angle at the exact same pump and it worked to completion, just like I remember from my first time back in high school. Seems silly to have to do that, but glad it's an easy fix. Really appreciate all the help!

    Gas tank not filling completely

    Thank you all, really appreciate it! Will try the 45 degree method next time. And will also keep the spitting on it, sticking it in and out rapidly, and gently massaging above the door in mind as well if needed :)
