I've had my 5BW 6MT since Jan 2023 & now have >37k miles on her. When I had the OEM tires, I've had her at +170mph without issue. My 2020 Dodge Charger WB Hellcat felt more unstable at +160mph than the BW. I think it's bc the 5BW has slightly better aero even though I don't have any of the CF...

They are horrible compared to? I currently have >37k miles on my 5BW that I bought new in Jan 2023. Therefore, I drive A LOT. Whatever trade off I have in the Michelin A/S vs the OEM tire is worth it to me because of all the rain I experience in the North Carolina Triangle area. The OEM tires...

275/35/19 Front 305/30/19 Rear

From the Michelin website: MICHELIN Pilot Sport A/S 4 325/30 ZR19 101(Y) ZP BSW MICHELIN Pilot Sport A/S 4 275/35 ZR19/XL 100Y I got their RF version on the rears because that's all they had at the time I needed new tires. I haven't had an issue with them. They are great in the rain as compared...

There are no rear OEM sized A/S tires for the 5BW. (There is for the front.) But there are still options available if you're willing try a 325 in the rear with a spacer. It looks a little strange bc the wider tire in the rear makes the rear look REALLY wide. I didn't like it at first but it's...

You can't tell by looking at her but I installed the Soler Performance Bluetooth Throttle Controller today. It really "livens up" the throttle response with so many more options than OEM. In addition, I can deactivate the throttle pedal as a theft deterrant when the vehicle is parked. The photo...

Instead of the fuel cutoff, I was looking at this the other day -- Amazon.com

Reply from Soler: Hi Sonny, Thank you for reaching out. We do offer a throttle controller for your CT5-V. It's actually the same exact one you bought for your Corvette the SEO525. Here is the link for it. SE0525-TC DLX Bluetooth® Throttle Controller: Corvette 7/8, Camaro 6, Cadillac CTS 3 &...

As posted on a previous thread, I did the same thing: Michelin Pilot All Sport AS4 325/30/19 in the rear on OEM wheels with 6mm spacers. No rubbing at all of the fender. The inside edge of the tire sometimes just barely touches the fender liner -- but just barely & only under severe loading.

I installed a Soler Performance Bluetooth Throttle Controller on my C8. The bonus for this controller is I can deactivate the throttle pedal from responding to inputs as a theft deterrant. In other words, when deactivated, press down the accelerator all you want with the vehicle started & it...

Two words for you: Flyin Miata I knew them even before Bill & Teri Cardell started FM when it was still known as The Dealer Alternative in West Orange, NJ. It was the year I met them that they moved to Colorado. When I had my NA Miata, I essentially had the entire FM catalogue installed in her...

I moved south of the Mason-Dixon Line to get away from the 4-letter S-word! 🤬

I don't have any photos when I towed my 5BW or C8 to VIR & CMP but I used: Tie down straps on the front wheels (like a tire net but without the expense of a tire net -- see attached example). You'll need to find tie down points on the side of the trailer or underneath. The trailer I rented had...

Don't get me wrong -- I don't hate on bikers. I've just seen/heard about too many bikers getting seriously injured/killed (including a coworker & another was good friend) through no fualt of their own. Granted, there's accepting & mitigating risk in anything that one does. (Eg, is driving on the...

Thanks for the informative instructions! Even though there is minor residual still on the visor, I agree -- it looks 1000% better than the warning sticker. I'm gonna have to try your method with a heat gun bc I like the clean look over a covering sticker. Did you remove the visor or just left...

Don't get me wrong -- I think motorcycles are great. (I'd own one except I know I'd be mortally injured in no time flat.) Rarely is it the rider's fault when something bad happens. Moreover, the margin for error to escape major injury is so very small. I've just seen too much badness both...

There's a reason why, we in the front-line medical field, call them donor-cycles. If you've been this lucky thus far, I wouldn't push it any further. Distracted drivers are getting worse & more plentiful. Don't become a statistic.

What did you use?

Anyone know if there's a stick on to cover up the warning labels on the sun visors? I find those things to be so ugly. I've ordered them from FleaBay for the C8 but doesn't look like anyone (not even Savage) makes them for the CT5. If I can't find them to purchase, I might have to DIY something.

I really feel for you guys/gals that have to do this. Especially with the Michelin AS tires I just installed, I'll be driving Pegasus all winter long in North Cackalacky. If we get even an inch of snow here in Raleigh, it'll be snowpocalypse and I'll probably have to drive my F-150 for a day...
