Smart man! Literally and figuratively as you appear to be a CPA. Me too. Good combo being a CPA with a 5BW six-speed. :D

I have a '22 Subaru BRZ Limited six-speed manual I got from Sewell as well. They are AWESOMELY fun cars. I track it and slide it around town. It's a blast of a car.

In most scenarios, a manual 5BW will hold better long-term value than any CT4BW, especially the automatics. That's basically a fact. So, if you can stretch to a manual 5BW, total cost of ownership should not be any worse than any 4BW. A lower option 4BW manual will also hold pretty good...

Oh, I'm not worried about the rods on the automatic LF4 from a durability standpoint, but it just feels a bit cheaper to not use the the Ti rods on all of the LF4 engines.

I'll buy it from you for sticker.

That seems significant to me. Lighter/stronger rods.

Lucky dog! Sounds like a total blast!

Doesn't the LF4 automatic have different engine internals than the LF4 manual?

I love that combo too! It's a perfect one. :D Congrats!

Looks like they did nice work! Congrats!

Can’t wait to see you hit 300-400k miles, unless your daily driving is 10 miles a day or something.

I understand your position, but what works for you doesn’t always work for others. I have 8,500 miles on my 5BW 6MT in almost 2 years so it doesn’t sit all the time, but I’d prefer not to drive it daily as I plan to keep it 20+ years hopefully. I daily a ‘23 TRX as I go to job sites and need...

I got to flog a new M3 Comp X-drive with the ZF at COTA (F1 track in Austin) several months ago. It was very fast, very stable, made angry inline six noises, and overall was a blast to beat on around the track. Temps were high too outside, but car stayed cool. So, overall I was impressed...

Price, weight, nimble feel is better on the BW. Powertrain is superior on the M3, otherwise the 4BW is very competitive on other facets. Also, I prefer the styling of the BW to the gaping maw of the M3. Reliability "may" favor Cadillac over BMW over time as well. All that said, I'd...

That's what I was getting ready to say. Turn off stability and traction control, crank the wheel, nail the gas, pop the clutch, and boom, 180 degree turn within the length of the car. Can't beat that. :D To the OP, I don't daily my 5BW 6MT (8,300 miles since August 2021), but you easily...

Wow, horrible QC and attention to detail on that repair. :(

You want your Blackwing to sound like an OJ Ford Bronco with straight pipes? :D

Congrats! I live in Keller and got mine from Sewell Grapevine (5BW six-speed car #26) Had my old '16 Camaro SS at Classic Collision and still service my '10 ZR1 there. Very disturbing you had your '16 Chevy SS stolen there!! Hope to see you around town. Mine is shadow gray with bronze...

Like that super cruise is available. Don't like that it's only with automatic. Maybe I need to keep my car 5BW #26 six-speed manual car as a low mileage toy and buy a daily driver automatic with super cruise CT5-VBW. That would be a fun garage combo. :D

But, will headers require a tune? I agree headers to stock exhaust will likely be perfect, but I don't like tuning new cars personally.
