    Cadillac F1 entry

    Thanks. I'll trial the F1 app next year and see what it's like - split screen action etc. Probably throw an F1 viewing party depending on race time - might get one or two in.

    Cadillac F1 entry

    If I find a Cadillac Racing koozie I'll be all set. And an umbrella. Really could use a pair of driving gloves as well.

    Cadillac F1 entry

    Hope that Ferrari engine is good. What is the best tv package to watch the season? I sent an email to F1 a few years ago but never heard back - imagine that. But I'd like to watch as much of the Cadillack team as possible. Any streaming or replay suggestions? Thanks

    There's a CT4 BW on carsandbids. Just an FYI in case someone is looking for one.

    I ended up with a sunroof because I bought used. The Ulraview has an electric sunshade - two of them - but they operate as one, no way to open one shade, like leave the back open front closed...cannot. I'd really prefer a slicktop after never using the sunroof in my other car other than to vent...

    Blown engine

    I'm also priming by fake-starting my engine if it sits more than a couple days - push start button and then hit stop before it fires - in an effort to pre-lube the thing. This may not do a dang thing but I only get 1 chance to baby the bearings. I get some extra blue smoke from flooding but she...

    CT5BW Blown Motor Registry

    well heck what if I'm way out up on a mountain road (will be soon), 100+ miles from anything? bring a tent? Hagerty for towing? I plan on going OffStar but...does OnStar connect out in the toolies? Or do I need a cellphone with satellite coverage? thread drift not intended, I didn't see where...

    Sun shade windshield

    Follow-up. I got my Ultraview sunroof Heatshields - one sku included 2 pieces. It took them a while since they had to wait for a dealer to get a vehicle in to measure. I think I got the first ever CT5 ultraview Heatshields. Now have the front/back/top. Plus a front for the Honda. Hey they seem...

    CT5 Blackwing 1,200 miles dealership visit!

    That sounds reasonable, for sure. I've talked to a V-Series Certified dealer about upcoming service - there's one in WA, OR, MT - 3 in the region. My local dealer has never seen a blackwing. I'm in WA but not going to that one so planning roadtrips around service time. Plus track events when it...

    CT5 Blackwing 1,200 miles dealership visit!

    Hello, does GM charge for alignment at the complimentary first oil change appoinment? I want to have one done for a road trip. I'd rather use the oil change freebie later but need the alignment at least checked. Am I better off paying a track specialist for the job with a little tweak to stock...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    Couple photos of TPC code on my 2024 5BW OEM tires PS4S. (ok yep..no run flats). That front 275 says "acoustic" (whuts that? foam?), didn't see acoustic on rears. I'll look again, want to see what my DOT codes are..for the log book. ooops, time to scrub and dress these! 2024 @ 485 miles. 275...

    Z06 to CT5V BW

    Curb weight 4,123 lb.Curb weight 3,188 lb. https://www.edmunds.com/car-comparisons/?veh1=402042954&veh2=402044272 I linked that because there's 1000 lbs difference between the two. Something I'd never looked at. I was shopping for a Type R for a couple years but at my age it would be a...

    Best mode for moderate to heavy rain?

    Alright! 'appreciate the trick..this should save me from throwing rocks backing out of my driveway on dry gravel. The gravel is loose/may as well be snow.

    Cadillac F1 entry

    Cool. That sounds great if he does. If I get a tv package I want the extras; paddock cam, driver POV - whatever deluxe package. May as well for the first year anyway. Thanks for that. I hope Michael writes a book someday about his years as an owner, including this F1 thing. Was hoping to see...

    Cadillac F1 entry

    Hang on a sec (I tried to read the R&T article) is Michael Andretti involed with the new F1 team? I hope he is! Not that I like him per se, don't know the man/his racing style, but historically speaking it would be so awesome...especially if Cadillac (with Andretti?) wins the builders cup...

    Lowering Springs for Precision Package CT5-V Blackwing

    Excellent stuff! I plan on keeping my 2024 CT5-V manual but If they do a CT4 BW Automatic, Precison Package, I'd have to look into that as an additonal ride. CT5 stays,
