    CT5-V CCBs soon to be available for 5BW! Yes, carbon ceramic rotors for iron-disc cars.

    I have exactly zero interest in this upgrade. However, to play Devil's Advocate, using the logic of "these cars are so complicated that swapping out any component will cause problems", shouldn't upgrading OE rotors to Girodiscs etc and swapping out pads for G Locs and such cause the ECUs to...

    MPG problem on new 2024 CT5-V Blackwing

    I hate to tell you but I think your car might be broken. I average 11mpg around town.

    CT4-V AWE-Tuning.com ready to make full exhaust kits

    Given AWEs overall great reputation, I am a buyer if it has similar to OE tips. I also hope they can package the mufflers in a way that they don't look like the goofy Corsa ones semi-hanging down on that 5BW above.

    Who Wants the First Corsa CT5-V Blackwing Exhaust System?

    Any more owners with reviews/impressions? Any drone?

    CT5-V Blackwing: Slight Yaw/Rotation under hard throttle

    This is great information. I have posted elsewhere about noticing this phenomenon in 3rd and 4th and it definitely can be disconcerting. I may start with the SPL arms and see if I need to go any further. @WONT TAP - any thoughts on this issue or these arms?

    5BW Rear wheel liner missing screws?

    Thank you very much for this thread! The liners actually had a surprising amount of movement before securing them earlier today. I didn't see any rub marks anywhere, though.

    5BW Rear wheel liner missing screws?

    Too funny! I was actually planning on installing mine this coming weekend (I finally have a lift!). Right after your post showing the screws, I ordered some from Amazon that will be here tomorrow so I can spend a few minutes screwing things in and feeling like a real mechanic under my car.

    5BW Rear wheel liner missing screws?

    Just checked mine - 2023 built fall of 23 - and it's missing screws, too. What fasteners are you guys using? None in my box seemed to fit quite right.

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    If you have ever owned a Hellcat powered car, you might understand the allure of the blower whine. It makes the car feel even more like a living, breathing creature.

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    One thing you might want to consider is what mode you are driving the car in. I found that the "race" modes were super annoying in terms of interference and making the car feel unnatural, despite them supposedly being the fastest on track. I didn't even like the feel of those modes at Spring...

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    A) what psi are you running? B) what is the ambient temp? C) what mode are you driving in? I'm in Texas south of you and run 32psi with all nannies off. Yes it will go sideways very, very easily, but it will also put the power down decently with a little discretion. You are coming from a huge...

    CT5-V Retrofitting carbon ceramic brakes to 5BW?

    I am actually glad you were wrong because after reading your initial post about the 2500s I was worried maybe I was just feeling 'confirmation bias', foolishly thinking the new pads felt different when they really were identical! I definitely recommend the 2500s if people want better initial...

    CT5-V Retrofitting carbon ceramic brakes to 5BW?

    Hmmmm I have replaced my OE front pads with 2500s from Ken@KNS and the 2500s have much better initial bite. I have run 2500s on Evos, Boss 302s, Evoras. The OE pads on my 2024 5BW had a really soft initial bite more consistent with a luxury car than an ultra high performance sports sedan.

    Track rats rejoice!

    That article mentions the rear end wallow that I would like to eliminate on my '24. Is there a list of the bushings that they took from the 1LE and installed on the '25 Precision Pack?

    Motorcycles

    Ok that is INCREDIBLE!! Those look like 2000-ish WSBK spec forks and front brakes, the titanium cans on that full Yoshimura system are really rare, different rear disc and caliper, maybe an Ohlins rear shock in place of the rotary damper? Such cool bikes, rode several modified ones back in the...

    It's been a year now

    It's funny, dinkman - I have been scheming how to buy a 4BW 6sp to sit alongside my 5BW 6sp! If you can get the 5BW, go for it. But the 4BW is absolutely incredible to drive so you are not really missing too much (other than badass V8 noises).

    It's been a year now

    Have driven my 2020 GT350R on a 3k mile road trip with 2 days of over 700 miles and zero issues (and it doesn't even have the upgraded stereo). Love that car like no other. I am running PS4S on it, though. The Cup2s are awesome until they arent!

    CT5-V Why is the exhaust so quiet inside?

    Please update us when you do! I'm on the fence and need someone to tip me right on over!
