    Wheel Upgrade

    Yes would love to know the wheel specs. I've been dreaming about 305/30/19 fronts on a 10.5 or 11" wheel so I'd be curious about your fitment.

    It's been a year now

    Beautiful Evoras, guys! It's fun to be able to have such wildly different performance cars in the same stable. I think the crossover between the Evora and Blackwing would be that in their respective classes, they are the most engaging and driver focused. Also, they are both sort of left field...

    It's been a year now

    And I thought that I had terrible impulse control! I've bought and sold a ton of cars and bikes but Nick you take the cake! Thank you for helping me feel better about myself!

    It's been a year now

    I have a 2017 Evora 400 6sp and a 2024 5BW 6sp. If you enjoy your Evora, you will love the 5BW. The Evoras are raw and rowdy while the 5BW seems a little calm and aloof when you first start driving it. Put it in the sportier modes and drive it harder, though, and you start realizing the...

    Sidewall Bump.. (morphed into Transmission replacement)

    You might need to run it through Michelin. That's internal damage and, judging by the lack of damage to the finish of the sidewall (i.e. like if it was scuffed or torn), that just proves it's not driver error.

    Sidewall Bump.. (morphed into Transmission replacement)

    100% replace it. Possibly will be warrantied.

    How the Spring Mountain shop sets up their 4's

    At Spring Mountain a few weeks ago I mentioned that I had swapped out front pads for Ferodo 2500s and didn't disconnect battery. The instructor told me I was lucky to not have any issues because supposedly the car does periodic tests on itself such as adding brake pressure to make sure they...

    Pops out of 1st gear

    Having owned and driven numerous Tremec equipped cars on the street and track, I had never experienced the 1st gear popping out . . . until I got my 2024 5BW. It is really weird, has nothing to do with seating position, arm strength, careless driving, etc. It literally will just pop out of 1st...

    break pedal can the height be lowered

    If you are having heel and toe issues like I did, I highly recommend installing a SRP throttle pedal. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/5bw-6sp-heel-and-toe-issues.4556/#post-89349

    5 BWer's in Black Raven: Exterior Carbon? Yes or No?

    Forgot to mention that the black paint is notorious for having terrible quality and mine was one that came off the truck with scratches and scuffs. The dealership paid for my PPF guy to do a paint correction on the entire car and then he PPF'd the whole car so you can't notice any issues really.

    5 BWer's in Black Raven: Exterior Carbon? Yes or No?

    Black Raven 2024 5BW here. I spec'd mine with very few options and definitely no carbon. These are expensive cars and I didn't feel a need to add even more money to the price, especially for what are cosmetic upgrades (yes, I know they add downforce and will deduct a fraction of a second on a...

    Still want all-season tires

    Yes the OE rear 305s being slightly shorter than the fronts makes my OCD flare up, too! With regard to all seasons, it looks like both the Michelin AS4 and the Continental DWS06 Plus are offered in 275/35/19 and 285/35/19. Those 285s will work fine on the 11" rear wheel and will be a fraction...

    CT4 BW Bridgestone Potenza All Seasons?

    OP I think you are overthinking this. Most tire brands don't recommend mixing tire models and as pointed out above, any all season is going to be a step down in terms of steering responsiveness compared to the special PS$S tires Cadillac has spec'd. However, on other cars I have used some all...

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

    I didn't see this posted - nice comparison between OE and Corsa:

    CT4-V Some thoughts after test driving an auto 4-v blackwing, and asking for some advice regarding manual vs auto

    I am pretty sure the 4BW has hill hold assist like my 5BW 6sp. You will have no problem on hills. And manual. Manual. MANUAL! End of discussion. In all seriousness, the 4BW manual has better gearing than the tall 5BW gears. The Tremecs are such a pleasure to use in all situations. I...

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

    Got it, thank you. I'm probably going to order the catback one day soon.

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

    Thank you. Corsa historically has offered their exhausts in 2 volume levels - Sport (loud) and Xtreme (REALLY LOUD). I would prefer Sport personally.
