My 2022 5BW came without any carbon. I added the OEM trunk spoiler, but never the front splitter. At 130 on the highway, it was perfectly smooth, but of course I was not banking into hard turns at that #. Funny you ask though, because I sure did consider that same point at that speed. My...

Sorry to read this. At least you will get a brand new motor.

I bought (2) Blackwings from Dustin and shipped both. 2022 4, and after a 2022 5. Still have not met the BW King in person, everything done via text and email after an early phonecall. Establish the relationship, and shipping was no problem.

Well that is very true! Modern HD trucks are overly behemoth and tough to see over the front end.

It is scary that you can't spot a car looking over your shoulder. I hope the small mirrors you added solve the problem. My daily is a F250 crew cab. Massive vehicle, and yet the easiest of all mine to spot cars with the tow mirrors. You can't miss a thing with tow mirrors.

I am glad you found a solution, Todd. I have BSM on all my current cars, but honest to God, I never look at that light. I really do not understand how drivers get so dependent on such a feature. I never had it for 30+ years of driving, and even now that is is very standard, I never use it as...

I mean if they offered a Blackwing coupe.

Heck no, I only wish we could have got the cars together! Maybe now I will do so by driving West instead of East. I have been crazy with work the past few days and am just getting caught up. Happy for both you and JB!

Man, Nick, congratulations on the R8! The guys who owns the shop that does my detailing daily drives one. Killer machine. @jbawden, welcome to club BDT!! Mine has just surpassed 3000 miles, and it is the most enjoyable machine I have ever owned. Don't get me wrong, I loved my 22 Rift...

Great reply, Dirkbg (y)

2025s can't get a win!

I would. Red would be a great touch too. As for competing against "ze Germans", sure, we can say Cadillac needs nicer leather (but thank you Cadillac for a "just right" steering wheel compared to the overly thick one in the M4 I owned). But we can also say in order for the Germans to compete...

HOLY COW Nick... I did not expect this post! The other thing is hopefully amazing to let go of this ultra rare Blackwing. GLWS my Friend. Anyone considering dumping the same on a 2025 is getting so much more value here. PS, my favorite photo is the last one (y)

Me too. This new W&W2025 Parmigiani is really calling me. 50 piece LE. Photo by Watch Collecting Lifestyle:

I agree, 50 seems like a lot. But at this rate, 99/100 LT4 Blackwing owners will never have a problem. I thought this video was quite informative. He mentions the importance of break-in. Everyone has their own belief, I just don't see redlining a new motor at 12 miles as a good idea. I...

Exactly. The L87 is a different engine the LT4. There seems to be a lot of confusion about this fact. In another thread where the guy lists all known LT4 blown engines, we compared that against 3 years of production. Was it less than 1%, or 2%? Super low. So I am not sure what the % needs...

Oh it absolutely tells the time, and quite easily. I am off for now, but can comment more tomorrow. The Freak is, and will always be, an icon within the watch world.

Actually, it is the Supercharged LT4 V8 for most of us who bought one. I would have been even happier with no back seat if they offered it!!

No delay on my 22 or 24. Press the button and the door pops open. I don't need to time it at all on mine.
