    Aftermarket Wheels for CT5-V Blackwing

    @FISH22 these are 19s right?? These look really good on your car. I've seen photos of this wheel in 19" configuration on other cars (albeit different wheel and exterior colors) and they look small/underwhelming. Looks perfect on yours- especially considering your car isn't lowered.

    CT5-V Squeaking noise when pulling away from a stop or throttle at low RPM

    Mine is a ‘24 with almost 4K miles and does it as well. I chocked it up to the clutch/flywheel (with no proof- just from experience or having modified flywheel vehicles making similar sounds during operation in low speeds) and gotten used to it at this point. Whole lotta power going through that...

    Has anyone owned both 4vBW and 5vBW?

    I will say the 5bw does give me “range anxiety” every time I fill up and it’s less than 200 miles to empty but agree with comments that the experience makes up for it. I would’ve paid extra for a larger fuel tank in a heartbeat.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Blendmount + mirrortap for my radar detector.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Ugh… The bronze wheels look so good with radiant red. May need to bite the bullet and buy.

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Are you 100% immune from getting popped? No. Does it reduce the risk? Yes. I run a Uniden R8 detector in conjunction with Waze and apply common sense as you described. Served me well so far.

    Radar Detector

    Uniden folks. Are you running the blendmount w the mirrortap? Just ordered this combo from Amazon and look forward to installing. Hope it’s not a pain to do so. 2 days into BW ownership, I feel naked without a detector.

    In a dilemma… Help.

    She’s here… What a beast. I haven’t redlined 2nd gear yet in fear of going to prison as speed limits are an average of 45mph around me. There is so much power all over the powerband. 4th gear, 40mph, slight throttle and it pulls hard. What a time to be alive and have the opportunity to own a car...

    In a dilemma… Help.

    He’s trying to save iconic sports cars that come in a manual. Maybe after the Miata he’ll move on to lotus or Porsche.

    In a dilemma… Help.

    Haha- thank you. Haven't driven one yet. Challenging to find used ones to test drive- let alone a manual so this will be the first car I've ever bought where I haven't test driven one prior. I haven't read/watched one person who's driven it not rave about it so I was willing to pull the trigger...

    In a dilemma… Help.

    I never considered the automatic. You may be mixing me up with @savethemanual , which was pointed out to me earlier in a thread that some folks thought we were the same person due to our usernames being almost identical except for the plural nature of mine :).

    In a dilemma… Help.

    Yep. Was a must-have. Now if I can get the dealer to call me back to refund my deposit I left for a '25 😅.

    In a dilemma… Help.

    Update: I found a pre-owned 2024 out of state that was too good to pass up and pulled the trigger. She's currently on a transporter scheduled to be dropped off on Monday. Will update with photos when she lands. Excited is an understatement and likely won't be able to sleep until then.

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Makes sense. Unfortunate it’s no longer available but it won’t make me cancel my order. If it’s a big deal to someone, purchase a pre-facelift.

    The red tintcoat with bronze wheels is just 🤌.

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Wild theory on why blind spot monitoring is nla on the manual. Based on the website there is a new “blind zone steering assist” feature that’s standard on the A10 but n/a on the manual. Perhaps the basic monitoring is tied into the new feature and since M6 doesn’t get it, it loses the basic...

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    Is it listed on the window sticker as a standard feature?

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Spot on. I shared my ordering experience in a different thread but one of the local dealers wanted a $15K non-refundable deposit for me to order a car in Typhoon metallic. They have two ‘25 black manuals sitting on their lot for the past 2+ weeks and majority of their pipeline is white/black BW’s.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I asked for a discount when I was ordering mine but was politely told no chance. Most dealers have more orders than allocations they anticipate getting at this point so as a buyer, you have no leverage.
