    CT5-V Track experience at Homestead Speedway - Miami

    The brakes shouldn’t feel different as they are brake by wire. All feel is simulated through a solenoid. There’s no direct connection except in an emergency if the electric fails. Get with Terrence Sig. in the mods forum he’s producing an exact OEM copy of the rear spoiler at a fraction of the...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    I retract my previous post. CEL is back. Exact same location as where I triggered it the first time. Haven’t been able to get it to pop up in other places/conditions. I’m not sure if a car could get more lemony when it comes to lemon laws. This is getting beyond frustrating. Maybe GM needs to...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Took car to track yesterday. Could only run it all out late in the afternoon as the track was too wet from overnight rain most of the day. Seems to be holding up so far. I did notice that they didn’t tighten one of the exhaust manifold shield bolts, left off 2 under body panel fasteners, &...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    On the config we ran they said there’s not much difference. There were only a couple places where you’d shift. I ran a car both with and without carbon ceramics and didn’t notice a difference on that track either. Now on other tracks the auto is definitely faster & I imagine the unsprung weight...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Strongly recommend Carmelo’s. It’s a small Italian restaurant a short drive from the track. The pizza is pretty good, but the calzones are way better. The bruschetta & garlic bread are unreal & are must gets. They’ll also pour you normally expensive liquor very generously very cheap.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Welp, going back again. Got over 1,000 miles on the new longblock and had the dealer change the oil under warranty a few days ago. Driving home I did a full throttle run of 2nd, 3rd, & into fourth & the check engine light started flashing, which usually indicates an emissions system issue. Maybe...

    BW Paint Protection Advice

    In a black car that costs this much PPF the entire thing. Just imagine if an option existed that prevented minor scratches, swirls, & stone chips while also making cleaning much easier. That option cost less than the msrp increase many faced going from a 22 to a 23

    Front and Rear Parking Sensor Retrofit

    The part number is 84761801. With the campaign my dealer was able to start the process of ordering. It’s on back order & they have no clue when it’ll actually come in though. Looks like it’s about a $14 part & might be available on some online parts sources.

    How the Spring Mountain shop sets up their 4's

    Also I highly recommend Castrol SRF. It’s expensive, but you only have to bleed once a year with it. The wet boiling point is insanely high. Takes 1.5 bottles.

    How the Spring Mountain shop sets up their 4's

    Almost all this info is in the owners manual. Yes you need a computer tool to fully flush 100% of fluid but you can do a standard bleed with a motive power bleeder and get out enough you’ll be more than fine. Just need to disconnect battery first. Cheapest place to buy the OEM pads/rotors is...

    Soul Performance Sport Exhaust Package

    Then just have exhaust cutouts installed. Fairly simple, cheap, & easy for a local exhaust shop to do.

    CT5-V Engine Noise

    The first clip sounds almost like a minor exhaust leak & the second just standard direct injector noises.

    CT5-V Engine failure

    The oil life monitor is pretty sophisticated. If you don’t drive the car much the monitor may alert you to change even more frequently than 3k bc of age. At least on other engines at the performance build center (like current z06) they run on an engine dyno to check everything us working and...

    Cool detail on the Track Edition

    I meant red for the middle back seat. I got red belts in my 5, but the middle back seat one is black.

    Wait are only the special editions getting the red belts or all?

    CT5-V Low dust pad options?

    It’s wise to. If you don’t open the doors and keep the key away you’re fine. You don’t want the start up procedure to start or else the caliper pistons will activate & with no pads inside (or your fingers inside) that would be bad.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    you need to also put on the front splitter if you're putting on the rear for that purpose. otherwise you're gonna have the front lifting from the rear being pushed down and the front not

    CT5-V Low dust pad options?

    Fwiw Gloc is basically the exact same materials as carbotech & they’ll make any custom pads for anything you want
