@Sir_wilhelmsemuth What's the latest CT5-V BW suspension news? I'm getting consistent, good times at my tracks and am ready to see if I can get some more out of it mechanically now. I'm looking at swaybar, control arm, and bushing changes for more planted mid-corner and more rear tracking...

These can be quickly removed to prevent melting if you're doing track days vs. the OE center caps which have to be pushed out from the back.

This stood out to me. Nice idea for the screw/lock!

I have two car seats in the back. When those aren't installed, which is rare, I keep my rear seatbelts buckled with shoulder straps extended/released to ratchet. Both negate reasonable access. I like your solution b/c it may help even more w/ reasonable access situations. Probable cause would...

Tail happy car wagging its tail. I have noticed the walking or wagging at speed on straights full throttle gets more noticeable as the tires wear. Savagegeese likely have new tires being reviewed and the walk/wag is more tame w/ new tires. I guess that's when I know new tires are needed - when...

My bank 1 catalytic converter was replaced ~16k miles. Plugged. ~100 miles after that I had bank 1 spark plugs replaced due to misfire codes. I've since driven ~1200 miles including a track day and all is well. I do worry there'll be another cat or plug failure in my future b/c nothing else was...

It's a setting in your instrument cluster, not w/in vehicle settings on the center stack. You have to use your steering wheel arrows to find it. It's called "Speed Warning."

I’ve had several (different cyl) CT5-V BW spark plugs replaced under warranty due to misfire. Carbon tracked was referenced. Always runs great after replacement. No compression, leak down, etc. tests performed. FWIW, I had a GMC Typhoon where I replaced caps/plugs/wires every year. Wondering if...

Fade/Balance -> 4 clicks rearward I think this is the secret sauce as it lets more bass come through

Here’s the concept. I have the lights. No hurry to install w/ race season coming up.

MY24 here also in the PNW. Same complaint especially in the rain. Unrelated, no rear window wiper is also a disappointment. I'm planning on auxiliary lights. Light bar and pods. Haven't gotten around to the install yet.

This hits hard.

I named my CT5-V Blackwing Mercedes.

What are you up to w/ the catch can? Is there visible oil when you pull the supercharger cover? I looked into doing this several months ago and found posts where Mirza and co. stated the CT5-V LT4 had an integrated catch can (recirculator really) that works well. Ref: Catch can for the LT4

I use three hand baskets from grocery stores. They fit in the CT5 trunk perfectly for moving things to/from and around considering my grocery store(s) are consistent. Or use hippy granola bags. Don't overcomplicate life. ;)

Sustained 100MPH on Louisiana/Texas flat (which means FLAT) is ~15-18MPG. Err, wait .. I mean in Mexico. That's the only reason I know. :)

How does fuel work for this event? a CT5 Blackwing will last ~3X 20 minute sessions track driving until empty.

I always use Red Hot Chili Peppers - Behind the Sun to tune stereo systems I've built or set up. My settings are: Audio -> Sound Equalizer -> +11 bass, +0 Midrange, +1 Treble, +5 Surround I'll sometimes change it to +8 bass or lower for highly-produced hip hop. Fade/Balance -> 4 clicks...
