No surprise we're all huge fans of the 5BW. As @565565 so eloquently put it............. I caught this thread late, but I am still in shock that @savethemanual is waffling on which transmission to get. My list started and ended with 3 pedal machines. That unfortunately eliminates the amazing...

It looks positively wicked though. I love it. Please post update when you add Kooks + exhaust.

That article makes it sounds like the C7 'Vette allowed more Ackerman for the sake of tighter turns in parking lots. There's NO WAY the 5BW has anything like that. It takes more room to turn than probably any vehicle I've ever driven - which unsurprisingly does not include trucks. But I bet...

I did the Texas mile right after I got m 5th gen Camaro. It was naturally aspirated, so I was hoping for 150 but didn't quite make it. The reason I never considered going back was because I was only able to make about 5 passes after sitting in lines all day. It was stock, so other than taping up...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that considers CF just like any other raw material - it should be covered up with paint !!

I did not know there was another CF hood out there. The Florida Cadillac dealer that was offering them was just a wrap anyway - it was 'glass under the CF fabric. This one appears to be all CF. What was the bit about using hood pins instead of the factory hydraulic lifts ? Very anxious to get...

Good luck. Hope you get way more than the current bid. Does BAT allow reserves ?

I ran a one mile event in Texas right after I got my 5th-gen Camaro. I did not expect it to be a drag race, but after the first pass it seemed exactly like a drag race. A full mile is nothing compared to the space you need to reach top speed. I expected to reach 150, but knew that when I didn't...

I love the traditional cross-spoke look. But I hate the flush look of OEM wheels where this is no lip. I can't find the details now, but I was able to find a nice cross-spoke design with a very nice ~4" lip for my 5th-gen Camaro. I know chrome is out of style, but nobody wants the lip anymore...

Bump for everyone getting giddy about Corsa/AWE "systems". Spend 10% for 200% the experience with your local muffler shop. I'll post audio in a year or two after visiting @WONT TAP to get Kooks + tune. You'll hear me coming through your browser after that. :)

Grundy quoted me $1,236/year for $100,000. That's almost exactly what I pay for State Farm, but obviously SF is not committed to a specific value. I'll probably stick with it though.

Remember that since its under warranty, Cadillac roadside assistance will tow it for free to the nearest Caddy dealer. They even did that for me when I dented the front wheel - not even Cadillac's fault !!

Sure, things could be infinitely worse. But we should still vote to improve our collective lots. Legal weed is the only useful thing Biden could have done for me, and has failed miserably at that one thing !! Regardless of what you think about getting high, it should be about federal...

Congrats !! That is a lifetime for sure......hope it all works out from here.

Ouch. Sorry to hear it !! Should be an easy fix though........

There are threads here with info about ceramic pads. I swapped ceramic pads on a BMW I had years ago and the difference was astounding. I mean dust just disappeared.

Sorry to hear of your pain @My1stCadillac That is sad. I sure hope this one works........

:) So with my truly open pipes it really will be insanely loud. :) I'm considering it since I still have the valves and can calm things down when necessary. I can hardly wait..........

I finally found the truck equivalent. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/04/gmc-sierra-extra-big-bed-debuts-for-those-who-want-a-real-work-truck/

Even with the valves open, stock muffler reduces the sound. My custom bypass mufflers are louder, but not by much. @A Blackwing - i know its subjective, but how much louder is your car with the headers + stock muffler compared to stock everything ? Kooks without cats is the only thing left to...
