It's a shell game. They moved the tax from one bucket to the other (perhaps making one bucket larger). The customer pays in either case. Quoting from your reference: So indirectly incurred to customers (via the base vehicle price). You seem to think Cadillac is operating a charity (this would...

Come on. Unless your window sticker didn't show a dollar amount for it (hint: it did) you paid a gas guzzler tax. Let's see, the engine and transmission are not line items; does that mean we aren't paying for them? I've looked at many 2022, 2023, and 2024 window stickers; the gax guzzler tax...

The tax is based on EPA fuel mileage and has been there since day one. Here are window stickers from two 2022's, one A10 and one M6: The tax is is shown as $1700 and $2100 in the lower left "fuel economy" boxes. In 2022 this was included in the base price. Starting in 2024, the tax was broken...

It's a federal thing (reference). I checked two random 2025 window stickers from Sewell Dallas, an A10 and a M6 and both had it ($1700). I don't really understand why the price is shown as $2100 in the online configurator... A neat feature of my '07 Z06 is that it is rated at 505 HP but was not...

I do check amazon which sometimes is cheaper for Delco parts but for Mobil 1 supercar, amazon is way more than rockauto.

I don't see it mentioned in this thread but when I was poking around, by far the cheapest place to get Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 is rockauto.com ($7.47/qt). I believe it's also a good place to pick up UPF64R filters. They also carry a lot of GM/Delco part numbers and are worth checking when shopping.

There's this: 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Gets More Standard Features

(Am I the only one who habitually skips over the AI results when using google?)

The percentages are the somehow the same for manuals and automatics. Which I find interesting given the the manual transmissions are made in mexico, automatics in the US.

When I've visited Spring Mountain I've always hoped for a couple of hours of rain; you learn way more in the wet than the dry.

Some points I've picked up: Order status is key: at 1100 you're just an "order in the system" waiting for an allocation. I believe constraints apply to specific allocations (so dealers know if advance if a specific allocation will "work" with a specific order) dealers lose any allocations they...

2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Gets More Standard Features

A single 85553528 weighs 93 grams (3.3 oz) on my kitchen scale.

I agree about buying OEM but disagree about ebay; I've bought plenty of genuine GM parts there. If the lug nut I got is a fake, it's a really good fake.

If it's USB-A, you could use a sd or microsd card with one of these:

I see at least one report that the 2025 SVR uses USB instead of an SD card. Can anybody confirm/deny? (A picture would be a bonus!)

I ordered a single lug nut from ebay; it's stamped with

Maybe this from Road & Track? It's not very specific...

After looking at the top view of the oil pan, I think the hole is machined as part of the oil pump pickup circuit.
