As shbox said, That's the cap over the intercooler bleeder port. There's a Schrader valve in the inside so no coolant can leak unless the valve is pushed down. You were right to put the cap back on to keep dirt and debris out.

Wow! I must be living in an alternate universe. I have more fun driving my 5BW than any car I've ever owned. I love the tall gears. I also have a C8 Stingray hard top convertible. Yes, this car corners better than my BW but it is no comparison when it comes to driving pleasure. My BW wins...

Last week, when I took my BW in to have the battery tested, the dealer brought me home and picked me up in a LYRIQ. I have to say, it was a very comfortable ride with a quiet interior, but there was nothing about the car to get excited about. Even the driver admitted he would rather drive my BW...

You wouldn’t think a subtle change to the color of a side marker would make a big difference in the overall appearance—but it does.

Until the infrastructure is in place to make EV charging convenient, I don't see the EV market being anything but niche. Yes, home charging can be convenient, but what about all the apartment complexes and multifamily dwellings? I've have yet to see one apartment complex with more than one...

I'm sure Chevy thinks the Corvette is in the same league as the Porsche and therefore thinks it can sell Corvettes with the same sales tactics that Porsche uses.

If they reduce the brake dust by 50%, it will be well worth the switch.

I just received front and back Carbotech 1521 low-dust brake pads. The pads come with the slot for the wear sensors. I have them going on June 4th. I'll let you know how that goes. So far I've been very impressed with the company. I ordered the pads off the Carbotech website. Got a call...

I'm on my second car with the LT4. The low-end torque out of this engine is addicting as hell!

No. There was no chatter when the transmission was cool. I experienced it the most on my ZL1 when the outside temps got above 90 degrees and I had driven the car for a while.

If I’m paying $150K for a car, I damn well better get some creature comforts like memory seats, heated and ventilated seats, blind spot sensors, a front camera, etc. This whole 1, 2, and 3 interior trim setup drives me crazy about the Corvette. The Camaro ZL1 and Cadillac Blackwings somehow...

Having owned two cars with Tremec 6060 transmissions, I’ve noticed that when the transmission gets hot—such as from spirited driving—it tends to exhibit some clutch chatter when taking off from a stop. I haven’t noticed it as much on my BW as I did on my 2017 Camaro ZL1. But in all fairness, the...

Here's my list of mods: Smoked side markers from Savage Cadillac Carbon Fiber Supercharger Cover Front Shock Tower Covers Blackwing Black/Color front/Back emblem kit. The previous owner: wrapped the body of the car in a battleship gray wrap. Had ppf installed over the entire front end, side...

Wasn't a parasitic draw. The battery had a bad cell. The dealer replaced the battery under warranty. Just so everyone knows, the latest Cadillac battery test performed by the dealer takes 2 hours to run. I took my car in yesterday for a battery test expecting it to take under an hour. I...

I think it's the photos. When you see a BW in person with the CF2, it's very noticeable - especially the CF rear diffuser. It's gorgeous! Someone asked if I had a photo of the rear end without the CF2. I did find one I saved in my photos because I liked the wheels. The photos below provide a...

This is why my BW is currently at the dealer undergoing the 2-hour battery test.

That clearly is its intended purpose. The problem is when the battery completely runs down after the vehicle has not been driven for 12 days, not several months of storage. That's when the thing becomes useless.

Unfortunately, I don’t.

Here's my friend's BW with the CF1 package only.

I don't have a C8 Z06 but I do have a '21 C8 Stingray HTC and 5BW. For me personally, the biggest disappointment I have with my C8 is the damn DCT. I despise it. The shift points suck (way too short in first and second gear). There are times when it shifts harder than it should. The...
