    20” wheel/tire specs for 5BW?

    Very sweet. How is ride quality with those springs? Looks to be over an inch of lowering?

    20” wheel/tire specs for 5BW?

    Cool. Any photos of your car? Owner wheel and suspension mods seem to be rare on this car for some reason. Not a lot of photos out there!

    20” wheel/tire specs for 5BW?

    Nice. Are you at stock ride height? I am thinking of a slight lowering. Any rubbing?

    In a dilemma… Help.

    I understand that when just using pdr. Well, I guess I wasted $1600. Didn’t even know about SVR. I assume that is a standard feature on a 5BW?

    In a dilemma… Help.

    I think this thread suggests otherwise? https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/is-pdr-a-option.4026/

    In a dilemma… Help.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but the PDR can also act as a 360 dash cam? That’s why I optioned it on my 25, I have no intentions of tracking, but after installing integrated dash cams on prior vehicles, I’ll gladly pay $1600 not to do that again, and to have it fully invisible.

    Make Blackwing Great Again

    lol, embarrassing for me. I am so fixated on a 5BW in Drift that I didn’t notice it was a 4BW.

    Make Blackwing Great Again

    Rare beast being a 2025 in Drift with CF (can't tell if that CF1 or 2). What's your full spec? Are the 2025 BW side badges coming on the doors now? I think I missed seeing that before.

    20” wheel/tire specs for 5BW?

    20” wheels don’t seem to be popular around here. I’m curious about width and offset specs, and most importantly what tire sizes will work. There’s a thread raging on the Gen Discussion forum about no quality all season tires being available for the OE 19s. Since I’m considering the appearance...

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    However all the videos I’ve seen of reviewers raving about the PP had the Cup 2R tires installed. I’d wager those tires alone would transform the handling. Then you figure the rest of the components were dialed in around the 2Rs. Then you realize how massively impractical R compound tires are...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    Some models are AWD, some are not. Some have switchable AWD/RWD. The point is: a set of A/S tires allows the BW to fully deliver on its sedan promises. If warm, dry condition driving is the limiting factor of safely driving this car, why compromise with the form and weight of a sedan, just get...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    Yet somehow BMW, Audi, and Mercedes can claim the same status and give us the best of both worlds. High Performance with the practicality of a daily driver. As previously stated here, if you’re looking just for high performance, there are much better vehicle value propositions. The value...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    I think expectations of safely driving in cold, wet weather (not necessarily snow), is not unreasonable. Again, this is a sedan with all the creature comforts (and weighing 4k lbs). It doesn’t really fit the form factor of a weekend toy.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    Allocations either have no constraints or can come with specific constraints. In other words, when an allocation is issued by the factory, it can come with options constraints that limit what can be ordered by the dealer. Or they can be issued with no constraints at all and the car can be...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    My accepted order has CF2, which requires CF1, so probably not?

    Track rats rejoice!

    So maybe you get a $7-800 credit opting for the 4S vs 2R, that leaves about $8k that you’re paying for some software and control arm tweaks that won’t perform nearly as well as when running anything other than 2R tires. The 2R tires are the key ingredient to the handling portion of the V8V...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    From what I can see it is already at status 3400 with a Target Production Week of 1/13/2025. Drift with full carbon 2, red caliper CCB, some aftermarket bronze-ish wheels, slight lowering, and an exhaust, I think I’ll be happy for a while. Thanks.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I’m having a real hard time seeing that could be the case. I thought dealers had just a couple days max to use the allocation or lose it. That means they would have locked in my order almost 5 days before telling me. They didn’t even have my deposit on file anymore, and knew I was working with...

    Track rats rejoice!

    All the positive press reviews I’ve seen of cars with the PP have also had the Cup2R tires. Those tires alone will dramatically positively transform the handling of any car… in optimum conditions. And there lies the rub for me. There’s no way I can justify running 2R tires on the street, I’d...
