    CT5-V 2025- Lost Speed Limit Sign Reading Capability- Soft Reset Brought It Back.

    On the older 'tiny screen' models the speed limit data is pulled from the map SD card so even when you're in the 'radio quiet zone' in West Virginia, you can still tell how f@#$#^ you are if a cop pulls you over :P PS: Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia is 100% worth the 2+ hours without...

    Rumor: Buick Sedans Might Be Back Soon, Based on the 2027 Cadillac CT5

    If Cadillac had a reputation as being Grandpa's car and it took 20+ years to change that, Buick will probably need double that time if they want to break into the younger performance-oriented market. Buick is about the last US brand you'd associate with exciting.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Summer tires and new wheels re-installed. Feels good to have the ability to get silly again even if traffic almost never allows it :(

    Track Mode

    That is how you're supposed to do it, but there is a warning in the manual about hard driving with traction control disabled. At Spring Mountain the instructors said GM engineers also told them the same thing. GM engineers recommended leaving the cars in Race 2 and not fully disabling TC.

    What driving mode do yall use for heavy rain on public streets?

    Snow/ice is the most proactive intervention the computers can provide. It also limits throttle response and torque to limit the wheel slip as much as possible. You get shown this at Spring Mountain.

    LS6 Manual Blackwing?

    An F1 livery sticker pack would be very popular I'd assume.

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    I could be written expressly for end users and be a sort of operating manual. If only, right?

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Yeah if you're somehow getting 32MPG, the range should be more than 121mi shouldn't it?

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

    Someone laid it out in another thread: Asking for rectangular tips like OEM would require additional expensive tooling and each tip would have to be a different shape making that cost even more. Add to this that there just aren't that many Blackwings and even fewer people who would be up for an...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    How to jump a battery

    OK maybe you shouldn't be offering to connect things to your car or you need to re-read the manual a few more times. But in case you really really really want to do it: red cable goes to #7 (after you remove the red plastic cover), and black goes to #9. Connections happen at the end of lines 7...

    How to jump a battery

    Per the manual, 9 points at the negative terminal you are meant to use for jump starts and trickle charging. On the 2025 CT4 manual, this is at pages 298-299.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Oof. My PPF guy told me only "touchless" car washes and even then keep them to a minimum.
