Glad you’re protecting the paint with ppf epidermis layer derm doc!

I placed an order in 2/23, revised order for 2024 model year in 6/23, accepted for production 7/23, built in 10/23, hopefully arriving in 11/23. I went with a high volume out of state dealer, does your dealer get a fair # of blackwings? If not, consider order with a different dealer

So the winter setup will be squared. I assume this is better for winter traction. Any downside compared to stock staggered setup?

Hi Dinkman! Small world! Nice seeing you here as opposed to on the Audi forums. I ordered a blackwing (arriving soon) from LaFontaine Cadillac in Michigan. They are an msrp dealer and pleasure to deal with. My salesperson is Jose Martinez who is awesome. They have 3 manual ct4-v blackwings...

Thanks for weighing and posting. I think 26 lbs with tire is not bad at all.

Surprised the 6MT is on constraint still. I’m seeing newer 2024 ones coming with 6MT. BTW, what is your impression driving the cyber yellow 6MT? Enjoying it? I assume it confirms your decision to continue with new order.

Thank you for hooking up a lot of people! I am noticing a bunch of cars coming through with all the carbon fiber packages. and upgraded carbon back seats. Any constraints currently?

I don't know if it is still the case but last year when I called Napleton and Zeigler, they both wanted anywhere from $10-20k over to order a CT5 BW. I found an out of state dealer at MSRP.

Some more pics of coastal blue metallic

Don’t forget your units, 105 kmph 😉

Great spec with sunroof delete as well. No ceramic brakes but otherwise perfect.

First coastal blue I’ve seen….I like it. Seems to change hues with the lighting. Thanks for posting.

I think you have to factor in the mileage as well...also the days of selling a car used at close to MSRP are gone unfortunately.

Love the black badges

Was the manual transmission on constraint when you ordered?

Nice build! Love the sunroof delete. Interesting how quickly certain constraints change...when did your order get accepted?

I still have a B7 RS4…Audi’s pinnacle sedan with AWD and manual and V8…they have definitely lost their way in past decade.

It is correct. The top tier semi-aniline seats have the V-logo waffle pattern on top as opposed to the lower part of the backrest which the intermediate tier seats have.

Glad you were able to fix it up. You would think for $100k+ cars GM/Cadillac would at least have a complete QA and remedy the car before shipping it out. This is part of the reason why I haven't returned to American cars until now as I can't resist the Blackwing engine/drivetrain/manual trans...

A Are you sure it is the same as riptide? If you look up coastal blue metallic (it was on the buick encore in the past), it looks different than riptide.
