Yes yea I’m not sure it woulda helped there either. Would love to talk in person next time you’re out at HPT

I always keep mine in sport as sport will let the car slide some, but it still has stability control. Race 1/2 don’t. I’d suspect very few can run a faster time in one of the race modes vs sport. At spring mountain even the instructors run in sport mode during demo laps without the cars doing...

Anyone done the enclosed trailer option and had better luck with the paint on arrival? For me it’d be another $2k option to add on

It looks that GM uses their own patent rather than the Nissan one. Other manufacturers can pay Nissan to use it but GM went another direction US20160377176A1 - Active rev-matching for manual transmissions - Google Patents

No. Supposedly another manufacturer (maybe Nissan?) had a patent on the rev match and to get around it the system can’t be on at startup. At least that’s what they said at spring mountain.it’s possible that fuel economy testing and emissions play a role too. I’m sure some sort of relay could...

I circled in yellow the wall that got hit. From an aerial it certainly doesn’t make a lot of sense for it to be there. I know there’s a decent amount of elevation change in that area so maybe they were protecting from rolling over. I’ll need to take a better look next time at the area. See...

That carousel you can take in the 60s Heartland park in Kansas

Yes. Not sure what happened. Never seen a car go off there especially that way. I’ve seen lots of other cars go off in several other spots that are common, but never there. It is coming out of a long carousel & best I can guess is they hit the gas too hard too early and the tail came out...

They tested over 20 compounds before arriving at the ones that are on the production car. We Drive the 668-HP 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, and It's Bombastic Fantastic It seems highly unlikely the bean counters had anything to do with the pads chosen. Have you priced them? You don’t make CCB...

100% stock cumulative 24 hours of testing not 24 hours straight. If you go to spring mountain they’ll tell you some interesting stories about them testing out different stuff fir the BW like various dive plan designs on the 4...

Happened right in front of me & caught it on video on my catalyst. Still has the temp tags on it too! They luckily walked away. Unclear if they had track insurance or not.

No

FWIW there are actually 2 versions of the TPC spec tires. One has the acoustical foam (like the factory fitted) and one does not. This would be in addition to the regular 4s tire that also comes in the same size. If I were hard up for tires I would likely just roll with the regular 4s as they...

You are way overdriving and/or overheating the tires if only got that many days out of the front. If you plow the front tires, especially when overheated, the 4s are known to do that. I nuked a front set in 1 day b/c I was an idiot pushing it too hard. Pull off once they hit 38psi, try not to...

Just do it. Removes a TON of sound deadening.

the brake pads are extremely easy to replace. it takes longer to get the car up in the air and the wheel on/off than it does to change the pads. it requires no special tools either.

I’ve tracked a lot more than this my 5 for a fraction of these costs…

That article is only talking about the warnings. The factory compound is part of that calculation as well as many other like the stability control, e diff, abs function, etc. this is brake by wire not a normal system.

The sensors are just warnings. They are a simple wear through sensor that when your pads are almost worn out the sensors also wears through and breaks a circuit. When that circuit breaks the warning comes up. That’s all it does.

Collecting data from other sensors and feeding that into an algorithm to guess is exactly what it’s doing lol. Pad fade and fluid boil are two completely different problems that are going to be detected differently. Also as soon as you put on different pads what the computer sees as that certain...
