    Anyone switch from a V8 AMG to a CT5 Blackwing?

    You’re forgetting to add on the c&b fee and factor in the subtraction of the spring mountain driving school.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    i was suppose to be on their waitlist from way back in 2021 and never got contacted back. at that time they had 1 person that had been one of the first 250 that got a car and that earned them another allocation that they had already wasted on an auto car that was locked in the production...

    Carbon Ceramic replacement cost

    There is no track prep guide like other GM cars. Just a reference in owners manual. As I said before, you remove the regular shields & replace them with ones that protect the ball joint from heat. You do NOT remove the shields from the CCB per this guy you may have heard of called Mirza. Check...

    Carbon Ceramic replacement cost

    the steels come with smaller shields that protect the balljoints from heat. per what you quoted from me and per what came in my trunk and is on my car now (and has been gone over several times in this forum). if you removed the shields from the CCB you'd then subject the balljoint to the heat...

    Carbon Ceramic replacement cost

    You must know more than the people that designed and engineered it then lol. Must not have included those for no reason at all on the CCB…

    Carbon Ceramic replacement cost

    I've done a straight comparison between the 2 on the exact same track on the exact same day. The instructors at spring mountain have done a straight comparison. GM has done a straight comparison (and have stated through numerous media outlets the track capabilities are the same). Again, watch...

    if it looks like what was rumored in camo then absolutely not. i may be needing to go back through the rodeo in 2024, though, as i'm pretty sure i gotta lemon law my 2022

    Carbon Ceramic replacement cost

    The sensors are for pad wear. There are no sensors regarding heat. That message pops up from an algorithm calculating if the car thinks things are too hot or not based on calculations it’s made based on assumptions. Perhaps the other person has a different driving style and/or was in a different...

    That warning is based on an algorithm. There are no actual sensors. The pedal is also brake by wire so anything you feel is completely simulated.

    As a follow up to all this I’ve tracked my steels enough to already be on my third front set & second rear. Zero fade. Zero issues. I drive both a CCB equipped car & steel car at spring mountain. Couldn’t tell a difference & the instructors said the same. I’d suggest anyone looking or wanting...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    one in kansas. the same people own the 2 closest to me so I don't have much choice and the 3rd one that is also within an hours drive of me are total dicks. they wouldn't let me drive around the parking lot or block a regular non BW ct5 V when I told them I was looking at ordering a BW b/c I...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    if the pistons were broken, yes. if the pistons are scored and have damaged the walls, no. it would just increase oil consumption, possibly reduce compression/boost, and certainly lower how long the motor is strong for. same thing with the bearings. wear/damage could have & likely did happen to...

    i saw a ct5 in that color few months back and this is an extremely accurate statement

    Tapout tuning CT5 blackwing build review (now WITH videos!)

    the reason the 4 had such great results is that it essentially tricks the ecu into making the turbos build more boost. that same trick won't work on the supercharged 5. if you read the hagerty article mirza states that they told the engineer that designed the current intake that it was...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Got the car back today. Dealer wasn’t even going to do an oil change even though the instrument cluster stated it needed one due to the oil overheating. Got them to do that as well as finish installing the parking sensor module. They put it in last time, but neglected to do the programming to...

    They already did it with the xt4 so porting over that already done software rewrite would not be much
