    Well done. Congratulations. The dealer should make the paint good. If not, there are quality paint shops that can. They could even do a 2 tone. THAT would make it one of a kind. Enjoy.

    I am not denigrating the Corvettes. They are great cars and fun to drive. I had a 2005. The problem I had was, I thought it was noisy and getting in and out was difficult. I think the 5BW is an improvement on both of those issues. And the 5BW performance is spectacular.

    I loved the “Sun roof and goggles” line.

    Six feet 7? I am thinking that the 4BW may be a little close. A 5BW might give you a little more room. I used to be 6’2”. Somewhere along the way, I’ve gotten an inch shorter. Probably all the years of driving airplanes. Or just being 85 years old.

    25 5BW Coming

    As long as you are good out of state, check with Sewell Cadillac of Dallas Tx. They have a reputation for great customer service. Besides, a trip to Texas would let you get some great Texas Barbecue.

    Welcome. My suggestion is that before you do anything else, find out if the dealer charges you MSRP or if the dealer adds money to the MSRP. Some dealers add money to the MSRP. If your dealer does that, walk or run away. Do not do business with them. The add on can be $5,000 or more. I don’t...

    Looking at a new CT4-V Blacking - Anyone bought one recently?

    Whatever you do, do not pay more than MSRP. Some dealers will rip you off. Find one that will not.

    New 6spd 24 CT5 Blackwing from Austin, TX (CEL P0420)

    Sewell is well known to provide great customer service. The engine failed about 5 miles from my house. I paid a wrecker service $75 to take it to my house. Sewell sent a truck to get it and brought me a loaner car. Ten days later they brought my car back and took the loaner home. No complaints...

    New 6spd 24 CT5 Blackwing from Austin, TX (CEL P0420)

    Not certain what “throwing codes” means, but I am the guy whose 22 CT5V BW engine came apart at about 4500 miles. Some internal part failed putting metal fragments in the oil and destroying the engine. Cadillac sent Sewell Cadillac of Dallas a new engine. Cost Cadillac about $50,000. Cost me...

    My new 2023 CT4-V Blackwing got delivered today

    This may be your first Cadillac, but it probably won’t be your last.

    Panama City, FL checking in.

    840 hp? That’s nothing. (Just kidding) There is a Hennessy 1000 HP engine available for the CT5 BW. Don’t know about the mileage. But if you can afford a 1000 hp engine, you are probably not concerned about paying for fuel. I’m satisfied with the 668 hp in my BW.

    Help -- Should I do it? New member check-in...

    I have no idea what those packages are, but personally, I would spend that money on beer, burgers and burritos.

    Purchasing a CT5-V Blackwing in FL

    I had an ATS -V with the Recaro seats. In my opinion, they were not as comfortable as the regular seats and certainly not worth the extra money. I got regular seats in my 23 CT5V BW and they are just fine. Of course, I’m 85, and the only racing I do is to get to the bathroom.

    I think that the carbon fiber package includes the seat backs. If you order the carbon fiber seat backs, AND the carbon fiber seat backs, you would subtract the carbon fiber seat back cost because it’s included in the package. At least I think that’s what it means.

    Hello From Houston Texas!

    That’s why God invented Auto Paint shops. They can make it any color you want. Life is good.
