    Cadillac F1 entry

    Should be on ESPN for most races. Typically the US tracks and Canada will be on ABC also if I recall.

    Cadillac F1 entry

    Could have done a lot worse for sure. Better than most starting teams. Checo is still in his prime, Bottas is probably past his. They're likely going to struggle anyway for a few years. Would have been better if they could have secured a Mercedes engine too instead of Ferrari but I suppose they...

    ORDER TO DELIVERY TIME

    Maybe I can help. Are you asking what has been the typical order to delivery timeframe recently?

    Z06 to CT5V BW

    The OP wasn't asking about the C8 Z06 so not sure how that got into the conversation but... While true there is a temporary stop sale, "too many" gas fires is quite the exaggeration. The Z06 has been out since 2023 and they're just now looking into this issue. The reality is that it only takes...

    Full Custom Exhaust

    Depends on what you want. If you just want louder, then go with headers and high flow cats. If you just want a better sound, I would wait for AWE to finish their catback exhaust.

    Blown engine

    My dealer hasn't touched my car yet, but Im quite certain no dealer is going to install the wrong engine.

    Blown engine

    I had no doubt before the part numbers. That dealership would have been in a lot of trouble if they installed the wrong long block. They aren't that incompetent.

    I'm not concerned at all that they replaced your engine with an LT4 long block. I'm certain they did.

    We'll never know, you have your opinion, and I have mine apparently. GM, like most manufacturers will continue to support a vehicle for up to 10 years after production which is the industry standard so I fully expect GM to have a surplus of LT4 long blocks out there for MANY years to come.

    Blown engine

    It could have been at another dealer or likely GM has these in a warehouse ready to ship to dealers as needed. With the ZL1 and C7 Z06 no longer being produced, I'm sure there's a surplus of LT4 long blocks available right now.

    Of course. They replaced it with an LT4 long block.

    Blown engine

    There was no need to replace every component of the engine. They likely replaced the long block which is where the failure was. Keeps cost down that way.

    Blown engine

    The cooling capacity in these cars only needs to be good enough to keep them at the desired temp. To my knowledge the ZL1 has better cooling than the Blackwing anyway so there goes that theory. What does matter is IAT temps which the blower intercooler bricks have control over and the cooling...

    Blown engine

    There's no difference in intercooler brick size on all LT4s, Z06, ZL1, or Blackwing, the only difference between them is the lids. While the taller lid on the Blackwing does help very slightly with airflow it was really only a restriction on the 2015-2016 Z06. I believe the timing increases are...

    I have seen up to 32 degrees of timing in some dyno tests on Youtube. I agree with your assessment this could be a potential cause for these failures. The tuning is VERY aggressive as stated by top tuners. These cars do have much better throttle response than the ZL1 and I agree that it seems...

    Blown engine

    Has the blown motor registry grown beyond 16? Last time I checked that thread, it was showing 16 engines. That's a VERY small number given that there are roughly 6,000 or more of these cars built.

    For anyone using wheel spacers...

    5mm is safe, Discount has silly rules.

    Naa. Not only different plants but different parts completely.

    For anyone using wheel spacers...

    This. 5-6mm should be max on stock lugs.

    Curious to hear what your dealership or GM determines was the cause of failure.
