Nice to see you use the car as GM engineered the BW to be track capable. The must/optional/wants change depending on your skill level. Since you will be in novice, my list applies to cars running at slower speeds on track. 1A. Some people will argue that high temp brake fluid is required. But...

Lowering the car will increase negative camber. With that you should easily get to -2.5 front. The only variable is the aftermarket camber bolts. I suspect they are not installed correctly and are limiting the camber instead of increasing it. I would recommend removing the aftermarket camber...

Sorry you had your front spoiler trashed by a pothole. This is the exact scenario I had in my head when I decided not to get CF1 but instead just to add the CF rear spoiler separately after delivery. My assumption was that someday I would eventually have something hit the front spoiler and...

Griots has a Bug Barricade product that works the same way as Pam but should be safe for the car.

If you are running novice group, you are fine running the car as is. Just add some extra pressure in the front tires to prevent them rolling over (since there is not a lot of camber on the stock alignment). Once you get faster and start braking harder, then high temp fluid is necessary. Better...

Great lap time! Laguna Seca is my favorite track on the west coast. Hoping to get to NorCal in Oct to hit Sonoma and Laguna. I have not yet been there in my 5BW.

Weird. Might be your browser. Try this direct link to see 2025 CT5BW with Precision Package. https://www.gmbuildcounts.com/vehicles?model=CT5&year=2025&page=1&trim=V-SERIES+BLACKWING&rpo=V8V

Scroll to the right. There is a column called Packages/Options. There you can select Precision Package. I missed this as well as it is not clear there are extra columns to the right. The last column is Country. So if you see that then you have reached the last column. Hopefully the dev adds...

These look great and a reasonable price if you get the full discount. But this is not for me. We instituted a “no more crap in the house” policy that we so far have been adhering to.

When I sold my Ford back to the dealership, they told me to cancel the extended warranty and get some money back as they do not offer any extra if the car has an extended warranty.

I like a little toe in on the front. It makes the car less darty on the freeway. But the trade off is that turning feel is not quite as sharp or immediate as you get with a little toe out.

Yes, thanks for the lowdown on OnGrid. Generally you do get what you pay for. The marquee car clubs (PCA, ACNA and BMWCCA) plus HOD seem to be the best bets in the PNW. Of course they are also the priciest.

Looks like this is with OnGrid. How are they? The advanced groups are all open passing. That makes me nervous.

You can get a Road America specialty plate in Wisconsin? That is awesome!

Ugh. I am on version 12 from 2024. Car says there are no updates available. I will need to take in to the dealer to see what is going on.

New tread depth on Cup 2 tires are probably no more than 6/32”. So the tires fronts are not that worn. The rears are more concerning with the numbers not being consistent across the tread.

This is not the car for you. You will always wonder if you settled and should have waited the right car. Yes, waiting sucks. But you will be happier in the end if you do.

Track use only is just a legal term in this case. If GM said they were for the street then they would have to crash test the car with the part on it to see how it behaves in a crash. They obviously do not want to be bothered doing that. Similar to how aftermarket sells parts as “off road only”...

There is some confusion as people are talking about different things. GM has a recommended bedding procedure for their CCB brakes (i.e. brake pads used on their carbon ceramic rotors). The Carbotech bedding procedure is for their ceramic brake pads used on iron rotors. So two different...

The car arrives set for street driving from the factory. On my car, the front camber was -1.4* and -1.1*. The rear camber was -1.1* and -0.7*. The toe was off both front and rear with the rear toe being way off.
