    CT5-V Might be selling my BW - any interest on here?

    So something has come up for me and I might be looking to sell the Blackwing here pretty soon. For anybody who's not familiar it has the rare black diamond tricoat color that was only offered in 2024 and it has pretty much every option. The car currently has just over 1200 mi on it with an oil...

    CT5-V Corsa cat-back exhaust installation tips & pointers, along with my thoughts/review (short video included)

    Well, I finally had the time and weather to install my Corsa cat-back exhaust this past weekend, and I wanted to share some info I feel is important regarding the installation. The install itself isn't anything too difficult, but some parts of the instructions need to be clarified, some parts...

    Did you name your Blackwing?

    I will start by saying that I have never named a car in my nearly 30 years of owning them. On the Cadillac app you can name the car, so I decided to do something that wasn't generic. If you did something similar, share your car's name and why you chose it. Name: Adamas Adamas is from ancient...

    CT5 aftermarket taillights anyone? Even some that are a GM product...

    I am curious if anyone has tried the aftermarket taillights that are tinted, or even "clear", like how Porsche offers them from the factory that only have color when lit. Or even the GM part # ones that are on 404parts.com? I think they could look really good, contemplating them for my BDT...

    Anyone have these red/black Cadillac emblems?

    https://404parts.com/collections/cadillac-ct5-black-out-collection/products/ct5-black-out-emblem-package-copy I am wondering if these would look good on a black diamond tricoat car with red calipers? I am wanting to do a blacked-out emblem of some kind, just not the full black/black badges...

    CT5-V Why no ZL1 Add-ons brand rock guards?

    I had the ZL1 Add-ons brand rock guards (mudflaps) on my GT350R and they were just right. Not too big, didn't stand out, but helped keep rock chips at bay from the sticky tires. I haven't found any similar options for the 5V, any thoughts or recommendations?

    Anyone located near White Plains, NY? (Pepe Cadillac)

    I am purchasing a new 5V Blackwing from Pepe and I was hoping to get it paint corrected and some PPF done on the front before I pick it up and drive it home 6 hours. I was curious if anyone around there is familiar with any reputable shops that I could trust to do a good job on that? Any...

    CT5-V On the fence 50/50 between Argent Silver and Radiant Red - convince me 😄

    I have an order accepted for a 2025 5V Blackwing in Argent, but I'm not sure if silver is really what I want. I always thought I would go for radiant red, but the argent silver with graphite wheels and carbon fiber options looks so sharp. Post any photos of either color and make your case for...

    Any pics or videos of Deep Space Metallic on a real car?

    I've seen a lot of simulated images, but no real definitive pictures of it in person yet. Anyone have something that they can share? I'm thinking it might look pretty cool on a 5V Blackwing with black wheels and black trim.

    For Sale SOLD RR14YS Brisk spark plugs for 5V Blackwing

    Selling a set of 8 brand new, never opened spark plugs. These are one step colder than stock and go well for a car that has a setup running a slightly higher boost pressure, in the 10 to 12 PSI range. I paid $110 for these, selling for $80 shipped. These are the best kind to use as recommended...

    For Sale Sto-N-Sho removable front license plate bracket 5V

    I ended up going a different route and didn't need this bracket. This is for a 5V blackwing with the carbon fiber front splitter. It installs in about 5 minutes or less and then the plate can be taken on and off in about 20 seconds. This is excellent for when you have to pass a state inspection...

    CT5-V Rear speaker shelf rattles like crazy with bass

    When I play songs that have any substantial amount of bass, the rear shelf rattles unbelievably. I've never had a vehicle rattle this much, is this a common thing with everyone else's car or does mine have something loose? It all looks fine, but it makes so much noise you can barely hear the...

    CT5-V Battery voltage at idle and while driving seems low

    So I just got my '22 5V blackwing on Friday and I'm getting used to it, has 6,600 miles. One weird thing I've noticed is that at idle and while driving, the battery voltage is hanging out at 12.5, which is very unusual. I just drove it for 20 minutes and when I got back to my garage and the...

    Calling all pics & opinions of Black Diamond Tricoat (BDT)

    Having thoughts about a '24 5V Blackwing in BDT, but have never seen one in person, and photos are difficult to judge from for the most part. If you have any pics of this color, or video, on any car, Blackwings preferred though, please share here. Also, share your opinion or descriptions of...

    My quick BW story up until now...

    So, I've been looking at Blackwings for a couple of years now, and had an order in at a dealer in upstate New York for almost 15 months with no action. I had modified my order several times to be different colors and options, and then the last messages I had texted with my sales guy was that I...

    Anyone considered re-gearing the manual, or maybe change rear-end ratio?

    I know the 5V manual suffers from the same issue as the GT4 or Spyder from Porsche: the speeds for 1st and 2nd are crazy because the gears are so long. 58mph in 1st gear is nuts, and 83 in 2nd. I am sure this has been discussed, but I did some searches and came up with nothing somehow. Is it...
