    1st AutoX event of 2024

    Well, the Central Florida Region (Orlando/Tampa) kicked off the 2024 season today with an event at the Orange County Convention Center. Fairly chilly start (for Florida) in the morning led to perfect weather for the later run groups. 1st event on the Falken RT660s and I have to say they are...

    CT5-V TPC PS4S

    Well, no luck finding any of these. Tried Tire Rack, Discount Tire and local dealers. Tire Rack says their system shows no manufacturing date in their system which means no available tires for 6+ months. The standard PS4S is avail, but the TPC version is not.

    iPhone charging woes

    Turns out I’m not crazy. In the last few weeks, I have resorted to using the cable when in the car. It’ll charge for about 10 seconds and then quit. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/16/23963780/iphone-15-wireless-charging-gm-chevy-buick-cadillac

    Bleeding BW5 Supercharger

    Anyone found a way to bleed the supercharger without the engine running? On the Camaro, the supercharger pump was a relay you could jumper to get it to run with the car off. I have the Dedicated Motorsports adapter for the bleed port. I can confirm it fits fine. When I went to find the relay...

    Sebring Full Couse, TNIA

    Was able to sneak in a track day despite all the crazy around here. Sebring Full Course with the Track Night In America group. Ran advanced. Only 24 cars. :D This is my fastest from 2nd session, 2:38.9...not terribly fast. Still a little freaked about putting this pricey masterpiece at risk...

    Daytona TNIA April 20th

    Finally had the chance to take the Blackwing out to a 'big track'. The weather today was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees, blue sky, breezy. Daytona TNIA has been plagued the last few years with monsoon weather, so this was a nice change. Met two other Blackwing owners...one 4 and one 5 (with...

    Blackwings really need a 'Performance Supplement'

    As the delivery of my Unicorn inches ever closer, I started reading the Owners Manual. It's really frustrating that a car this performance oriented doesn't have a stand-alone High Performance/Track Supplement like the Camaro or Corvette. Not only is all the information scattered around the...

    New member with CT5 Blackwing ordered!

    Greetings, all! So happy to have found this board. All I could find at first was another Cadillac board with a depressing dearth of the good stuff. My 1st Cadillac. I have kicked myself for years for not getting a CTS-V Wagon, so I didn't hesitate this time with the final hurrah of the ICE...
