The fastest I have ever been on the ground, was about 215 miles/hour. That was liftoff speed of the B-47 in 1961. 490 mph at 2500 feet. I was 23. A long time ago in a galaxy far away.
I will be 86 in May. My days of going fast (and a few other things) are over, but I appreciate the acceleration of my 5BW when I join the interstate highway. I have had people pull up along side of me and want to race. I ignore them. You don’t have to race when you know you would win.
I don’t know what the power to weight ratio for each of the BWs is, but it’s probably similar. However I can testify that the acceleration of the 5BW will push you back in the seat, and require you to ease off the thrust before you get the attention of the law enforcement agencies. And allows me...
Since both of those go through a satellite antenna, I suspect that they share a common problem. I suggest contacting OnStar. They probably have had this problem before and should be able to help. It might also be a software issue. In any event, OnStar would be the first place I would try.
I think you are confusing my experience with the little used Kubota tractor and my experience with the 5 BW. The engine failure and replacement in the Cadillac CT5BW was completely covered by the warranty. Sewell Cadillac of Dallas picked the car up at my house, brought me a loaner, replaced...
My dealer contact was through the sales rep, who told me that there were several others who had similar (engine failure) problems. She didn’t go into details. I got the impression that they didn’t want to advertise it.
There is no telling about the level of quality control in the subcontractors...
The $75 was only because I wanted to take the car to my house. If I had wanted to wait for the dealership to send a wrecker from Dallas, I would not have had to pay anything. I think there was a total cost somewhere in the paperwork but I don’t remember the exact amount. It was about $50,000...
The battery and starter were toast because… ok, I’ll start from the beginning. I was driving along. Cruse control was engaged at 55. All was right with the world. Then the car started to slow down. My first thought was that the cruise control had disengaged. As luck would have it there was a...
Good luck. I hope you are successful. If not, a conversation with a local TV station would probably get their attention. FYI. Sewell has a reputation for excellent customer service.
The replacement engine was built by the same company that built the first one. All Sewell did was install the new one. They must have done it correctly because I have not had any problems with it. I got a personalized TX plate. 0260N4S. Zero to 60 in 4 seconds.
