By the way, there will be around 15 Cadillac V series cars attending this event this coming Saturday March 30th... CTS-V, CT4V-BW, CT5V-BW and a CTS-V wagon I think.

I am in and registered for the 9:30AM slot as well . I figure that BW qualify as Sportscars. I will inform members of the Philly V-CLUB. Maybe we can come in force for one of the days.

Does this count as a regular parking spot?

Hey folks! Sorry for staying out of touch, but my work has been kicking my butt for the last 3 weeks. If you are in the PA/NJ/DE area and own a Cadillac V Series, come out this Saturday March 30th! We are joining the Gateway Classic Cars & Chrome Event in the parking lot. The good news is...

Hey folks, I am coming out of hibernation for the season. The Philadephia Region Cadillac V-Club will have its first meet and greet of the season. We are jumping on the Gateway Classic Cars event on saturday March 30th. If you are in the NJ or Eastern PA area, come out and join us.

Cadillac/GM in their CT4V-BW service manual specifies the older oil - reference document 6131547: "Engine Oil 5W-30 - part #19293000". Yet, Mobil 1 claims that Cadillac performance vehicles come from the factory with Mobil 1 Supercar. Maybe they mean only the CT5V-BW. To me, that is...

Due to the ongoing confusion among Blackwing owners, Cadillac Dealers, and Cadillac customer service with regard to which oil and filters are GM/Cadillac approved and provide warranty coverage for the CT4V-BW, I have requested that the Cadillac V-CLUB seek clarification of these items from...

I will contribute my 2 cents to this discussion. Actually is more like $3000 in tires YTD. I will provide my data, my analysis and let you decide how to adjust your tire pressure to road course HPDE events ... Vehicle - CT4V-BW Mileage - 11,600 Track time - 15 days which is about 90 - 20...

The 5W-30 grade is the minimum spec. 0W-40 grade oil provides a wider range of operating temps, as in it's a better oil that the minimum required. The Cadillac V-Club had a presentation from Mobil-1 earlier this year. They provided a bunch of info. Including the fact that GM changed the...

I suggest that you use UPF63R - Part #12693541, it is the better filter. And while you are at it, make sure that the oil is Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40. You will need 7 Quarts. Of course the case is sold with 6 quarts. This stuff is hard to find. Filter online @ AutoZone Oil online @ Speedway...

Yes, the pinch weld adapter, rubber hockey puck, and a low-profile 3-ton jack does the trick for me. Lifting at the cutout location in the rocker panel CF. A square rubber piece would be better than the hockey puck.

Congrats on winning the battle at the end, even though your "win" is still costing you a bundle. Good choice on moving up to Porsche if you can make the price jump. You are right about the $70K price point for the CT4V-BW being the sweet spot. For me, I am going to try to wait it out...

Thanks to everyone that came out to the Cadillac V Performance Day @ NJMP. It was a small crowd this time, but we hope to get the word out next time. Those that attended had a good time and got to meet staff with a local Cadillac Dealer and well as participating in a photo shoot on Track and...

I attached a video provided by the dealer tech of my front brake change, sorry for the bad resolution, The brakes had 5 track days and 5700 miles on them. It seems that the rotor thickness is 33.4 LF and 32.5 LF. The tech said that the wear sensors we almost at the wear point. The new pads...

I need to find one of these shops in the Philadelphia area.

Based on my experience, I completely agree with Carguyshu and a few others that have posted. There are two issues that some owners are experiencing. The first is uneven pad deposits on CT4V-BW rotors. The second is dealer service departments that are providing based information to owners...

Two items. (1) The check engine light is way over to the right side and behind the steering wheel. The light has been going on and off for the last two weeks and I have to look behind the steering wheel to see it. It is also very faint in daylight. (2) For a "track capable" car, the CT4V-BW...

Same here, off-center slightly.

I think you are correct on the online parts cost. You can get Front rotors (Left and Right) with shipping for around $1500 and the front pad kit (Left, Right, and cables) for $350. Then Sign up for Online Service Manual access and download the install instructions for Brake Pad and Rotor...
