    Cop told

    Well yes, I was trusting that the computers would work things out and they did. The E Diff helped quite a bit in sweeper turns in the rain. Plus I used to race motorcycles and learned that the worst thing to do in a turn is to let up too much on the throttle. I was in sport mode the whole time...

    Cop told

    So I was going across I68 in Md this weekend Trooper got me with 83 in a 70 zone, in hard rain…only got a warning and told that I was going too fast for the conditions. He was also thrown off by seeing a guy 30 years older than him busting down the highway like that. The 4 BW is a great open...

    5th gen V?

    Same for me. In my DC condo building built in 1979, there is no power outlets close to any parking spaces in the garage. Also (Board) we looked into it, and found that we'd have to add in whole new wiring with its own fuse panel to bring enough KVA into the building to have chargers, and routing...

    CT5-V Catalytic Converter and Brake work

    Their pad selections can very for producing dust and what temp they need to work. I think I had 1400s on my Alcon kit and when they were cold not much bite. Plus a bit of squeal when cold. So I had to warm them up some to get them up to temp.

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    Well I’m used to high revving engines as I’ve had a few Ducatis and Aprilias along with Kawasaki and Honda bikes. In fact the Z06 sort of makes up for not having a bike anymore, as I realized going 100 plus leaned over in a turn is no longer my thing.

    CT5-V Catalytic Converter and Brake work

    Carbotech pads are great. They make all kinds of variations too. I used them on an Alcon big brake kit that I put on a B6 S4 I had.

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    Soon. By next week it will be. Have to move money around banks to pay for it, as it’s Friday and Monday is a holiday…I probably won’t see the deposit into checking till Tuesday. Then I’ll go get it.

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    I got offered 62k trade in on the 4BW. I thought that was pretty good.

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    I test drove a 2024 today, 2lZ with some extras. Totally different experience than the BW and more than I expected. Did a 5 mile drive but only got to 5k rpm due to traffic. Have to decide if this can be my only car. I think it can. I tried touring mode and sports mode. Just starting it and...

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    Yes I’ve been reading about all those things. Found a used one with CF wheels but having to hunt down a place that’ll change tires on them seems a problem. I agree that I don’t need the CF body aero package. Or the ceramic brakes. The Z07 package might be a bit much too. Do need the front end...

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    I’ve only got one parking space, so if I pull the trigger it’ll have to be my only one. But most of the time I drive for fun unless it’s to the dentist or doctor. I have my eyes on a used one that has the CF wheels and carbon brakes, but it seems that most places will not mount tires on CF...

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    I’m tall with tall torso, so it’s hard for me to fit in some cars. I went to dealer and sat in the HTC and after 15 minutes of seat fiddling was able to make it work. That’s cross plane crank engine sounds so good.

    anyone have a Z06 and BW? or trade to a Z06?

    Think I might get a Z06, been looking and great deals out there right now with prices lower than MSRP. Good selection too before the 26 refresh. Thinking carbon fiber wing package and front end lift, looked into the Z07 package but don't want the Cup2s on the street. A few I've found have the...

    Buying a pre-owned high MSRP 2024 CT5VBW or a new 2025 model?

    It transfers and the car should be CPO which gives you an extra two years I think. If you buy at the dealer. I’d get the 24 due to the carbon packages and the CCB.

    Dealer Couldn't Set Up Track Alignment?

    So the pin gets punched out, what's next? Is the camber adjusted how? some sort of bolt or nut to adjust? Loosen the three nuts/bolts and move the strut inward till you get what you want then re-tighten them?

    Dealer Couldn't Set Up Track Alignment?

    Well I looked and you can see on top of the shock tower, two divots in the cap that look like they can be drilled out for something, plus a metal plug of sorts poking up through a divot that’s drilled out.

    What did you trade?

    Same with a 911. Once it’s out of warranty and something big goes out, well bend over. Engine, PDK, AC, turbos, front radiators, info system and more. Now with the hybrid S ….geez it’s a complicated drivetrain. It’ll be huge to maintain with the turbo motor and the electric drive motor. All...

    CT5-V CT5V BW Burning 4qtz/Thousand miles

    By 2019, lots of 350s were turning into diesels. Ford replaced them and kept the bad engine. They never made a public announcement as to why it was happening. But many suspect it was due to bad rings. They also did a compression test, leak down and bore scope of my bad motor. Ford lost their...

    CT5-V CT5V BW Burning 4qtz/Thousand miles

    It happens. I night a brand new GT350 and at 6K miles needed a new engine due to oil consumption. At the end it was burning a quart every 200 miles. Ford made me do two 500 drive tests. But I got a new long block and it never really burned any oil.
