    Am I the only one here interested in vintage vehicles?

    Currently have 2 '04 GTO's and a '75 Monza. Bought the blue one new. Both GTO's are quite a bit modded. The Monza is still all stock...for now. Past cars include an 75 Cosworth Vega, 78 Monza 2+2, 79 Cutlass, 84 Z28 HO 5spd, 85 Monte Carlo SS, 87 Grand National, 89 Turbo Trans Am, 92 Spirit...

    Brake Pad Question - Street Use

    I've had the Power Stops in for a couple of weeks. Dust is a lot less. I feel the initial bite is better than the stock pads. I'm sure if pushed, these wouldn't be as good as the stock pads. But for street driving, they are great.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Changed the brake pads. Cleaned the calipers and wheels while in there. Really easy job.

    Brake pad install questions

    Thanks guys. Just finished burnishing them in. Took about 2.5 hours from driving on a 2x6 to dropping it down. Since everything was off, extra time to clean the calipers and wheels. It was literally the easiest brake pad install I've ever done. I put the Power Stop pads in and they seemed...

    Brake pad install questions

    Getting ready to do pads. Never changed pads on Brembo's but it looks simple enough though. What are some do's and don'ts for this car? Just looking for any gotchas that can be avoided. Thanks

    CT4-V Non OEM brake pads

    Good to know. I usually check them fairly regular on all the other cars, so that isn't a big deal. Thanks for the info.

    CT4-V Non OEM brake pads

    I want to change the brake pads as the dust is crazy. When going to a pad that doesn't have the sensor, is there a light on the dash that comes on? If so, does it stay on? Probably going to go with Power Stop Z23-405 and Z26-1053 as I believe these will fit correctly but no sensor. Any help...

    CT4-V CT4V BW Seats Peeling

    As long as your bumper to bumper warranty hasn't expired, they should cover it. I was in my 3rd year of warranty on my 04 GTO, the bolster was showing wear and Pontiac replaced the top half leather of the seat. I don't see why Cadillac wouldn't do that also.

    Used Value Trend

    That is a glossary. Look up top of that and you'll see it's clean.

    Used Value Trend

    I see the accident in the report but not a branded title. Says title is clean.

    Congrats! I grew up in the Crofton/Odenton area. Spent most of my life in AA county. Been away for quite awhile though.

    Excellent Mileage

    The first tankful in mine has been the best. Didn't go past 55mph because of construction but keeping it at low speeds and no boost, I got 31.1mpg. Some how I haven't been able to replicate that... Best now is 24-25mpg consistently.

    CT4v Blackwing Custom Cat Back Exhaust? Anyone done anything Custom? Results?

    Is there really any power gains from a catback on these cars? Or is it strickly for sound? I ask because I had a Corsa on my 04 GTO and went back to stock and only lost about 5rwhp, that was when I was around 430rwhp. If you looked at that exhaust you'd think it would be so restrictive but it...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Was out and thought I'd hit up Chick-fil-A. Parked next to this. Thought they were the same color but it does seem to be a little different shade.

    Octane ratings

    I had not seen that. There were a number of reasons it "failed" but spending money really wasn't one of them. They spent a ton of money on the '04 just on the exhaust to make it sound like a '64. It is actually a very nice flowing piece. I only lost 5rwhp when I went from a Corsa back to it...

    Octane ratings

    Back in my turbo Buick days before alky injection, I used to mix 3 gallons of 93 octane, 1 gallon of Xylene, and 1 oz of Marvel Mystery Oil. That would yield about 98 octane or so. It did make it tough to read plugs as they would be totally clean/white. As long as it was logged for KR, I...

    CT5-V .

    I'll throw out an exhaust leak. Some can be quite loud when cold and quiet up as the metal expands. Either way, ticks are not fun. Whether lifter, bearing, or exhaust leaks. Good luck getting it squared away.
