    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    That looks awesome! How do you deal with the shift cap? i was never clear on how it is attached to the shift knob.

    Is the CT4V Blackwing fun at legal-ish speeds

    The CT4 V BW with a manual transmission is fun at ANY speed, in my opinion. Even lazily driving around town. I love it.

    surprised

    Take a REALLY good look at the paint. Mine was so swirled that I had to pay $900 for a two stage paint correction. The dealer will play dumb once it’s off the lot.

    Probably Dumb Questions

    I have a 4bw and my trunk has had some issues before as well. It’s annoying.

    Blackwing-spec PS4Ss heat cycle out long before wearing out?

    I know everyone has been waiting for an update LOL. The AS tires are just fine — i find them quieter (a bit), they still grip really well, and the wet traction is much more confidence inspiring (not surprising). If you track your blackwing, don’t do it!! For me, it’s a great trade off if they...

    Blackwing-spec PS4Ss heat cycle out long before wearing out?

    Noted. It may be a horrific mistake, but somehow I’ll soldier on. Incidentally, even Richie at Spring Mountain said if you want a quieter tire that still performs very well, the pilot sport all seasons are a great tire. I don’t track my car, so I don’t probably need a track-capable tire...

    Tapout MAF tubes

    Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.

    Yep. AS will last 50,000 miles instead of 20,000 miles.

    Tapout MAF tubes

    I searched but didn’t find any threads where this was discussed - at least with anyone that has some experience with the install. These have been available for a bit now, surely there is someone who’s done it without the JB4 and can comment?

    Tapout MAF tubes

    Is there anyone with a 4BW that has installed JUST the larger MAF tubes from TapOut? Meaning, without a JB4 tuner as well. They mention on their site that some cars get a DTC on cold starts with the larger MAF tubes. Just wondering how prevalent that is. Not sure I want to do the whole tuner...

    Blackwing-spec PS4Ss heat cycle out long before wearing out?

    21,000 miles on mine w no track use but a lot of spirited driving. Replacing them with pilot sport all seasons this week. I want something quieter and that will last a bit longer as I dd my blackwing.

    Hardwired Radar Detector

    I have had no such issues with my install. You’re only grabbing power, it shouldn’t stop working. ng

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Everytime I was behind one on the long straight (a 5bw), i was astonished on how hard it pulled away. Amazing cars, no doubt. Every time I saw it, I was like, “me want.” I was also amazed at how quickly I caught up once the straights were done. Just my observation, but I’m pretty positive...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I just got done with Spring Mountain (was there Monday and Tuesday, 4/28 and 4/29). Great facility, great instructors. I had zero track experience prior to the two-day course, and now feel somewhat competent, which is a testament to the quality of the instructors. My classmates were also...

    CT5-V HORRIBLE experience with Bayway Cadillac SW

    I bought my ‘23 4BW at Bayway, and did not have a great experience either. Their add-on packages are ludicrous, they badly swirled my paint, and they weren’t willing to do much once the car was out of their possession. Pissed me off so much that I have never gone back for service and will not...

    Radar Detector

    Here’s exactly what I bought. It’s a VERY clean install, and I’m still extremely happy with it. Loctite the screws that hold the mount on.

    Radar Detector

    There’s another thread in here somewhere where me and several others detail the install — I don’t have it handy but’s it’s in here in the interwebz somewhere.

    Radar Detector

    I have a Uniden R7 and have never heard the laser detector go off a single time. I don’t think they run laser in Texas - good mix of Ka and K band in my neck of the woods.
