    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    GM Authority just put out a story with some details but omits the timeframe for when the included cars were built. I think CB34 has it right in that it is 2025 models built in calendar year 2024. But would be nice if the story had confirmation...

    CT5-V Catalytic Converter and Brake work

    Thank you. I searched for options and could not find any. So good to know the stock pads are up to track day abuse. I just bought a set of fronts as a spare. I assume the front pads will wear out before the rears.

    Marker Light Removal

    For those with a '25+ CT5, Savage told me they will have side markers available for our cars by end of May. I was told that around mid-April, so we will see in the next week if their estimate is correct.

    CT5-V Catalytic Converter and Brake work

    I assume the options mentioned above are for the steel rotors. What are the options for CCB? I have not found any brake pads that are specific for the J57 (CCB) rotors other than the GM ones.

    CT5-V Blackwing Suspension Tuning - Options, Specs, Reviews

    Yikes! That is exactly the kind of thing that would happen to me if I had a CF front spoiler.

    Best Upgrades 5BW

    What did you use for the V1 hardwire? Did you tap into the mirror or some other power source? I bought a Gen5DIY harness I plan to use with a Blendmount. I do not have the car yet to know it will work or how hard it is to install.

    CT5-V Pictures of Bare v CF1 v CF2

    There are vendors who sell replica CF pieces. So if you did get a bare BW and just wanted one or two pieces for cheaper than a full CF package. So you could go that route. For example, I did not want a CF front spoiler as I would destroy it getting into my driveway. But I like the CF rear...

    Good article that describes why your eyeballs treat a the image from a rear view camera different from a mirror. https://www.theautopian.com/digital-rearview-mirrors-are-garbage-and-i-can-explain-why-with-science/

    Precision Package Owners - How is it?

    Good question. I think the max rear camber goes from -1.6 to -2.0. I would think the min would be 0.4 diff as well. I just got the track alignment on my PP car. -2.8 both sides on the front. On the rear with the aluminum toe links, max on one side was -1.9 and the other -2.1

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    Did OP ever tell us what was his decision? If feel like I have been left hanging. Hopefully this is not one of those ‘how do you keep an idiot in suspense’ posts.

    2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

    Few changes for 2026. Parking package and Performance Data Recorder are now standard. If you have a manual, you get blind spot detection. That seems to be it. No new colors or other options.

    CT5BW Order- VIN 860574- Built May 8, 2025- Help w/ Shipping Expectations?

    Congrats! Yours is nearly the twin of mine. Visually only difference is I went with the base wheels. You would think the window sticker would be available as soon as you get the VIN, but I think it was about 3 weeks before it was generated. Hopefully they ship it quickly. It is a real crap...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    GM published the official 2026 CT5-V order guide which includes the Blackwing. So they plan to make a 2026 CT5BW. Any statement to the contrary is just someone starting a rumor.

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    5 Spurs made metal ones for the S550 Mustang and other Fords. They were nice quality. I don’t think they make them for GM cars though. Might want to reach out them and see if they would be interested.

    CT5-V CT 5 Backwing tires

    285 in the front are fine. That is the std size for MPSC2R tires that come with the precision package. Can’t speak to 315 in the rear but I would imagine they would be fine if you are running the track alignment with the additional camber.

    You just made my day. Maybe my week. Possibly even my month. Cheers!
