Anyone want a $94k 4BW?

[RDATLTE]

Getting back to the original topic… I just spent a little time looking over the Sebring IMSA Blackwing, and I’ve come to 2 conclusions:

If it were for me I’d configure it with the standard black wheels and delete the sunroof and suede steering wheel and save about $3,000.

And the car is definitely worth the price. The Maverick Noir Frost is not available on 4BWs and on 5BWs it’s an $8120 option. So between the 2 CF packages and the paint you’re already getting close to $20,000 in options. The additional decals, badges, baubles, and exclusivity easily make up any difference IMO. Plus of the 3 IMSA editions, the Sebring is far and away the best looking.

Not to mention the carbon fiber seat backs which are exclusive to the TEs on the 4s and damn near the entire BW line up when taking constraints into consideration.

The car is worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it. I like the look paint job but I would be neurotic trying to keep it from getting damaged. I would just option up a Black Raven car the way you like and get it wrapped in satin black.

Weight of the wheels or sidewall depth?

Both

I just find the Camaro feels heavy in a bad way compared to 4BW and feel like the wheels has a lot to do with it.

I agree. As I have aged I am appreciating the 4BW more than the Camaros and Corvettes I have owned. It is just a much better daily driver. Totally concur on Magride 4.0 and I even like the brake by wire adjustability. I couldn't tell a difference between the modes in my Camaro but in the 4BW it is quite noticeable. The Michelins PS4S tires also make a big difference vs. the Goodyears I had. I do miss the V8 sound a little but this LF4 pulls just as hard when the boost kicks in. I also like how fast it revs, I wonder if they used a lighter flywheel in the 4BW vs the Camaro?

Agree! LF4 revs faster and falls faster also.

I really struggle to drive the Camaro smoothly. Revs fall too slow. I don’t drive car often so know if I did wouldn’t be an issue.

4BW for daily driving ……5BW for those who want a garage queen. I doubt many 5BW owners have significant mileage on their cars….. if you do, would love to see a pic of your odometer as it seems most are afraid to drive them, lol! I guess the only explanation is your all hoping they’ll be the ultimate collectible!

BTW….. there’s no sarcasm button so, just take what I’m saying, with a grain of salt and have a little fun with it!!!

@Throat Yogurt please insult this member for me because I don't want to be a prick....

Go for it!

What did I write that is offensive or insulting to you? I truly believe 4BW owners use their cars more as daily drivers than 5BW owners. I also believe most 5BW owners believe their vehicle is an instant classic as a result of it being the last production American muscle car. BTW, they may in fact be right!

I’m guessing your 4BW has more mileage than your 5BW….. also, I could be wrong

There was a 5BW flogging it last Thursday on TNIA advanced group. They're stupid fast. But driver also got black flagged for trying to pass at a corner entry without a point by...

As far as entertainment goes, failure looks like the new success.

This is the first time in 6 weeks I've seen the word failure without the word "bank" in front of it.

So I'm guessing you are still waiting for Road Atlanta edition?

I am. Hopefully, no 24s will be delivered first.

I am. Hopefully, no 24s will be delivered first.

So am I. Even though the thought of canceling crossed my mind many times.
