New Owner CT4 BW

[Flageric]

I have been lurking on this site for several months and finally made my choice
This will be my daily driver, to replace my EVO

 

[ST Expat]

Absolute STUNNER. I picked up a used one this past weekend with a near-identical spec, but I envy the white with sky cool grey interior. You're going to love it, all I've done this week is clock watch til 5pm when I can drive mine again!

Really wish I had gotten the Alcantara Steering Wheel option!

That feeling of watching the clock until you drive it again does not go away any time soon. I have had mine since August and still bolt down to the parking garage with a smile on my face at quitting time.

Manual gearbox was very important to me, I chose it over the M3, I can't wait to try it at the track after break in

Congratulations, welcome and good luck with it.

Gorgeous, congrats!

 

[Roadhawk]

Congrats - Looks great! Enjoy!

Welcome and congratulations. You have the same color combo as my 5BW. Beautiful looking car.

I wanted to add that option and my dealer talked me out of it. He said he didn't think it aged well and became matted over time.

He did you a favor

Former VIII driver here too. Lexat20 at EvoM. I miss that car more than all the others.

I hated the suede steering wheel in my GT350. Had to wear leather driving gloves, which was a PIA as it was.

He did you a favor

He sure did!

I find the alcantara super easy to care for and with my sweaty hands its a must. A quick touchip with a leather brush pops those fibers right back up and maybe 2x a year a 10min clean with some German suede cleaner and its literally the same as I bought it.

Beautiful car op!

Looks great! I had the alcantera wheel in my CTS-V. It did get matted completely down. There was probably a way to care for it or restore it but I didn’t know the secrets.

I have the Alcantara. Not a huge fan. I think the key is to clean it often. Somewhere on here is a thread about cleaning and different products to use.

Our ZHP has an Alcantra steering wheel and while I like it - currently its not in good shape (and requires maintenance). I recently picked up some Alcantra cleaner and brushes and such so its a project for the near future. All in all I probably would just rather have the regular leather steering wheel.

Congrats! Seems to be a fantastic track car right out of the box. One of the reasons I traded my Camaro for one. I'm planning to just swap brake fluid, get a track alignment and send it! At least initially....

This is the stuff, most likely. I used it in my previous CTS-V with the alcantara.
