New tires. Autocross and track day coming up.

Tell us how you like them I was tempted to buy a set this time.

 

[DaytonOH CT 5 BW]

Went to the dealership to get my first oil change for free. The dealer could not perform the complementary oil change unless the oil life was at or below 20%. That was news to me. I’m at 33% right now. It’s not a big deal I’ll get there before winter.

I second this. I'm looking at these tires for my Z06 since they are 30% cheaper then Michelins.

Started a road trip down Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Basically coasting down a mountain for 20 minutes has to have gotten me the best 20 minutes of gas mileage I’ll ever get with this car.

Getting ready for a drop in engine swap. More power, but fuel consumptions going to take a hit!

New Falken Azenis FK460 A/S tires, and saw the 500 mile RPM range change:

That's BS on the dealer. I got my first oil change, the freebie at 560 miles. Dealer couldn't have cared what the oil life was and that's how it should be.

Your freebie your call on mileage. Don

Added gloss black wing and roof spoilers.

Got mine done around 800 miles IIRC. That was almost 6 months into ownership. They actually called me to set up the appointment. They also thought I had a lot more miles than I did. Sorry but she slept all winter.

More info on the roofwing?

Picked it up from the dealership after two weeks of work. They replaced the oil sensor as it was giving low oil warnings erroneously. Part of me is worried that it took so long, it sounds like they had to disassemble a big part of the engine bay. Hoping the tech was experienced and didn’t **** anything up putting it back together.

It’s a china part but I took a chance and it’s good quality fits perfect. Just double sided tape and it took about 2 weeks to ship. For Cadillac CT5 CT5-V 2020-2023 Glossy Black Roof Trunk Spoiler Wing Flap 1PCS | eBay

What are your impressions, have you done the tail in other cars before, if yes how does the 5BW compare?

It was my first time on that road. You could definitely feel the weight of the car around some of the tighter corners but it handled well. I got there very early in the morning so it was basically just me on the road, so rolling down the windows and hearing just the engine was great. It's definitely a road where the 4BW would probably fare better, but it was still very fun nonetheless.

SICK. Can't wait to get back up there in April with the 4V.

Definitely going to be an adjustment coming from the most recent 718 Cayman I tossed around up there earlier this year.

Most fun I have ever had on a road, even in my old ATS Premium.

That's the only time I would consider driving it, fairly early morning on a weekday. There are so many other great roads in the area I wouldn't bother if it is busy or if there are police around.

Having said that, I'm jealous. I haven't taken my 5BW there yet. Was just watching videos and talking about it last night. I've been there many times with various other motorcycles and cars. Just a matter of time.

Really have gotten to appreciate everyone's input on this forum.

Just sharing the ride with the Blackwing - picked it up back in April and since then have installed "Blackwing" logo puddle lights from Savage Cadillac, blacked out logos from 404 parts (both FANTASTIC sources for items). Have PPF "track package" installed as well as ceramic for the paint and wheels (the brake dust is a real struggle city to keep off lol). Also installed CF1 and CF2 (picked it up from the shop today! PPF and ceramic was done by Hyer Quality Detail, CF installs done by APEX Customs (thank you Spencer / Cassandra / Jeff from APEX, and Derek from Hyer!!)

Just when it couldn't look any more badass... the CF packages really make it look like a weapon. Super happy with the result

How did you install the dive planes on a non-CF bumper?
