    CT4-V Looking for photo help from a fellow 4BW owner

    I had a bad clunk in my 22 4 BW and the rear left was blown. Can you try another dealer?

    Yes. But that can still clunk if it’s torn

    That swaybar bushing looks damaged. Looks torn to me. That will cause a clunk noise.

    Dealer joyride and manual "lessons"

    Go see the manager, show him the videos. Demand compensation of some sort. They could have scored or damaged the clutch disc.

    Modern Spare experience?

    My GT350 had a good recessed space for the spare tire kit that worked well. But I think cars that are designed now don’t bother with it. I had a tire get sliced on the highway a few summers ago on the Mustang and the pump and goo did not fix it. After that on a 100 degree day and waiting for the...

    3,000 miles, rotors warped, GM won't replace

    I carry tire warmers in my trunk and use them before I strafe the backroads of AA county. I don’t do burnouts or own new balance shoes or jean shorts with white polo shirt

    Also if you do some hard driving or burnishing, then come to a complete stop and hold on the brakes while they are hot, you will leave a pad deposit on the rotor that's uneven. You need to drive a few miles with no hard brake usage till the rotor cools a bit.

    3,000 miles, rotors warped, GM won't replace

    "but the car is babied" Therein lies your problem..........don't baby it. Every time I take my 4BW out I hit over 100 and smash those brakes, my car burns no oil at 7K miles and the brakes do not squeal or get warped. Like I said, if you're just dabbing the brakes here and there you will get...

    3,000 miles, rotors warped, GM won't replace

    You added more uneven pad deposits and made it worse. Take the rotors off, sand them down, then burnish them again. Do you do lots of city or urban driving? That's going to make pad deposits uneven. I do some hard braking out on the backroads to the point of ABS engaging, I'm at 7k miles and no...

    take the rotors off, then sand them down till you remove the pad deposits. Then do the break in procedure again. Fix warped rotors....

    Media dumps

    Gas costs lots more in Europe and they just don’t drive big cars. Gas is also formulated differently and crash tests are different, so it costs a manufacturer quite a bit more to get it certified for sale in Europe. Same for here too though, that’s why Bill Gates and other bought a 959 911 when...

    Modern Spare experience?

    I used one of their kits on my GT350 that I had. It was well made and all the pieces did their function. It came with the spacers too. The tire was a Pirelli. I’d say it’s a buy if you drive in places with no cell coverage or tow service.

    CT4-V Disappointed after lengthy Test drive

    If you drive the 4Bw in touring mode. It’s a pretty sedate sedan. Go to my mode and use the slider control to give better throttle response. Or go to V mode, max out all the settings for throttle, brakes, suspension, steering, PTM and exhaust, and you’ll go, whoaa. The sales guy won’t do it for...

    T-Boned a Red Light Runner in my 5BW 😠 Adios collectible value

    Insurance company will probably just pay out the market value based on comparable cars. But you can do your own research and come up with that number too. At least ask to see how they came up with it.
