Getting an allocation will have you dreaming of your car for months. 8 months seems super goaty to me, why so long?

That car sounds like a beast! I'm not one to mod like that, but I think what you paid is a good deal. 850+ hp is 850 hp, sideways will happen regardless of transmission. Definitely going to be faster with the 10A. I'm all about the 6M, but I had the 10A at Spring Mountain and it's a great...

Agree with Dribs, its the same bones as a "regular" 4BW and the sticker kit really isn't adding anything. But, if my name Larry Sebring, I'd totally have one.

One bleed session will be enough to erase the code if air is in fact the issue. On the mess part, the key is not to put too much coolant in the funnel. If you're just trying to get the last bit of air out, that is maybe 1-2 oz at most. I mighty vac out the remaining amount before the dismount...

Did you bleed the system like @flipray suggested? It's easy to do and might be worth a try.

If you're referring to the "missing" material in the corners, I think that is how they are manufactured.

Searching the registry yields 64 Cyber yellow '23-'24 model years. I don't think it captures the entire production, but you get the idea that the polarizing and one year only colors are low volume. So, deep sea being limited to 200 isn't in and of itself all that unusual in our BW world. If...

200 of the exact same spec/color isn't very limited in the context of 5BW production.

How can they even make any money at $90? Is that the base price and then when you roll in with your BW is excluded and it's actually $300? It's still a time and competency deal for me. I know it's the right materials and quantities, and my car didn't fall off the rack or get hot...

The profile is both familiar (Civic, for example) and sort of odd ball. I like the looks, but I don't love it like the last gen CTS-V. I'm not sure if it will age as well as that car either. I understand aesthetics are very subjective, but when someone says the CTS was ugly, I just don't get...

If you're doing your own change, I presume you have the space, tools, and to and ability to dispose of the oil, down the storm drain of course. Extracting oil from the top is the same as the Fumoto valve, I don't get the point of either. I don't have a 4, but the 5 requires you to get under...

Outside of dialing in the geometry, the main reason GM added these billet toe links to the PP is the same reason Camaro folk have been doing it for years; to eliminate the toe deflection these cars exhibit under hard acceleration and cornering. The rear squirm we feel are the OEM rubber...

One can try to negotiate anything, but making a deal is optional. As a matter of principal, I've never (and never will) pay added markup. Special cars at MSRP requires a bit of leg work and only once was I able to buy one at MSRP (my Chevy SS) at my local dealer. Everything else has required...

The hood open note on the dash helps remind me to disconnect before I drive off.

Riiight...a deer...that jumped out right when you were leaving cars and coffee? I see you and your people on Youtube every day :cool: As far as your warranty, sure, it can be a challenge in the rare case that something comes up. I think the regular kong port, TB, and catback would keep you...
