    CT5-V Is clutch shudder when engaging first normal?

    While it's been documented by GM & others this can be normal behavior when the trans is hot, I've not experienced this in my vehicle even after hot laps at VIR nor CMP. Just sayin. (I only have the notchy 1st-2nd when cold that gets better (but not gone) when the trans fluid warms up.)

    These replace the OEM puddle lights at the bottom of the door. The OEM lights simply cast light onto the ground when you open the door. These project the word Blackwing & the wings. You lose a little in the sense they don't illuminate as much of the ground with the OEM light but the trade-off is...

    Wifey got me these Blackwing puddle lights for my b-day. Took <15 minutes to install both. I think they look sharp.

    In praise of stealth mode

    I depend too much on Waze & the speed trap alerts to use Stealth Mode.

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    Do you not have a detector that can filter that out?

    CT5-V 2026 Delivery Time

    A friend of mine recently took delivery on his '26 5BW. His order to delivery time was similar to yours. Yeah, my '23 5BW took just over 11 months from order entry to delivery. It was just when the world was coming out of COVID-19 & so many parts were still on constraint. None of the exterior...

    Just make sure to keep up on the maintenance of the diffs & tranny fluid. The weak link is the engine with forced induction but they are very reliable otherwise.

    If you put M&S tires on it, you'll be practically unstoppable. I had a 2005 & then 2008 Subbie STi with dedicated snow tires for the winter. The Tri-State Subbie Owners Enthusiast's Club used to do a weekend event every winter from NYC thru PA, a stop at Subbie of America, NJ & all the way to...

    Not normal behavior. I have 52k+ miles & have not experienced this.

    You can always ask them to hold onto the empty quart bottles to show you when you pick up the vehicle. Add it as a special request when you drop off the vehicle for service. I don't know they'll honor the request but can't hurt to ask.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    The C8 Stingray & Eray use the same Mobil 1 0W-40 Super Car oil as the 5BW. They even use the same AC Delco filter. I know this bc I had a '23 Corvette HTC Stingray and did the majority of oil changes myself. Makes sense because they essentially share the same motor. If your local Caddy dealer...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Oil & filter change. Had 9% left on the oil life indicator. I had to add 2 qts of oil when the indicator was at 18%. I guess I need to keep a better eye out on my oil level. I had the a-hole tech check, double check & triple check the correct oil & the amount of oil put in. This was my 1st oil...
