    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    Never heard of transport mode. Does this work for our (manual transmission) cars?: To turn Transport Mode On/Off, start the vehicle, press the brake pedal, activate the hazard flashers, hold the start button for at least 15 seconds. Transport Mode On/Off message will display on the DIC and the...

    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    After 4 months in storage my battery was still above 50% charge, so if yours dies after 12 days you have a parasitic draw somewhere.

    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    Can you post a picture next time you have it hooked up under the hood? I connected my NOCO smart trickle charger under the hood, using the alligator clips, checked a couple months later, and the battery was down to 50%. I then connected the NOCO directly to the battery in the trunk (that was a...

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

    So, I just heard back from 5spurs. They're asking "can the button housing be removed from the dash easily?" I'm away from my 'wing at the moment, and don't have the mechanical wherewithal to test, so can anyone here confirm if our starter button housing is easy to remove?

    This is one of the very few 23s that ever escaped the Goat pen and made it across the border to Canada. Ontario specifically.

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

    Would anyone else here be interested in purchasing an aerospace grade aluminum starter button priced in the $50-$75 range?

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

    I had “wow, that’s a Lexus-level luxury detail” moment yesterday. The sun was really shining so the cabin was hot when I got in and started up the car, so as I was leaving the HVAC fan automatically turned up to its highest setting. But, when I held down the steering wheel button to summon the...

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

    I would like to replace my starter button with one that’s actually metal (aluminium?). I also wish the steering wheel was wrapped with higher-quality leather. To really compete against ze Germans, these touchpoints need to be better. Is there a metal aftermarket starter button available?

    What would you do?

    I suspect you’re posting here to assuage your guilt. Next time, hit the V button twice and educate the poor fellow, as any gentleman should.

    CT5-V I’m Back! Picked Up A 2025 MT CT5V BW

    Please report back on the performance of your Vredstein set? As much as I loathe the idea of winter driving my ‘wing on Ontario’s salty roads, I really miss driving the beast, so am looking for options…

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    In a CT5-V Blackwing manual, the first day I was hitting around 115 mph by the end of the straight. Then I did a ridealong, and watched him hit 127 mph. The next day, with massively more confidence in the brakes, I hit 128 mph (apparently faster than the Corvettes). The performance of these big...
