    Official Cyber Yellow Thread

    There's two questions you have to ask your dealer. 1. Have they received any 5BW allocations before? 2. What position in line are you? If they have never received a Blackwing your chances are very very low at getting one. Likewise if they get one a year and your 5th in line you will probably...

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    Maybe the dealer will learn for next time they get allocation of a 5BW and nobody on the list to option the manual. Generally I find the guy doing the ordering for the GM dealers doesn't really know much about trends for vehicles. They deal in trucks and crossovers, if they are lucky enough to...

    What did you trade?

    The Dark Horse is overpriced, but so was the Mach 1. At least for the next 5 months the answer is "Camaro". Now think about this, after the Camaro bows out at the beginning of 2024 the only new V8 manual vehicle you can buy is a Mustang or a Cadillac (someone please tell me I'm wrong). Now Ford...

    battery charging

    Red cap is positive. I clamp the negative of my tender onto the post thats on top of the driver side shock tower. Theres a lug+post sticking up. The positive goes to the battery under the red cap.

    Did I get ripped off?

    Canada doesn't have a law for monroney stickers however I've never seen a new vehicle not have one here in Canada that wasn't the original one that came with the car.

    Installing the Carbon Fiber body pieces on your own. Sorry if this has been asked already.

    If carbon is not available when you place your order you will not get carbon. GM doesn't come back after you placed your order and tells you that you can now add it when your car isn't built. The spec you submit with the constraints on hand is what you get. So no Carbon means no Carbon. You...

    Velocity Red is Torch Red isn't it? You've probably seen it on a hundred Corvette's. Its very bright but in sun it also looks orange. Cyber Yellow does indeed look like a gold mustard yellow. Its not "bright" but it definitely stands out, not my personal cup of tea but its one of those colours...

    CT5-V 2025 Cadillac CT5 Sedan Adds Sleek 33-Inch Screen, New Headlights

    I'll need to see it. I want green, not "green when it transitions". Either way I have more hope than before. They offered a green on other Cadillac products called Emerald Lake that wasn't available to Blackwings and the Emerald Frost was a one year only colour. I just want to realize a...

    CT5-V 2025 Cadillac CT5 Sedan Adds Sleek 33-Inch Screen, New Headlights

    Did I miss a colour? I absolutely want a green and I'd reorder a '25 to get a green but I didn't see a green with the new colours announced.

    Anyone know the best way to get an OEM Blackwing part?

    You most likely will want to call customer service and get this escalated. Sometimes emailing the VPs and presidents of Cadillac will have the ball tossed down to the appropriate people to expedite you. The emails are found on the website.

    Spaceship Sound on Startup

    As much as I assume its some crap the dealer installed, I'm leaning towards an issue with the intrusion alarm or the "power sounder". Given Mulignan hears the same sound. If its done it every time you drive the car, I'd have the alarm system looked at.

    CT5-V 2025 Cadillac CT5 Sedan Adds Sleek 33-Inch Screen, New Headlights

    Very mild update. I think I prefer the old one but this wouldn't stop me from getting a '25. If there is a Blackwing refresh as well I expect it to be largely the same inside with the same giant screen but a slightly different front end.

    CT5-V My new car has arrived. And a lament about the paint...

    These cars are known for having defects with Black paint (another reason I recommend getting something with colour). Unfortunately it kind of is what it is. If you were more local to your selling dealer than maybe something could be worked on. Since you will be driving it a lot and parking it...

    Is the FULL semi-aniline interior worth it?

    More then likely the carbon seats won't be available but you can do a carbon delete so you can still get the semi aniline at a reduced price. I have the upgraded seats (not semi) and they're comfy, I didn't notice a big difference in comfort or materials sitting in a semi aniline seat, however...

    The Blackwing reminds you that you are old…

    What do you call it when you leave the indicator on and you're 31... Asking for a friend because I definitely haven't done that before, no sir.

    Can someone explain this to me (MPG discrepancy)

    Normally the fuel economy screen is to see instant fuel economy as well as a short average over say 100 miles. I didn't think you can use the screen to see up to 450 miles average. Best guess is that the trip screen isn't an average but instead the actual consumption, where as the fuel economy...

    CT4-V Oil Catch Can??

    Was this the video that went all over the interwebs?

    When is the next aftermarket exhaust coming out?

    Theres few options because of volume. BMW and Honda have a lot of products. Lots of M cars and lots of Si's, Type Rs and boys with dreams in a base Civic. V products were always around 1500 a year for volume, which is next to nothing. Developing aftermarket parts is costly and vendors need to...
