Mine hovers around the same 12-14psi range under full load. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Only a few times have I glanced down and seen 15psi or greater, but I was in track mode when observing those higher readings for a split second. The car also burbles and snaps way harder in track/sport...
I have roughly 9000 miles on the clock since last September as my DD in New Jersey and absolutely love it so far.
The seats are comfortable enough to spend 2-3 hours in without too much drama from my back, and the chassis puts the power down like a champ upon request. It's the best of both...
Slightly besides the topic of your post, but I did notice those cool looking CF paddle shifter extensions you have installed. Are they worth a shot? Curious as to who makes them and if the adhesive will become a messy slimy goo in the summer months
I am between guinea pigging it for the...
Bummer dude. I had a new engine put in mine after a few thousand miles and it has not had any impact on resale. Document everything religiously, and you should be a-okay in the long run. Just make sure to test it extensively after break in is completed if you plan to keep it forever. At least...
Here's my little buddy Morgan! Getting his fur out of the cabin is a real treat but weekend trips up north are way easier with two extra doors. Please disregard the embarrassing condition of my lawn--this was during the drought last summer.
I would love to do the same mod and was shocked to learn that you can open the windows from the FOB, but not fold in the mirrors electronically. I swapped to CF mirror caps so it would probably look pretty cool with them all folded up but I am not doing it manually hahaha
What does your oil pressure reading look like under a light load at 40-45 mph? Just cruising you should be at around the 40-50psi range, but with a heavier load that number will be much higher (like 70-80psi plus).
From my understanding, these engines like a lot of oil pressure, but if you...
It was me who ordered the cheaper one to test the fitment-- You are absolutely correct about the fitment.
The cheaper Chinese ones are designed to slip directly over the non-blackwing decklid spoiler just like a phone case slips over a cell phone (adhered around edges with 3m double sided...
After about 50 miles of driving I can confirm the car feels solid and runs great. Can't wait to finish the break-in period and really give it the beans to test it out. Now it just needs a good detail and we are back in action.
Update - One month in and the dealer just contacted me with great news way earlier than expected. The car is up and running, they just want to do one more road test tomorrow morning and then I can go pick it up. Can't wait to get her back!

Been waiting over a month for mine, but I have seen others getting them in batches!
Just got approval from Cadillac for a brand new crate engine last Wednesday. Dealer said roughly one week for the crate engine to arrive, plus 2 additional weeks in the shop to shoehorn it in. I am curious if the replacement crate engine will have the forged internal components that were not...
Thanks NorCal, you raise a great point. My car is an automatic, and as far as over-revs, I believe that I have only had one such instance in my time with the car. That being said, it was a one-time first to second shift in which I must have forgotten that I was in manual mode, but I let off...
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
I may have blown up my Blackwing. I was in traffic last Thursday (in my mode- completely behaving for the whole 15-minute drive) when I received my first ever warning message in my BW. Low oil pressure, turn vehicle off immediately. I was in traffic, but...
The gauge cluster in my 4BW makes a really distinct electrical noise all the time. Its somewhat subtle, but I am super nitpicky with my cars. Is anyone else experiencing this as well? Still love the thing a ton and looking to drown the noise out with some catted downpipes anyways..
