    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Then it definitely wasn't me. Sounds like there's enough CT5-Vs around here we could have our own V jamboree. :D

    silly question: wiring down payment to dealer for my BW

    I quit using or accepting certified/cashiers checks because like regular checks payment can be stopped on them. If you're going to do that make sure whoever you plan to give it to is willing to accept it!

    silly question: wiring down payment to dealer for my BW

    I send wires quite often. Never had one go sideways. That said, you can always call their bank to verify you're dealing with a known quantity. The wire transfer (if it's going to a dealer) should also be in the dealers name in some fashion. You should also verify over the phone with the dealer...

    Half of it was a good laugh. The other half was a little scary.

    If so, I think I found it -

    How is the CT5V BW in mundane driving?

    I usually don't drive mine Mundane though Fridane. It's mostly just for weekends.

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    They just got into bed with Google for their infotainment. They don't need LexisNexis or Verisk money anymore. Their spy ring just got a huge dose of steroids, a bump in pay and extra layer of protection via Google.

    CT5-V Engine failure

    That's actually not true. For example; the pistons are fracture split. If one builder were mismatching caps or putting them on backward, mayhem could ensue. https://mitchell1.com/shopconnection/fracture-split-connecting-rods-no-thats-not-a-broken-part/

    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    Who built your motor? I'm curious if all the failures are linked to one (or more) people or if it's a general manufacturing issue.

    Quirks of my 5BW

    Depends on a lot of factors. Which version you choose (they still make the Evolution in addition to the RS), which drivetrain, whether or not you pick all the carbon bits and what state you get it sent to you (they can build you a car or they'll send you everything in a crate and you can build...

    Quirks of my 5BW

    We put a supercharger on a friends Exige and that CEL was a permanent fixture no matter what you did. We used to commute to work in it. Crawling in and out was the only downside. 5 stars! :D

    Quirks of my 5BW

    #2 Just happened to me today. I've had the car for 3 days. I think it might be because I fiddled with V mode and then went back to sport mode? #4 The automatic seatbelt tensioner. Went around a corner exuberantly and the seatbelt tried to strangle me to death. #5 The clock won't set itself...

    Quirks of my 5BW

    Amen. I'd give anything for a car like the Blackwing but with 100% analog gauges, nothing but buttons and a single DIN radio. And no OnStar. That said, if you're a fan of the LT4/5 and a mind bending driving experience there is a solution.... https://www.ultimasports.co.uk/Models/UltimaRS

    Great. I will never be able to unsee that. Thank you. :D

    Quirks of my 5BW

    After a few days in mine I've come to realize that they've spent a small fortune on gizmo R&D for things I don't want or need. They should make a no-frills, tech free, analog Z06 style version of this car and call it, IDK, the Cadillac SS or something. I'd buy 2 of them.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Ha! I was all of those shows last year in a different car. I use Esoteric any time I get something wrapped. Big fan. We go to the Plain City Der Dutchman show a lot just because it's close and Wayne is a great guy. I'm not a big primper either, I just use car shows as an excuse to go for a...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I have a feeling we're eventually going to meet one day at either C&C or Der Dutchman. Or Heels and Wheels. Depends on how you roll. :D
