    Just when you thought you'd seen everything...

    You have to admire him for doing something different and apparently doing a good job. I love it!

    General Advice for First Time 5BW Owners

    Get out to Spring Mountain and then track the thing. The track is the only place where you can really appreciate and enjoy what this car is capable of doing. Plenty of HPDE's around the country and SCCA Track Nights; both are great at accommodating beginners.

    Suspension question

    I tracked my car with both stock alignment and track alignment at two different tracks. I use the Cosworth Pi Toolbox to analyze laps and found while I was generating slightly more G-forces in the corners, the lap times were not significantly different (less than 2%). Different tires respond...

    I'm a liar

    Great car - congratulations! But I want to know more about the '09 Saab 9-5 wagon 5mt: Built Motor, Evo 9 Twin Scroll turbo,6mt swap LSD, e85/Flex tune, ETC dyno coming soon, 400+whp. That sounds seriously bad a**! A manual wagon, too cool. A buddy of mine had one of the 9000 Turbos new and it...

    Santa, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?

    Last Christmas my oldest bought me exactly what I have been asking for, a brand new Ferrari! Red with tan interior, it is gorgeous. Some assembly was required.

    2025 5-BW Precision Package Questions...

    I have been considering ordering a 2025 with the Precision Pack but I still can't deal with $18k. I track my 2022 occasionally and the iron brakes are so easy to service. Jacking the car up is a pain in the a** but the brakes are simple! Plus I have spent my time in the Goat Rodeo and not sure...

    Has anyone used the Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS tires on the CT4-V BW yet?

    Hoosier has a new Track Attack Pro 200 TP tire that I plan on trying next year. A lot of people running the Indy SCCA Time Trial events are running ViTour P1 tires that are 200 TP but they don't have sizes to fit the 5BW. So far. I have only run the stock Michelins.

    Track rats rejoice!

    I really was trying to justify moving from my '22 to a '25 and the Precision Package plus the new PDR might have done it but not at $18k. Most of us that track the car don't really want the CCB option as the iron disks/pads are easier and cheaper to replace. I might be able to afford a $9k...

    Help! Battery Disconnect, Pad replacement

    Never mind - It has something to do with having the FOB around. Taking it away eliminated the issue.

    Help! Battery Disconnect, Pad replacement

    I am trying to do my first brake pad replacement on my 5BW and have a question on the battery disconnect. I disconnected the negative lead from the battery and got a soft buzz that stops for a short period and then starts again. That continues to repeat and I am concerned that I am missing...

    Allocation Process.....

    I believe that allocations are based partially on prior year volume. Find out how many Blackwings the dealer sold the past few years.

    Pad for right knee rest?

    Do what I do when I track my BW5, wear a knee pad on your right knee turned to the right. The Camaro offered an optional knee pad built into the console which was a good idea.
