    Time for a new radar detector?

    Check out the reviews on Vortex Radar. He does incredibly thorough reviews and they're generally available in text or video form. Once you decide, use the configuration he posts as well and be sure to do the quarterly firmware updates.

    4BW aftermarket wheel upgrade to 19” questions

    I agree go with Apex. They have tested fitments for the car and the tire sizes you want to run and they're damn good wheels.

    Spring Mountain Track Times

    FYI they changed up the autocross in January of this year so newer times aren't directly comparable to earlier classes.

    Smart Car Issues

    I know lots here hate that feature but it has saved my butt a handful of times just in the first year. The only time it's gone haywire was in the garage when I parked too close to the trash can. It thought it was a person for some reason?

    CT5-V Sun Visor Warning Label Cover

    OK so I got the suede color samples from Sun Visor Solutions and "Jet Black" 8104 is a pretty perfect match for the 4BW visor. I'd assume 5BW uses the same.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    OK so I got the suede color samples and "Jet Black" 8104 is a pretty perfect match for the 4BW visor. I'd assume 5BW uses the same, but if there's anyone in the greater NOVA/DC area with a 5BW I can hand off the sample chart for science.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Well I have a suede color chart on the way. We'll see if any of those are a better match.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Based on the name of the color you chose, it seems like you went with fabric instead of suede?

    Some oil consumption is by design

    11k miles and zero consumption whatsoever. However, this thread has reminded me to go check my oil level. It's been a while. I got spoiled with the digital dipstick in my old beat up BMW.

    4BW Rear Differential Fluid

    Attempt to remove the fill plug on top first. If it is stuck and you need more time / effort to do it that's fine. You haven't dumped any oil yet. If you remove the drain plug you are stuck until you can get that fill plug out. After that drain everything out you possibly can with whatever...

    CT4-V Left the dealer with a drivetrain vibration

    Yeah that dealer isn't going to admit they screwed up your car. Get a second opinion.

    Time for a new radar detector?

    Lug Nut Torque

    The one thing the dealer did correctly at my free oil change and tire rotation was to torque the lugs to 140 ft-lbs. Not sure I trust them to do anything more complicated.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    5BW can pass pretty much anything on the road except a gas station.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    The one thing we were constantly warned about at Spring Mountain was a section of the track with a rise and then a turn just after. The instructors said someone totaled a Cadillac on that turn because the car wasn't settled before he started turning the wheels for the turn. The Corvettes were...
