I must admit my comment to you was after dinner I can’t quite remember how many cocktails, after further consideration, I might have to resend my offer!
You almost got me

Does 'resend' ing your offer mean @Throat Yogurt is going to get to 're' evaluate it a second time for an additional few days...or will that be just added onto to the initial few days? Man, I'm so jelly!

... keep drinking my friend (except when you're on the road... unless the mrs is driving)

Hey south jersey/Philly... let's get some beers (I know that I specifically at least owe @Throat Yogurt a call).

I'm down!

 

[Slick Blackwings]

I'm down!

Me too

So I'm thinking that Infrared tint coat was 22 and Radiant Red tint coat is 24?

Infrared was '22 only (for the Blackwings). It was available on other trims and prior to '22, if that makes sense. Radiant Red started in '23 and looks to be carrying over to '25

Ty...Infrared was the best... although my shadow metallic is right up there too

I agree that Infrared >> Radiant Red. How do you feel about Typhoon, the new green color for '25? I'm all about that.

Can't wait to see a 5BW in Deep Space Metallic with Cool Sky Gray interior/red seat belts, dark graphite rims with red calipers.

End of this road trip, 3000 + miles 16 days.
Here my take on manual:
Couldn’t get more than 275 miles per tank.
Car is much louder than the automatic I’m guessing because it’s revving higher in six gear, cruising speed.
Yes, you have to be more engaged than automatic
Automatic feels faster. I guess that’s just the way it is, advanced technology in auto transmission made them unbelievably quick shift and smooth.
I’ve driven manuals all my life, both these cars are exceptional. My opinion on road trip like this the automatic is the way to go squeeze 20 miles to the gallon out of it. We’ve done it many times 330 miles per tank. Manual is fun but at this point in my life I’ll stick with the automatic it is simply joy to drive D for dummy.! LOL
Was hell of a way to break in a car!
Hope I didn’t bore too many of you with trip details
Cheers

Last day home from Charleston 800 miles

So, are you saying that you'll be selling the new one and getting another automatic?

Curious to know what the misfire is once you get that figured out.

Keep 22/A10 and 24/6 spd, we have small collection of muscle cars which these cars fall in that category. I do believe down line they will be sought after. In the meantime will drive whichever we feel like, mostly the A10. This in no way means the manual isn’t good, just the auto suits us more.

As you now own not one but two CT5 V blackwings, you are obligated to start a thread titled “Slick Blackwing’s Blackwings” to lord your double blackwing status over the rest of us.

I think you're the first one here to own TWO 5BW's. Congrats!

I'm trying to convince the BOD and CFO to let me get another. Seems I can't get a fair vote on that issue.

 

[Slick Blackwings]

I don’t know if it’s a curse or congratulations! Will see, have date with dealer will see if they can figure out problems.
Thanks man

My offer still stands. Drop it off here, I'll figure out what's up. The car may be returned with bald tires and no clutch, but I'll get 'er done.
