I contemplated not posting it, but...I am a weak person.

I do think his car looks good though!

Those wheels would look great on Rift.

Rift was my original order color, but then I realized it would drive me crazy trying to keep it clean.

Haha it was an apt comparison! I will say for the record pics don’t do these matte cars justice. Looks way more dynamic in real life.

I washed the 5BW.

A friend of mine from Mexico sent me his Dragy run with his Auto Blackwing. Oddly enough his car has the same color combo as mine. Run was done in 'my mode' with everything in comfort except exhaust. If settings are adjusted the car probably has another .1 or .2 in it if conditions are the same.

Broke the 500 mile break-in on the way back from Austin to Fort Worth. Definitely less dramatic than I was expecting

Can’t wait for this, was thinking my car is way too quiet but realized it’s probably just due to being limited to 4500rpm.

I've seen several of these videos now, and they are all missing the money shot: as soon as the redline goes up, drop two gears and hammer that shit straight to the limiter!

500 Miles - IT'S PARTY TIME!!!! Two acceleration runs with my CT5-V Blackwing six-speed!!

Check out my video below. It shows the transition of the tachometer at 500 miles to allowing the normal, full 6,500rpm rev range. Have I mentioned yet, I absolutely love this car?!?!?! Watch this video to the end. I get a nice, clean 0-151mph run!

That's an automatic...not the shot we're looking for.

Lol wut? That my friend is a manual. Yellow gear counter for rev-matching.

Quick q on rev matching’s other half - I take it no lift shifting is only really applicable when you’re beyond the 500mi mark where the revs are at the real redline?

I'd imagine it likely will work if you don't follow the suggested break in. Since the manual isn't electronically limited to 4500 RPM you can redline before 500 mi if you wanted to. Can't imagine it would turn off no-lift shift if it's not restricting RPMs

That being said, I'd like to hear how you 5BW owners like the no-lift. Only tried once in my 4BW as 1st gear it suggests you shift around 4500 rpm and 2nd gear is around 5700. No Lift shift, to my knowledge, should be used near redline and I just couldn't test it anywhere.
