What did you do to your Blackwing today?

[sonny200]

Just back from the car wash. I've had her for almost exactly 2 years. Picked her up from Otto Cadillac in Albany, NY on 1/28/2023. Currently have 38,349 on the odo. I've loved every single mile.

Getting ready to test out ice/snow mode and the new all-season Contis!

Just kidding, fuck that shit!

Do it! It doesn't look too bad!

Was out and about in the snow today - including on some unplowed roads etc. Car did great (running in snow/ice mode with Alpine snows). I ran the PDR for much of it but its probably only so exciting.

We got about 8 inches here in the burg. I couldn't even imagine taking my car out in this stuff. The air dam would essentially be a snow plow, and the ducting for the turbo radiators would be just filled with snow. But on the positive side of that equation, you would have ice chilled radiators for those turbos. ; )
If I do go anywhere..., I'd just drive the camino, sits up a bit higher, and I have the back end loaded down with bags of mulch.

That snow isn't going to shovel itself...., get at it.... : )

It was a clear, windy, and brisk 70 this morning... I was a bit cautious taking the BW out into the elements but we managed.

It's a bit too inclement around Chicago to keep driving my bw. I turned down the insurance and put her away for the winter over the weekend.

I thought it was just getting good for us near O'hare. My drive this morning was sideways the entire trip.

None of the unplowed sections I drove were un driven over....though I did plow some snow here and there. I had one opportunity to drive through deep virgin snow....perhaps if it hadn't also been a bit of a hill I would have gone for it.

Back in the day with my Audi - when it snowed 1 ft+ I used to head out to unplowed parking lots (me and the trucks & SUVs) and often I'd hoon around with my front end totally buried in the snow...none could stop me. The only issue I ever had was icy build up in my (rather tight) wheel wells. I made sure i had tools to chop it out - otherwise the shake got quite unpleasant...no issues today with the BW - quite a bit more space there...

What is this sno you speak of? Is that the weird white stuff in those pix?

Gorgeous here yesterday. Think it was around 70*

Well after 3 months of my baby blackwing being in the shop. I finally got it back last week. I got rear ended which took about 6 weeks to fix. The rest of the time it was at Exodus Performance getting some much needed upgrades. It is now pushing 622WHP on e85. I have since done 60 rolls with a ZL1, a couple hellcats, lots of mustangs, and some M cars. I’ve beat every car I’ve ran; all the owners claim they make more WHP than I do so it was nice to put them in their place. Funny thing is that I need to unlock my TCM and I’m limited to 525 torque so I still have some untapped potential with the current package.

 

[piranha971]

How do you get to 525 torque without unlocking the ecm?

TCM - his transmission computer is locked still

First satin PPF car EVER that I have seen that I think looks good. Badass machine there, congrats!

Not positive. I didn’t dyno it when it was on the JB4 so idk what it was pushing but it does increase your hp enough for you to get some more enjoyment out of it. The torque and HP from what I’ve seen is going to be in the same ballpark.

I appreciate it. I hate silver so I was HOPING the satin PPF would help and it definitely did.

Yep, it works well on that 4BW! Nice ride!

Taking a shot in the dark here but does anyone have a TCM from a 2022 CT4v blackwing that they are willing to trade for a 2024 TCM? They are reverse compatible. However, the 2022 TCM can be unlocked. Name the price!
