Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus not run flats. 29k miles and they still have some life left in them, but probably will have to replace them in another 5-10k miles.

Running 255/40ZR19 tires on all four with no problems and I can rotate them!

I would watch for the missing parts to show up on e-bay or craig's list sometime soon. Not many XLR bumpers in that color.

David and any Houston area XLR owners that may be interested, I have been a member of the Allante' club in Houston for years and they are open to all XLR owners to participate in their activities and meetings. It's a small informal club with no dues or membership formalities. I sometimes...

LS vs Northstar = no similarity whatsoever except they both burn gasoline.

No letter here and I did buy my XLR from a Cadillac dealer in Dallas. Our STS came with a DVD, maybe that would appeal to some more than reading a manual. The newest cars have so many gadgets I don't see how you could learn all of the features and functions without referring to the manual...

That does bring to mind something I have read about with the older northstars that did use a lot of oil due to being driven by grandpa or grandma in your case and the rings being stuck due to carbon buildup. You may want to run some techron through the gas and rev it up to redline on a regular...

If its not leaking it then it must be burning it. Northstars are famous for oil leaks, but probably not big enough to leak a quart that often. I have a STS with about 130,000 miles and the same Northstar engine and it uses no oil between changes (usually 7-8,000 miles). The XLR is does not...

And a lousy screen that you can't even see in bright daylight, much less with the top down.

Lots of options out there, but I personally have not seen any aftermarket wheels that look better than the stock wheels that came on the V.

From what I can tell Cadillac never did much to advertise the XLR. I only found out about it when I went to a dealer to look at the CTS-V and they had a XLR on the showroom floor. The dealer just laughed when I told them I wanted to test drive a CTS-V with the six speed manual. They said they...

Giz, here is a link to some flow testing results. Intercooler pump flow testing results Steven

May be the only time, but they definitely got wet before they left the factory in Bowling Green!

After sitting in traffic on a hot day I noticed that the acceleration of my V seemed sluggish and slower than normal. I traced the problem to the intercooler pump not running and properly cooling the air entering the engine from the supercharger. After moving the connector around on the back...

I had this same problem a few years back and the temp sending unit checked out fine. It turned out the thermostat was bad and causing the problem. It was stuck open, yes open, and the engine was not warming up as fast as the computer expected it too. The message "engine hot A/C off" is shown...

If you were able to make it fit you would probably be replacing head gaskets a lot more often than you would like.

CC, I get your point, but GM may not be making any money selling new cars to existing customers with that attitude. I hate to say it, but you probably made the right decision selling your XLR at the right time before the problem gets even worse. I have already had the experience of being...

My 2006 with with adaptive headlights suffered from the melting DRL lenses. Cadillac did replace one under warranty a few years ago. Now the other one is turning yellow so the problem did not stop with the newer adaptive headlights (at least not in 2006). I find it amazing that GM and...

I'll second Richard's post. Takes less than 30 minutes to remove the whole headlight assembly so you can get to the bulbs. The procedure is outlined somewhere on the forum, probably could search and find it. Stock bulbs are standard incandescent bulbs you can get at any auto supply. I...
