As a V1 CTS-V owner I noticed one advantage over a Corvette. It doesn't attract as much attention from the police. The Corvette driver is assumed to be guilty of speeding etc by everyone including the police as it looks like it is speeding even standing still. The CTS-V is not common enough to be recognized by the police and unless you have super loud exhaust and it is lowered, the police tend to look past it at other cars trying to figure out who just did that burnout...lol
@paulwells420321 күн бұрын
Also if you are driving a V1 and want to do a burnout without damaging the differential: try getting the car rolling in first gear at about 20 mph and then dump the clutch into second gear. This avoids wheel hop and you can hold it in second longer as it is a taller ratio than first. And.... no matter what don't dump the clutch in first on a sticky race track... ever or the diff housing will crack. There are mods you can do (Creative Steel is a source) to beef up the rear end a bit or do the 8.8 swap. They are fun cars but have limitations.
@LS6dad4 күн бұрын
Agreed. Love the stealth factor. Looks great, great potential and rare factor. I love that they handle so well.

Things I wish I had known. The transmission is getting hard to find. But there are at least two places I found that will use a donor T6060 and do a bit of machining to fit the internals into your existing T56 case. Making for a direct bolt up replacement.

The shifter feel is what put me off of buying one recently. Its a great car and all but the shifter just wasn't fun in the 20 Minutes I test drove it. I also have a '19 Stang GT and if you have to say that the MT82 is way better, there is something off. Still an amazing car though in any other aspect.
@Danny_rodsАй бұрын
I agree , the lack of aftermarket support and cost of parts to make this car feel the way other cars feel from the factory was what made me sell it , you only had 2 options get a $400 creative steel setup or do a t56 magnum trans swap that would set you back about $4,000-$5,000 same for the rear end , get a v2 cradle or a 8.8 in the end that car needed thousands of dollars in parts just to make it feel how it should’ve from GM

I would 100% regrate getting a c5. Not becauae i wouldn't love it, they are one of my dream cars. Rather id regret it because i would never be able to drive it because i have 4 kids. Ctsv is the perfect dad car. Once the kids are all older and drive themselves ill get a c5, or whatever dream car i have at that time since it seems to change rapidly with me being so indecisive.
@Danny_rods4 ай бұрын
Right , I have a video cooking of some things to consider when buying a c5 and daily driving it , I think if you want a corvette you MUST have a daily driver separately, shit even if you’re single because the car is a hassle to drive around town , CTSV was so comfy and smooth and easy to drive
@LeopardShark215 ай бұрын
So other than the motor mounts and all the shit with the rear differential, is this overall a pretty reliable car and something that you could daily with minimal problems and typical maintenance?
@Danny_rods5 ай бұрын
Yeah , I would say it’s a couple grand up front to make all the factory upgrades and after that you pretty much just do regular maintenance, you could easily daily drive one if the wallet allows

@Danny_rodsАй бұрын
With this car it’s not necessarily the motor that needs love but more the car itself , you’re right about the LS being easy and reliable to work on , but for example a tranny mount is $400 for this car when almost any other car would be under $100 and these are parts that will eventually wear and need replacing

Oh I read that incorrectly I thought you said bolt not belt haha but as far as the belt that was the hardest part , I ran a string through the pulleys as if it was a belt and cut it once it went all the way around , I measured it and got a few sizes over and under , I sold the car if I had it I could look at the part number but 71 sounds right
@grod297 Жыл бұрын
Your belt is routed incorrectly. Go straight from the alternator to the water pump non rib side on the water pump pulley then go around the crank pulley the the power steering pump and ac. Other wise the distance from the crank pulley to the alternator is to long and you will get noise. If you do this you will find the belt you need is a 715k6 duralast belt. It is shorter than the one you have. Try it the routing is key

You just dont know how to drive it. My 92 LX 2.3 sounds the part and i do burnouts on the daily and lock both tires in. Do some upgrades like an 8.8 instead of the 7.5. Get you some chassis stiffners and get a mega squirt tuner. Its all plug n play and will give you a little more power to play with. Only thing i cant do is slide the car and thats fine

i believe the color is called medium titanium or something along those lines, the all red interiors are hard to find but i think they look so good without the top half of the dash being black. the all blue is incredibly rare too but looks great on white cars, this grey with a blue interior would look pretty bad ass as well in my opinion
