    I managed to snag one of these for $8,000 with a rebuilt trans, stage 2 clutch already in it with the 6 speed recently rebuilt. It needs the power steering fixed and the “overheat” warning which I believe the ground it had. She looks a little rough but she still has all her horsepower. Much love to the V1s

    After a decade and 120,000 miles I sold my '05 CTS-V. It's probably been the best car I've bought in the last 50 years. I already had a jeep and motorcycle so I didn't need it and wanted to save the cost. It was very reliable except you should know you have to replace the soft motor mounts every 75,000 mile or so.

    Hello Todd and Austin. Caught this one on my break. I will miss this car. What a gem of a car. I remember when you first introduced it to the channel. Thanks for recapping your memories and reviews of ownership. The next owner is getting even a better car, as you fixed it up a bit. Can't wait to see what comes next.

    You should drive your C5 corvette daily in the winter and do a video on how it is. Anyone driving a Corvette in the winter must have some seriously dynamic and impressive driving skills, second to none.

    Also so the SRX and The Viper had the same bolt pattern, and GM used the same on the Montana as well.

    • @PerformanceOnWheels
      @PerformanceOnWheels  Рік тому

      My bad I forgot about the SRX. The viper was .8 different. However you could probably make it fit. But the offset on wheels is so different it would never work. I had no idea about the Montana

    How do you get away with no front license plate, and what % window tint do you have? I'm having a 2006 shipped from FL with what looks like a 15 - 20% tint and no front plate or bracket. P.S., I live near Duluth (NW WI).

    • @PerformanceOnWheels
      @PerformanceOnWheels  4 місяці тому +1

      Just never got pulled over for it 🤷‍♀️. I bought the car with the tint, got pulled over once if my memory is correct the tint meter said 13%

      @@PerformanceOnWheels - and you didn't get a ticket for the tint or no license plate? Up here they even gave the UW Campus Cops arrest powers, running radar, etc. So we have the City, County, UW AND State Patrol on our backs. I'm going to get a plate bracket for the front and probably change my front window tints to 35 - 50% and hoping the fuzz stay away. Car should be here a week or two. I like the video.

    Hated my V1, i love my V2. The V1 is awesome but it rattles, electrical nightmare, terrible rear end, control arms, shifter, cooling system. I sold it and still smile when i think about that POS being gone. It's also a turd compared to my V2.

So I figured someone with considerably less experience than me and making a video with family might not be the most stimulating or informative video for me to watch……again I’m glad you are having fun and all that but that’s my reason since you asked……….do you have another cool car after you got rid of the V?

      I do them all the time in winter, but in summer when I have to buy performance tires and I’m in a car that’s known to have its rear differential explode when sliding & doing burnouts I would never want to risk $600 worth of back tires and a $5,000 rear diff.
      I bought a corvette Z06, I go thru that in the video. I have rebuilt it from the ground up doing tons of track and autocross events. I also now have a supercharged Miata
