- My Dad and I had a little father son competition.. we bet each other we could find the most fun car under 20 grand. Today we put them up next to each other to see which one of these old GM performance cars can take home the crown! CTS-V1 VS C5 Convertible

So. The question is quite simple. CTS-V1 or C5 Convertible/base?
V all day every day. I have an identical V, and it’s the only GM car that I’ve had that has been built well enough to warrant keeping. At 170K miles now and nearly 10 years of daily driving, she’s now a garage queen, and slowly being restored. There is something special about the V1, so I plan on holding on to it and enjoying it.
Thanks for the comparison video.
I love the v1 it most definitely is a special car. I kinda fell upon buying this one and I'm so glad I did. It really is a great experience, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Have a great day👍🏼
6 speed is a must, if you don’t mind the $2k clutch job
6 speed or bust!
I want a c5 pretty bad, just a base model is fine with me. Can find decent ones for around 13 I just have to many kids to haul around. Guess I start dreaming of a v now.
lol I've been on UA-cam for 14 years and I have 1.2k subscribers lol. I don't market my channel though. I've found it's way way easier to make money the old fashioned way. That being said, your video was well done and nicely edited. I threw a like your way. This is way better than my garbage lol.
We have been at it just a little bit now... I can confidently say its my dream job, always wanted to be a journalist best time to start is while I'm young! Started at 18, 19 now. I do appreciate your complement on my channel I just love doing this
@@PerformanceOnWheels You are very well spoken especially for your age. Keep up the good work.
@@PNW_Car_Mods Yes sir, will do
Man I was expecting a race Lol.
Unfortunately it didn't happen on camera. Off camera they were about dead even
Well, I did choose the 1999 C5 Corvette convertible - it's been in my garage for 11 years now. So, your review was pure confirmation bias for me.
11 years is a long run
What did you pay for it eleven years ago out of curiosity?
Great review guys.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to comment! Have a great day
As a former V1 owner, if you need more than 2 seats V1 is better………..everything else C5 is better
Interesting perspective. Are you talking about a vert or coupe/z06?
@@PerformanceOnWheels All the above. The V1 is fun, but the shifter and questionable rear diff are real mood killers when driving a “fun” car.
The CS short throw fixed alot of that for me. I put sticky tires on the v so I don't even worry about the diff anymore it won't lose traction
@@PerformanceOnWheels yeah I had a modified Hurst in mine, but it is what it is with the remote set up it has. Just make sure you have a backup diff waiting 🤣
I definitely don't wanna buy one I'd rather sell it first
How can we find out how many V1’s are left in existence.
Very good question. I’m not sure. There’s a V1 VS the world group on Facebook with more members in it than V1s ever built lol
Funny thing I think the insurance company values these at about $7,000 I think. V1
Hagerty insurance will do any value I got $22,000 for mine due to miles.
CT’s-v
I agree.
Just subbed! Put a turbo on the v!
His wise dad is telling him to keep it stock.
Why thank you! I mean..... if the channel makes enough income to pay for the turbo on the v.. I'm all for it!
@@PerformanceOnWheels haha right on. You could get a lot of content out of a turbo especially if you install it with your dad. Did I hear you mention the f type in the past tense in this video? What happened?
