    Hey, I enjoyed your video. I'm an original 05' owner and just now rebuilding the transmission with 215K on it. Engine will be next as she's getting a little tired. I'll never sell this car and I've had numerous offers over the years. I love it! I'm a past 3 & 5 series BMW owner who got tired of there BS and stepped into this Baby and I've never regretted it.
    Cheers & Blessings!

    MN gang! 🤙 It’s awesome older cars like these are still getting the attention. I’m a Mopar guy, but I’ve got an ‘09 G8 and I get more compliments on that thing than I ever would with a Charger or Challenger, even if it was a hellcat. Funny enough, a black ‘06 CTSV with a cam popped up for $13k on marketplace and that’s what led me down the gen 1 V rabbit hole to this video 😂

    Greatest recalls left open ever on mine until I took it in for inspection at a dealer. Ended up replacing fuel pump, module, also new brake lines all around. Not bad! Thanks GM! Was 15 years old. Storage wouldn't take it with open recalls while I was overseas. Right around 150K miles on mine now.
    Crazy the rarity of these but also the crazy high miles most have. You can't help but drive them!

    I graduated in 2004 and my best friend leased one of these our senior year and I got to drive it a ton and absolutely fell in love. Ended up buying one a few years ago and did every single mod that you did as well and it was a TON of fun. You might wanna throw an LS7 Clutch and Slave in whenever you get a chance. Ended up getting into a 16' ATS-V but holy shit that was such a great car to own. Great video man, you almost make me want one again... but the twin turbo six is wild XD

    I'm 21 now, picked up a V with 3 accidents and 115k miles for ~$14k 2 years ago at 19. Was a really bad impulse buy from a mom and pop dealer and I definitely got shafted. Yet I still can't decide if I fully regret it or not. There's part of me that wants to go full crazy and go through the whole car and fix everything. Save up for the creative steel diff, fix all the grounding problems and broken electrical crap, replace the shit infotainment yet find a way to retain the DIC, fix up all the wear and tear on the interior. But I'm having a lot of paint problems and a small rust issue due to the previous repairs. I hate that I love this car, because it's painfully obvious it's a giant money pit. Yet it impresses me everyday I drive it, and every little mod makes it feel even better. Really wish I had a cleaner example, because now I can't imagine having anything else. I'd love to compare notes on weird issues, I've got some suuuper fun ones 🙄

      The diff changed very minorly... there's 4 generations of the diff. My car gas the second gen (they all suck) but yes minorly better. I'm unaware about the electrical issues. I've heard they are all bad. Things to look out for? Engine and transmission should be nothing to worry about at all.

One thing I noticed mine has that’s questionable is some minor steering wheel vibration/shake only around 60-70 mph. I’m guessing this is just a simple tire balance. My other question is the shifter knob seems to shake side to side while engaged and driving in any gear and any mph more then any other manual car I’ve had. Is this something you notice as well?

One thing to check on these engines: get an inch pound torque wrench and confirm your intake manifold bolts are torqued to 89 inch pounds. Most of mine were about 20! Smoke machine showed smoke coming out of the intake gaskets. Cleaned the bolts, loctite 243, followed the service manual torque sequence, all good now. Idles smoothly and pulls noticeably harder.@@PerformanceOnWheels
