I just bought one. What head unit did you put in? I want Android auto real bad.

True. My LS7 is butter in my 06 V1 with stock master

@@colehudson7799 I put in this Chinese head unit kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lciTntyo18_cf40.html

Tis a very good sedan. ZK

Did you lose any features when installing the headunit?

This and the G8.

RIPTIDE FPV oh yes and the SS

The e90 m5 6 speed

I always wanted to buy a 96 impala ss and ls swap it with a manual

LT1 Owner I love that car

Austin Bolus I had to rewind to make sure I heard that correctly in the video lol

immediate 5-stars

Luis Balderrama what happened to her

@@p71owner53 T-Boned by a dude speeding past a red. Hit me right on the rear driver side door. That was not a good day for anyone.

I'm surprised, I figured the SS was just a somewhat better V1

​@@CorbinGoodwin I thought that too until I spent some time with the SS. Admittedly, the SS does every single thing better than the V, but it doesn't have the personality. The SS has all the analog/rough around the edges of the V1 removed or engineered out. The SS is kinda like the Snap-on tool where the Harbor Freight version would have worked just fine and the V is "this just needs a bigger hammer".

SS is kinda lame compared to the v1

What did you do about hood clearance?

Hey HuffBag we got some questions for you

GM quality baby!

So much plastic. I thought Cadillac were supposed to be luxury...

I have an '03 Mercury Marauder and the interior is still solid. Rarely ever creaks, but there's a faint squeak probably from the suspension that it's had since I got it 7 years ago.

Im looking into getting a 2012 coupe and that the one thing I'm not looking for, all those damn creaks! I'm hoping they engineered them better and they hold together better.

You wouldn't be so surprised if you subscribed to him. Channel URL flyboy333 He doesn't post much anymore but there's a lot of good content there.

That video was filmed 7 years ago, so he IS older :) ZK

Share it with 100k friends and we will make more. ZK

They chopped up a svo. I saw the car for sale on Craigslist

They were already fucked.

They’ve been fucked up lol

Been fucked up lol

Nah, you can still scoop em for 11k or even less if you're patient

@@youngdon4490 Yep, just gotta find people who are asking reasonable prices. I just bought an 06 in great shape with 88k miles for 12.5k, just two weeks ago.

I bet you are super glad you made that purchase! Those things are unicorns and in todays market yoh got a steal

Ayyy my guy 😁

the pedo bear reference was not lost

The ride/handling balance is quite good, honestly the highway ride especially with good dampers is one of the best I've ever felt

@@CorbinGoodwin Pretty good bet they were benchmarking the E39 M5 and then put their own spin on it.

How's it running? Still amazing?

@@Woodcliff14 Actually I sold it around April of 2021.

why would you recommend no burnout without supporting mods are the diffs really that bad ?

So why then ?

@@tylercouture216 The LS6 is a "revier" engine. It's probably mostly the cam, so you could make the LS2 perform similarly if you wanted and make even more power. The LS6 had windows cast into the block to aid cylinder-to-cylinder breathing, but I don't know if the LS2 or 3 adopted this feature which was not on regular LS1 engines.

@@eb110americana I reallly really appreciate that info you dont even know

@CyberBoost Enterprises Since when does engine note have anything to do with how the car drives? I already said the have issues, subframes being one of them. Theres a reinforcement plate you can get from the dealer. They are on all M3's and regular E36's post 1995.

@CyberBoost Enterprises I love how s50s sound. Tons of induction noise when VANOS kicks in and some nice inline 6 rasp. I know it's weird, but not everything needs to sound like a Chevy smallblock.

I’m cross shopping an E36 M3 sedan with this & 330i zhp manuals have to drive them first had an E34 525i, E30 325es coupe and have a C5z Missing having a BMW though the M50s,S50 sounds way better than the engines in E46s !

@@moiseslopez7898 Not a huge fan of how the S54 sounds personally. With the usual bolt-ons they are very raspy and tinny, in that Honda fartcan kind of way. Can be avoided with specific kinds of headers and "rasp remover pipes".

​@@placeholdername3206 I'll have to dig deeper on forums instead of youtube to find anti rasp exhaust setups for e46s

N54 335i would give it’s owner a run for its money lol

Alex Torkelson it gets stomped on every time but the old v - ls2v1 owner.

I rode with Corbin in that car. He was fast and bold and knew the roads. And I didn't get tetanus! ZK

He sucks...everyone is right

It takes a great deal of practice, composure, and talent to operate a fast vehicle around turns while carrying an engaging conversation with a passenger. Zack indeed does both of these pretty well.

I plan in putting a ls7 in my g8

@@tylercouture216 ooh my lawd thats the best engine ever! I want a G8 or an SS so bad man

Or gto

@@LuckyClipsLC yes! if I lived In cali I would love to get mine on the show. GTO's are great and still pretty cheap.

Once I ls7 swap my G8 Gt I'll send one take a email

To this day no one knows

What was the issue you know about with the fuel tank?

@@chrisreynolds2410 they never upgraded it from the V6. Same 17 gallon tank. 100 mile trip took half the tank trying to save gas... kinda.

I'll have to google those!

Crysmatic the v1 has a great chassis and far superior in every way to that entry level 2.0. That car count keep up to the v1 at the track, mountains, or straight line.

I beat the snot out of my stock read dif.

Is that why it sounds like interior plastic creaks every time he turns?! haha

@@bhogue6391 That's the aftermarket shifter, actually. They mention it near the end of the video. I have an 06 V with 88k miles and there are no creaks or rattles.

They're not really creaky, my dad has had one since new, and the interior looks way nicer in beige. Its the perfect ride compromise stock and the ls6 revs so quickly and smoothly, it's the only car he owns that isn't modified.

ZROSTARS yup Cadillac did cool shit in the mid 2000’s

John Lukach can’t compare them man. V1 is ages older.

No E85 for him. ZK

I have one with headers no cats and no resonators and no mufflers and 3.5” pipes. It sounds absurd.

Definitely a few ways to solve the exhaust problem but bolting on the stock manifolds that I was given was by far the easiest. I always wondered why they changed armrests, now I know! Interesting to hear about the rack, I don't think it's crazy slow but maybe I'll have to check mine.

I've made some decent money but if it's a lot of short traffic-y city rides I don't really make much

As in Chevy as then yes no one bought one

There were 4 gens of diffs in between 04-07 the 1st & 2nd gen diffs came from the factory with 04-05 and were crap by all measures not reinforced enough rib-wise obviously the 1st on the 04 more than 2nd gen. 06 got a revised 3rd gen which was significantly less likely to break due to moderate to medium wheel hop. The 4th gen was just ever so slightly improved over the 3rd. Came on some 07s but not all (my 07 V has a third gen). The good thing is that these diffs are drop in replacement for each other and many owners got their diffs replaced under warranty with quiet a few ending up with newer gen diffs on older Vs. No matter what gen you have though with a V1, no burnouts or 1st gear clutch drops for that car. It's not worth the risk. I have a modified T56 with 2.66 1st gear ratio, my wheel hop at hard take offs I would say is less powerful than it was with the 2.97 1st gear ratio but still I don't fully clutch drop or do burnouts. Doesn't fit the character of the car anyways. My car is all about twisty roads and powerful highway pulls. I did however end up adding a differential brace with a 4th mounting point for those occasions when I really want to takeoff 🤣

@@CTS-V sorry for the old reply, how do you know the difference? Have an 07 and wondering if I have a 2nd or 3rd gen diff

@@wildtigercoffee there is a tag with a part number and diff ratio on the top of diff rear right. By these part numbers you can tell which version you have. Rev 1: # 10361308 Rev 2: # 10368780 Rev 3: # 15793756 Rev 4: # 25873498

HowaShooter that’s not a factory v motor anymore it isn’t as cool.

@@Sessions1 650hp isn't cool? That's weird

HowaShooter just isn’t a V anymore, it’s swapped so yeah

@@Sessions1 it was the same blocks that came in the Vs. So maybe you are just ignorant of how GM built these things?

HowaShooter I’m not, I personally think it’s cool, they just don’t care because it’s heavily modified they want to test drive a pure v.

I have a 2004 Seville I bought used, with a Bose, and it doesn't sound much better than the basic system in my old Silverado! For what that cost new it was a ripoff, but then look at the cost of any luxury car and the option(s) cost. I also have a 2005 STS V8 with a Bose and about 10 speakers and it doesn't sound much better than the Seville's 5 speaker. Anyway, I only found out after buying the Seville and STS that the old CTS-V's were all 6 speed sticks! I kind of knew they had 'Vette motors but assumed they were auto's or a choice of manual or auto. They must be one of the very few manual only cars, esp. for sedans (!) in recent years. Crazy! I want one!

Dan whats wrong with the 07’s reliability?

@@Sessions1 The rear diff couldn't handle the power was the main issue. Plus it's a gm, see Scotty Kilmer's view on that haha

Dan did you not learn anything about this video? This is an 07 with the sting diff, the one that doesn’t break. You’re referring to 04-05..

@@Sessions1 My mistake. I thought it was the 08 model year where they resolved the issue. I hadn't watched this video in a while

Dan this car only ran through 04-07 Cadillac didn’t make a V for 08

Dude, where have you been?? It's been probably 2 years since matt did this sort of one take.

Thanks my guy

Yeah it’s a good car until you need to make repairs then it’s a money pit and headache

@@jlopez1017d not really, price for parts have come down significantly and there are so many resources and for the most part they are easier to work on than domestics.

Hamza I know 2 people who got rid of their cars because of costs. I’m not sure what went wrong but they said the repairs were expensive. I really wanted one but I got scared off especially since I’m not a good mechanic I’d rather pay a professional to do the work

@@jlopez1017d well there you go. If your ok with getting your hands dirty its affordable otherwise just like any other car its gonna cost$$$
