Bro are you driving by my house? How do you know this?

Had one of these as a rental for a couple weeks in 2006 minus the V. I absolutely LOVED IT!!! Very fast even without the LS beast of an engine. Great handling fun to drive.

@@24bergman I had a 2006 CTS 4 in late 2007 with the 3.2 and it was decently quick. But I upgraded to the 2007 Grand Prix GTP Comp G and that was by far superior where performance came in. The CTS had too many parts similar to the Malibu and G6 at the time and the GP surprisingly has the same options from that exact time. I was very surprised!

Oh man I bet those numbers will make you sad

And you're too good for an SS.

When you want a corvette but you also desire a reckless driving charge

I don't ever remember the wagons being affordable. wasn't there only under 1000 made or something i looked it up and am seeing 1200. Id think they flew off the used market shelves

The V wagons were NEVER affordable. And they likely never will be. They sold in such low numbers they're basically instant collector cars.

There was indeed a old Escort on the right hand side.

As he completely overlooks the Evo.

I don't think he was talking about a car

To be fair, Evos are super generic. At least Escorts are something you don't typically associate with their brand.

Oh look an Evo, doesn't even turn head that way. "that's a sweet escort"

CTS-Vs get down what are you talking about

Pretty much sums up early 2000s GM. Fun fact - the steering wheel and those weird air vents are the same as in mid 2000s Saabs.

This is the exact reason why I never touched a CTS-V, GTO, or SS.

Ahaa, thpught that steering wheel looked familiar, being outside the US you almost never see these, but Saabs are everywhere still

@@drunk3n_m0nk12 GTO interior is worlds nicer than anything else GM built during the time... and it only took being built in Australia to do it... If you think the GTO interior is crap youve never been inside one. Seats are bar none one of the nicest ever.

Welcome to GM!

By this te the Northstar was a well sorted engine. It was a quarter century old by the time it was dropped and didn't live up to its hype compared to then new competitors engines. If this car got the STS V supercharged Northstar it would have been just as awesome, but significantly less friendly to hotrodders.

i had a Northstar.. the overhead cams sounded amazing.. never had any issues with it. it was 2002 sts

@@DrewLSsix The Blackhawk is Cadillacs replacement for Northstar. So far it's been cancelled for any future models. Sounds great though.

@johnsanko4136 , they pretty much had the Northstar sorted out by 2004 (finally). I have a 2004 Seville and a 2006 STS, both are excellent.

Back in the mid 2000s, the commonly joked about enlisted car was the Cobalt SS/SC since the V6 Mustangs were still pretty slow and GM had discontinued the F Body. There was a really good chance that if someone said they owned one new, they were military. Relatively cheap, light, able to be kicked up to 250 HP with a smaller blower pulley and bigger injectors.

Excuse me, it's 5 1/4". That extra quarter inch matters, you know.

1st gen Fit? I use the back 2 cup holders behind the e-brake in my 2007 all the freakin time

@@willdowns1745 nope, 3rd gen. Usually the one near the driver-side vent gets my cup because it's easy to reach, tho. The cupholders in the center console are in front of the shifter, so they don't get in the way.

A bit random but still about cupholders this reminded me of: As a German delving into American KZfaq Car Reviewers i always wondered what the obsession with Americans and Cupholders is and how especially in pre-2000s German and other European Cars the lack of Cupholders or placement of Cupholders was a major complaint until i found out why Cupholders have been super important and standard in American Cars since a long time: Drive-In & Drive-Thru Food Places and how normal those have been in the USA since a long time. Over here we also have American Fast Food Places (Mainly just McD, BK, KFC have Drive-Thru) but i still remember how in the early 1990s they were mostly in the center of Cities and at the Airport or Train Station, so they didn't have Drive-Thru. So in case anyone else wondered why most German and other European Cars pre-2000s didn't have Cupholders or just some Clip-on as Accessoires, now you know why. Also: As a Kid in the early 1990s when our Family would drive to the Netherlands or somewhere else with a long drive i remember we would always put the Soda Cans and Bottles in cheap clip-on Cupholders, it was normal and nobody expected Cars to come with Cupholders. Fascinating and weird how that differed between America and over here Prost & Cheers from the Berchtesgadener Land in the Bavarian Alps

Vent cupholders are the shit - More cars need this feature

LazerLord10. I love the 3rd gen Honda Fit so much I bought a second one.

Nah, they get the base model with the 3.0 or 3.6 and stretch the chains.

Base model cts (coke dealer) Base model Altima/Sentra (weed dealer) would be a little closer.

Truth be told, it's surpringing to see a 20+y-o survivor economy car in running condition after many winters.

@@mattskull16 Yeah, I've seen two 2nd gen Escorts in relatively good condition still being driven over the last 6 months. Both were the wagon models. (no visible rust, after all desert southwest car) Hardly ever see them anymore, remember when they were plentiful. I preferred the 2nd gen look over the 1st or 3rd gen, especially the more bulbus rounded look of the 3rd gen. The 2nd gen is closer to the European look i remember seeing when I was in Germany in the early 80's, and the early to late 90's 5th gen European Escort. I didn't realize tell later the Mazda 323/Protegé were built on the same platform with Ford. If you got the GT or LX-E, it came with the Mazda higher horsepower engine.

In a few years I'll be the first one to remove the tints off a CTS-V. I won't forget you.

Honestly i think now is the last hooraah for gas cars and a very good time to be a car guy. You can get a hellcat with 707 hp for roughly 50k and now all these older 400+ hp cars are getting affordable to the point where 18yr old timmy can get himself into one without breaking the bank. Almost anyone can afford a sub 5second 0-60 car thse days with the exception of the current market

I have a 05 V1. I’m waiting on my cam parts it’s been since December.

My thoughts as well. I love the Corvette, but I wanted something more practical, and the added benefit over a Camaro/Challenger/Mustang is that you can actually see all around the car without too much car blocking your view.

It does suck, and the NAV was outdated in 2004, but you get used to it. I installed a Hurst shifter and that ties everything together more than the truck stick it used to have.

@@-._._._-_._._.- Sigh. My dream car, right there.

If only there was a more common LS GM wagon like the Holden Commodore...

The LSA supercharger can be bolted to the LS2 with a pair of adapters or a pair of LS3 heads. Pretty simple to be honest. A large number of parts can actually transfer from the V2 to the V1, such as the brakes and the entire rear cradle.

Yeah the 3.8 was almost dead by this point. Only in legacy platforms like the W body-same with the 60 degree V6 (3.4, 3.5, High Value 3.9).

Moooooo goes the 3.8 in Holden Commodores. As does the 3.6

3800 is NOT a performance engine. It was a horse (or cow for that matter) but wasn't made for power. Even with the blower (and different heads) it was OKAY

I had to go look up that 'recall'. woooooow.

No, lol the recall was to take the "oval" out of the key hole so your 15 lbs of keychains had less of a pendulum effect on your ignition cylinder when slaloming through neighborhoods drunk at 3am. They put inserts in to center the key ring or gave you new keys.

@@LS1Highwind That's not what they did with mine any of the times it was at the dealer. They told me they were legally obligated to do that stupid keyring on a keyring thing when they sent me off the lot.

@@lostinthemasses right. Keys have to have rings on them. The actual "fix" was the little bitch ass plastic inserts glued into the keys "oval". Unless for some reason Cadillac keys didn't have an oval so yea maybe they just inspected the keys n added the rings. Either way I agree it's dumb. Just wanted to clarify what they were "trying" to do. Edit: I will say you CAN decline a recall, at least in Illinois. Been at the dealership over 10 years n see it all the time. Camaro guys too cool to lose their flip key, etc 😬

@@LS1Highwind Ahhh, I don't have that many keys on mine, and forget that some people hang half their closet off of their keys and act suprised when cars weren't made for that.

@@ahahuehafook4207 ...and put an LS in it

As long as you can overlook replacing oil pickup tubes for cracking, exhaust manifold bolts that break consistently, camshafts that go flat for no reason, intake coolant leaks, valve springs that break for no reason, and burning oil because the valve covers fill with sludge even with regular maintenance then yeah it is 👍🤣. A LS is pretty subpar when compared to any Toyota V8, a Coyote 5.0, the Ford 4.6 or the Honda V6. It is better than Dodge/Ram V8 engines but that's hardly a accomplishment.

I've seen FJ's with an LS but never a Chevy with a UZ. An LS is enough. It's reliable enough, small enough, cheap enough, available enough, tuneable enough, powerful enough. I doubt there's another engine family that strikes that balance.

@@fj60driver we have a work truck with an LS2 in it. The odometer stopped working at just over 450,000 original miles. The valves are starting to get a little wheezy and she burns about a quart between oil changes... but that's pretty small issues for an engine that has never had a problem for any reason and been abused every day of it's life.
